Welcome to the Film Club’s Home Page – thank you for your interest!

Our next film, to be screened on Friday 17th April (8pm) at Chorleywood War Memorial Hall, is the bittersweet comedy drama The Ballad Of Wallis Island (2024: Cert. 12A: 109 mins) directed by James Griffiths, starring Tom Basden, Tim Key, Carey Mulligan and Sian Clifford.

An eccentric lottery winner (Charles) lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite folk music duo – McGwyer Mortimer – back together again. His fantasy turns into reality when the bandmates (and former lovers) accept his invitation to play a concert at his home on Wallis Island. But old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.

“A gloriously British movie, The Ballad of Wallis Island is just a little bit magic – and thoroughly cast its spell over me.” Tori Brazier, The Metro.

“..this is a small gem of a film that deserves to become a cult classic.” Rich Cline, Shadows On The Wall

On Friday 15th May, we will screen H is for Hawk (2026: Cert 12A: 115mns) an emotional drama based on a true story and best-selling book. Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, it stars Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Lindsay Duncan, Denise Gough and Sam Spruell.

Following her father’s sudden death, a Cambridge professor (Helen) grieves by recalling memories of their time together birdwatching and exploring the natural world. She turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as Helen teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, she discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

“This is a warmly emotional film that avoids even a hint of sentimentality” Rich Cline, Shadows On The Wall

“Foy pulls through in every sense. She gives a remarkable performance — unshowy, precise and powerful.”  Tom Shone, The Sunday Times
