The silent movie at Regatta 2019 was a new and very well attended event.
Well done to Beer Film Society - we hope you win!Beer Film Society has made the short list for the Cinema For All 2020 Film Society of the Year awards on Saturday 19th September - the community cinema ‘Oscars’. 🥳
We are one of six nominees for the Best Single Event category following the successful silent movie night last summer. The event was a sell-out success prompting the society for the first time in its 14-year-history to enter it into the annual awards.
“It is fantastic news that we have made the short list for these prestigious awards,” said Chairman Kevin Fahey. “To be honest we weren’t sure what to expect having never entered before but on the basis that you have to be in it, to win it, then we decided to give it a go.
And it once again vindicates our decision to go ahead with the silent move night during the annual Beer Regatta last summer. That was a fabulous night.”
With the support of Beer Regatta, the Friends of Beer Wurlitzer and the Beer Congregational Church the society staged an hour of silent movies featuring Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton accompanied by live music from Britain’s oldest working Wurlitzer played by the renowned Trevor Bolshaw, who lives in Honiton.
“It was a great team effort not just by our committee but lots of other people from the other organisations involved in the village,” added Kevin.
“Let’s be honest, now we have made the short-list wouldn’t it be great if we won it! But whatever the outcome it is nice to think we have put Beer Film Society on the map.”
