Maldon Film Club's 18th season continued in November with the screening of Babyteeth, Compartment No 6 and Ammonite.

The next film to be shown is the Oscar-winning Another Round.

It will be screened on December 13 at Maldon Town Hall, and is described as a "fun, touching and thought-provoking" drama about friendship, freedom, and alcohol.

The film tells the story of Martin, Tommy and Peter, a close-knit group of friends, colleagues, and high school teachers. They are facing stale careers, failing marriages and the cruel certainty of lost youth.

That changes once they are inspired by a theory that people are more relaxed, poised and self-confident when they maintain a consistent 0.05% blood alcohol concentration. The friends set rules and, together, start observing the effects of the intoxicating social experiment.

After a short break, Maldon Film Club will return in 2023.

The first two films to be screened are Rams, on Wednesday 4 January followed by the award-winning La Belle Epoque on Wednesday 18 January.

This season's programme continues until May 24 2023, and the films to be screened from February onwards are as follows:

February 1 – Nomadland
February 15 – Minari
March 1 – Promising Young Woman
March 15 – Parallel Mothers
March 29 – Belfast
April 12 – The Worst Person in the World
April 26 – Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
May 14 – The Father
May 25 – Drive My Car
