Doynton Village

Real to Reel:

is currently on a sabbatical.

No need to book just show up at the Village Hall in Doynton. There will be no food but we will be opening a bar and serving teas and coffees and perhaps a bit of cake etc. We hope that Reel to Real will take a format a little like a book group with the opportunity to discuss the film afterwards if you like. Of course you can just come for the film and drinks if you like.

Entry will be £4. Any profit will go to the upkeep of the hall. Keep an eye open here for details of Real to Real or send your e-mail address to nick.fryer@southglos.gov.uk to go on the mailing list.

I would also like to invite people to suggest films that we can show in the future. There will be no restriction on what we show, documentary, animation, local, classic, favourite shorts etc. Please come along with some specific ideas of what we can schedule for the rest of the year.

Doynton Big Screen

We are currently on a sabbatical, watch this space for developments.

This is the last show we did : After saying we'd have 2019 off Doynton Big Screen is making a surprise return this month. On Saturday 16th Feb there will be a showing of the brilliant American Animals.

This is a heart-pounding heist movie and a bantering conversation between real life and fiction.

The setting is Lexington, Kentucky, 2004. Two disillusioned students at Transylvania University, Spencer Reinhard and his childhood friend Warren Lipka hatch a plan to steal rare books from the college library. In addition to the actors playing Spencer and Warren, and their two co-conspirators Eric and Chas, the film also deftly juggles interviews with the real members of what must surely be one of the most clueless criminal gangs in history. Here we have a group of movie nerds who prepare by watching Tarantino films and come to believe that the heist is the inciting incident needed to kickstart their own unexceptional lives.

Supremely watchable and surprisingly poignant, American Animals takes its bumbling, hapless frat-rejects and places them in a tightly plotted high-stakes thriller.

As always there will be a pay bar and we'll be serving a delicious three course meal, entry is £7 a head. To book a table and to ensure a ticket please call me on 0117 9372084 / 07870543730Â or email on nfryer6@googlemail.com .

Doors open at 7.15pm on Saturday 16th Feb and the film starts at 8pm.

This screening has been arranged to help support the Norbulingka Institute, founded in 1995 at Sidhpur, near Dharamshala, India. It is dedicated to the preservation of the Tibetan culture in its literary and artistic forms.
