As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

There will be a light buffet style lunch, teas and coffees before watching the film at 1.30pm. The event should finish 3.00pm – 3.30pm depending on the length of the film.

The Color Purple centres around Celie’s painful but triumphant journey of self-realisation as she faces prejudice, abuse and sexual violence, eventually leaving her abusive husband for a romantic relationship with jazz singer, Shrug Avery and becomes an independent business woman.

This musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel, featuring jubilant and defiant songs in the face of challenging themes.

EVENT CINEMA: Exhibition on Screen: Painting the Modern Garden- Monet to Matisse – Bonington Cinema, Arnold

Tue 27 Feb – Wed 6 Mar, Various Times £12.50pp

Based on the sell-out show at the Royal Academy of Arts, London 

Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative and extensive exhibition from the Royal Academy of Art, London.

From the exhibition walls to the wonder and beauty of artists’ gardens like Giverny and Seebüll, the film takes a magical and widely travelled journey to discover how different contemporaries of Monet built and cultivated modern gardens to explore expressive motifs, abstract colour, decorative design and utopian ideas. Guided by passionate curators, artists and garden enthusiasts, this remarkable collection of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century will reveal the rise of the modern garden in popular culture and the public’s enduring fascination with gardens today. Long considered spaces for expressing colour, light and atmosphere, the garden has occupied the creative minds of some of the worlds greatest artists. As Monet said, ‘Apart from painting and gardening, I’m no good at anything’.  For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, this is an ideal film.

Filmed and Directed by David Bickerstaff
Produced by Phil Grabsky
