High Contrast Cinema, a non-profit, volunteer-run community cinema project, returns to The Allendale Centre in Wimborne on 13th September 2024 to begin their second year of screenings. The project was formed by a group of friends whose mission has been to welcome the local community to accompany them on their journey to celebrate films that have shaped our collective imaginations for generations.
Following a successful first year after launching in September 2023 they are delighted to return with another selection of classic movies, beginning with Alfred Hitchcock’s 1950 thriller, Strangers on a Train. They hope to continue to build their audience of local film fans who all have a shared love and appreciation of the artistry and magic of movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Matt Clark of the High Contrast team says: “We exceeded our expectations over the last 12 months and have been thrilled to show films like Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard on a big screen to a captivated audience. We started off by venturing into the mysterious alleyways and shadowy corners of film noir, and with the support of our regular attendees we hope to continue in our quest to bring films that are both important and entertaining back to a communal setting, many decades after they were first released.”
Regulars to the High Contrast screenings have been able to meet fellow film fans, share their thoughts, and enjoy trailers to forthcoming attractions along with an introduction describing the background and some history for each film. The recent addition of a raffle with a prize that ties into the night’s main feature has been a terrific success.
The programme for the rest of the year is Strangers On A Train (13/09/2024), Suddenly (04/10/2024), The Killers (01/11/2024) and Miracle on 34th Street (01/12/2024).
