Welcome to our 15th season of films

The first film in our 15th season is the wonderful Seaside Special, which was filmed in Cromer by a German director, Jens Meurer.

The documentary explores the theme of Brexit from a European point of view.

The director interviews both Remainers and Brexiteers as well as following the rehearsals and build up of the End of the Pier Show.

Cromer was overwhelmingly for Brexit, the cast of the show largely for Remain.

The film is never condescending nor derogatory, but examines without bias Cromer’s British eccentricity with a light and affectionate touch. The director himself describes the film as “a love letter to Great Britain”.

OUR PICTURE HOUSE AND HOW TO BUY TICKETS

All tickets are £5 and can be purchased from Barnwells Newsagents in Aylsham Market Place. They can also be reserved for payment on the night of the film by emailing bookingsaph@gmail.com, or they can be purchased from the Box Office on the evening of our screenings at the door of the Town Hall – subject to availability.


We regularly invite audiences attending our screenings to suggest films for the future that are then voted for and become our “Audience Choice” selection.
