North West Film Archive

The North West Film Archive will be presenting an evening of films on Thursday 10 July.

The first half of the evening will feature extracts from a programme recently produced for the BBC on life in the 1960’s and 70’s.

The second half of the programme will feature old films from around the Bolton area.

The meeting is open to non members and all are invited to attend.

Le Mans

Bolton and Paderborn Video Clubs visited France in May as guests of the Le Mans Video Club. There were two evenings when films were shown from the three Clubs, but there was also ample time for social activities, most notably a tour of the world famous Motor Museum at the 24 Hour Le Mans Circuit.

  

Movie Challenge

The club organised a Movie Challenge Competition for Clubs in the North West. Films will be shown and awards. The standard of the entries was outstanding but Southport’s Rent-a-Mate was eventually decided the winner. This well acted humorous film pipped Preston’s atmospheric U-482 which was runner up. Swan MovieMakers Sand & Sail displayed exceptional fast moving action shots and was awarded third position.
