H is for Hawk (Philippa Lowthorpe, 2025)
<p>Hello film fans, I’m Kris Grainger, podcast producer and your host for this latest episode of the Eccleshall Community Cinema Podcast. I’m here to bring you news of our next screening, H is for Hawk.</p><br><p>Before we go any further, I think we should just take a moment to celebrate a momentous landmark. No, i’ve not cleaned the bathroom, but it’s the podcast’s 1-year anniversary, so Happy Birthday to us! It’s been a great year, and long may we continue!</p><br><p>Coming up this month we are screening H is for Hawk by director Phillipa Lowthorpe. It stars Claire Foy (known for roles in Wolf Hall, The Crown, and First Man). After the sudden death of her father, Helen Macdonald is overwhelmed by grief. She struggles with depression and withdrawal from ordinary life.To cope, she decides to train a goshawk, a wild and notoriously difficult bird of prey. The goshawk she acquires is called Mabel. Like Hamnet, the film’s theme touches on grief, but also like Hamnet, it is also about coping and psychological recovery. It is about the activities we undertake to make life bearable, to find meaning, and to find acceptance. It promises to be an uplifting experience.</p><br><p>We'll also update you on our traditional July semi-outdoor screening with optional fancy dress. </p><p>For more information on the screening, please check out our Facebook page, “Eccleshall Community Cinema Club”. </p><br><p>The date for your diary is Thursday 25th June at 7:30pm, upstairs at The Royal Oak on Eccleshall High Street.

Hamnet (Chloé Zhao, 2025)
<p>Hello film fans, I’m Kris Grainger, podcast producer and your host for this latest episode of the Eccleshall Community Cinema podcast. I’m delighted to bring you news of our next screening, Hamnet, featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Irish actress, Jessie Buckley. More on that later, but before I welcome my co-hosts…</p><br><p>Joining Keith and I, as Keith was swanning off when we had the screening of The Choral, is our script writer and occasional guest co-host, she has a film PhD so we know we’re in good hands today</p><br><p>Hamnet is a drama based on a historical novel by Maggie O’Farrell. It reimagines the life of William Shakespeare and his family. It’s really the story of the death of William and Anne’s son, Hamnet, and how personal tragedy can be transformed into great art, in this case, the play Hamlet.</p><br><p>O’Farrell said that while studying Hamlet at school, she learned that Shakespeare had had a son named Hamnet who died before the play was written. She was struck by how closely the names “Hamlet” and “Hamnet” resemble each other, and began wondering what it might have meant for a father to write a play so similar to his dead son’s name, and how the boy’s mother would have felt about it.</p><br><p>For more information on the screening, please check out our Facebook page, “Eccleshall Community Cinema Club”. There’s more information in the show notes, where you’ll also find our email address to join the mailing list or comment on the podcast. The date for your diary is Thursday 21st May at 7:30pm, upstairs at The Royal Oak on Eccleshall High Street. Tickets for Hamnet are £5—that’s more value than you can Shakespeare a stick at!</p><p>Please subscribe and share.</p><p>To join the cinema mailing list or contact the club or the podcast, please email: <a href="mailto:eccleshallcommunitycinema@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eccleshallcommunitycinema@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EccleshallComCine?locale=en_GB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eccleshall_community_cinema/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</p><br><p>When Keith is on his travels, <a href="https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/sv-Stormbird" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">you can follow him here</a>.</p><p>Or <a href="http://www.stormbirdgoesglobal.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">click here</a> to read about the travels of Stormbird</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Choral (Nicholas Hytner, 2025)
<p>Hello and welcome to the foyer of Eccleshall Community Cinema Club's podcast. </p><br><p>I’m delighted to bring you news of our next screening, The Choral. </p><p>Penned by Yorkshire-born playwright and national treasure, Alan Bennett, The Choral stars a slew of British acting talent including Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Alun Armstrong, and Simon Russell Beale - all celebrated stage, film, and television actors in their own rights. </p><br><p>To discuss that with me, I want to say a massive welcome to my guest co-host Ruth Martin. </p><br><p>The Choral is Bennett’s first original screenplay in over 20 years, though he feels more present in film due to Hytner’s adaptations of Bennett’s plays, often first performed at the National Theatre. </p><p>Set in 1916 in Yorkshire during the First World War, The Choral centres on a choral society in the town of Ramsden that keeps losing choristers due to the conscription of young men. Under the direction of the demanding new choirmaster, Dr Henry Guthrie (played by Ralph Fiennes), the group is forced to rebuild its ranks by bringing in a varied mix of recruits. </p><p>As they prepare to stage Elgar’s monumental The Dream of Gerontius, they must contend with the pressures of war, rising suspicion of outsiders, and the looming threat of conscription. </p><br><p>For more information on the screening, please check out our Facebook page, “Eccleshall Community Cinema Club” and there’s more information in the show notes, as well as our email addresses - one to join the mailing list and one to get in touch with the podcast. The date for your diary is Thursday 23rd April at 7:30pm upstairs at The Royal Oak on Eccleshall high street. Tickets for The Choral are £5—now that’s a note-worthy bargain!</p><p>Please subscribe and share.</p><p>To join the cinema mailing list or contact the club or the podcast, please email: <a href="mailto:eccleshallcommunitycinema@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eccleshallcommunitycinema@gmail.com</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EccleshallComCine?locale=en_GB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eccleshall_community_cinema/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</p><br><p>When Keith is on his travels, <a href="https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/sv-Stormbird" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">you can follow him here</a>.</p><p>Or <a href="http://www.stormbirdgoesglobal.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">click here</a> to read about the travels of Stormbird</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
