Film Society finds the perfect Venue
Lincoln Film Society is proud to announce that from the start of its next season, it will be showing films in full digital format.
After many months of discussions with its hosts Bishop Grosseteste University College, the College has decided to refurbish the theatre, which will be known as The Venue, with improvements to the seating and other furnishings and, most importantly, the installation of a digital cinema projection system with full surround sound.
Next season's films have already been chosen, subject to availability. Now members will be able to look forward to seeing the best of contemporary world and independent cinema to the same levels of sound and vision quality as the professional multiplex.
Our new season opens on September 14th. For details of the likely order of screening, please look at our Films this Season page. We look forward to see you there.
Our next presentation...
Friday May 25th
Another Year (UK 2010). 129 mins. Dir: Mike Leigh. Cert 12A

Our season comes to a fitting close with another majestic film by arguably British cinema's finest current director. Set over 4 seasons, the film follows the fortunes of Tom and Gerri, happily married for years and totally at ease with their lot, and their family and friends. Leigh paints a touching and truthful picture of the ups and downs of modern life, with tremendous performances from a wonderful ensemble cast.
Starring: Jim Broadbent, Ruth Sheen, Lesley Manville
All Film Society films start at 7.30 pm. Screenings take place on Friday evenings at The Bishop Greaves Theatre (soon to be known as The Venue), Bishop Grosseteste University College Campus - see map below.
