Visit to Electric Picture Palace, Southwold
Saturday 8^th July

The 70 seat Electric Picture Palace, owned by the Southwold Film Society, was created from a 19th century stable and cart-shed in 2002 to give its audience experience of cinema-going in its heyday with a commissionaire outside, usherettes, a front of house manager in a DJ.   During an interval in the film a “Tiny Wurlitzer” organ will rise up and be played and ice creams can be bought.   Those of you who came on our trip in 2016 will remember what a memorable experience it was.

We will be showing Empire of Light (2022), written and directed by Sam Mendes and starring Olivia Coleman, Micheal Ward and Toby Jones.   Nominated for an Oscar, it is set in an old cinema in a coastal town in the early 80s and filmed in Margate. www.imdb.com/video/vi4194157849/?ref_=vp_rv_ap_0
