Sunday night at the movies
Parbold residents flocked to the Village Hall on Sunday night to see Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire.
The Parbold Community Association showed the film as part of its preview season to establish the Village Hall as Parbold Picture House. The film was only the second one to be shown in Parbold after The Godfather Part 1 on 22 November, and many residents took the opportunity to experience the film in a cinema-like atmosphere for only £3.
As the Picture House, Parbold’s village hall has the charm of an old-fashioned, small-town movie theatre. The walls are covered in red curtains, and the seating capacity can easily be adjusted to fit everyone in, so that nobody has to miss out.
It does make a nice change to see a movie and not have to sit through half an hour of commercials and previews beforehand. The advice to switch your mobile phones off does not come from a audio-recording, but from the man in the back, who’s responsible for the smooth running of the show. Although there were a few technical glitches during the showing, like the screen going blank, they were soon back under control and the Community Association apologised sincerely for the problems.
To give the community exactly what it wants, the association asks for feedback and film suggestions of all customers. Instead of going for the latest releases, the Picture House will show classics and its audiences’ favourite films.
The next screenings at Parbold’s newly established Picture House will be It’s a Wonderful Life on Sunday 20 December.at 7pm and The Muppets Christmas Carol on Monday 28 December at 3pm.
