King’s Lynn Community Cinema Club’s latest special event looks like another hugely entertaining affair. This time we have been working with the Norfolk Folklore Society and Reel Connections, to bring you ‘An Evening with the Norfolk Folklore Society’.
This will take place on Thursday 20th November at the Majestic Cinema, and the evening begins at 7pm with eerie folk horror artwork on display from Matt Willis (Shuck Zine/The Folklore Box) with exclusive posters available to buy and a free commemorative badge for all who dare to attend.
Folklorists Siofra Connor and Stacia Briggs will then guide audiences through tales where the boundary between myth and nightmare blurs. Siofra will unearth the legend of Norfolk’s very own big cat, the infamous Norfolk Puma, while Stacia will explore the secrets of the Majestic itself and introduce a film that stalks the line between desire and dread, all with the Society’s trademark shiver and a smile.
The event also includes a short archive film from the East Anglian Film Archive, introduced by Guy Martin of Reel Connections, showcasing a quirky East Anglian tradition!
Then at 8pm the lights dim for Jacques Tourneur’s cult 1942 masterpiece Cat People: a taut, terrifying fable of desire, transformation and death, where shadows conceal more than they reveal. You’ll never look at passion, or your pet cat, in quite the same light again.
Tickets for the evening of folklore and horror can be purchased from the Majestic Cinema in King’s Lynn, with reduced ticket prices for KLCCC members priced at just £4.95: https://www.majestic-cinema.co.uk/event/103211
