TCC FILM CLUB NEWS
SADLY OUR FILM NIGHT PLANNED FOR FRIDAY 7TH AUGUST HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO HOLIDAYS!
Dear Film Goers,
Our next film night is Friday 4th September 2026 doors open from 7pm, screening 7.30pm.
Please note we do not have allocated seating.
This month’s film is THE CHORAL
THE CHORAL
2025 British Historical Drama
With their choirmaster joining the army, a choral group in the Yorkshire town of Ramsden decides to take a chance on appointing Dr Henry Guthrie as his replacement, despite Guthrie’s homosexuality, Germanophilia and atheism. A brick is thrown through the audition room window with a note stating “Hun muck”, referring to Guthrie and/or the choice of work (an English translation of the St Matthew Passion by German composer Bach). Instead Guthrie proposes Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, which is accepted despite misgivings about the composer’s Catholicism and the work’s inclusion of purgatory.
To supplement the diminishing number of male singers, Guthrie recruits male voices from the nearby military hospital.
Two of the singers start a relationship, as Bella’s sweetheart Clyde is “missing believed dead”.
He arrives back in the town after having his arm amputated, but Bella feels committed to her new young man.
Guthrie receives news of the sinking of the German battleship Pommern and Elgar’s approval almost simultaneously – he is grief-stricken as his lover was a sailor on that battleship…
Run time approx. 113 minutes

SOUND & PROJECTOR SYSTEMS
A New Sound System was installed just before the screening of the June films in 2017. This system is a Surround Sound environment suitable for Dolby 5.1 recordings, and the verdict by regular film club members – ” It is a big improvement I could hear every word!”
A new high resolution projector has now been installed and has significantly improved the cinematic experience using Blu-Ray Recordings
HEARING LOOP
A new hearing loop was installed in April 2015 to improve both audio and visual experience whilst watching films
