Sands Films
CINEMA CLUB
In homage to the programming of Art House Cinemas of a bygone era.
Sands Films runs a small and informal Cinema Club with screenings in our viewing theatre.
The club aims for a better knowledge of the History of World Cinema. Many of the titles shown are seldom seen.
The shows are usually at 21.00 every Tuesday evening.
Membership is free, but you need to join by sending your details (names and e-mail address).
Please click here to send your details and join the club
Each week you will receive an e-mail with the confirmation of the next screening.
There is no "box office", but there is a film can outside the screening room
in which you are invited to put money.
Please note we now have over 1,500 members!

AVAILABLE NOW!!!
For several years, Sands Films Cinema Club has screened film seasons arranged by year of production to place each film in its context. The club’s aim is a better appreciation of film history and to create the opportunity for everyone to discover or revisit films which otherwise would lie dormant, sometimes forgotten.
A new book published by the film club has the same purpose. Written by Dennis Grunes, it is an essential guide to the history of world cinema: it provides an introduction to over a thousand important films arranged chronologically from the birth of Cinema till now. Each film is presented and reviewed in a short, sharp entry and each decade is headed by a longer article with a deeper analysis of outstanding films of that period. The comprehensive index makes this book an excellent starting point for the study of art house film history: it leaves aside many blockbusters and introduces the reader to many little known masterpieces.
