Saffron Screen’s Polish Film Festival emerged from a discussion in spring 2014 (on the Bartlow Three Counties walk) between our Programming Manager, Rebecca del Tufo, and Gosia Rozmyslowicz who has programmed this festival.

One of our members of staff, Lee Hollins, came to watch Dior and I at Saffron Screen last night. Here’s his report:

Whilst it might have been just another Monday night in Saffron Walden, had there been paparazzi or fashion photographers about they would have captured the glamorous stream of cinema goers leaving the recent showing of ‘Dior & I’.

We have plenty of award nominees and winners to watch this programme, beginning with our recommended film for March, Whiplash. There are terrific films throughout March and April, including Ex Machina, A Most Violent Year, Kingsman, Trash, the eagerly anticipated Selma, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Still Alice starring Best Actress Oscar-winner Julianne Moore.

There was fierce competition for the best costume prize at Saffron Screen’s special Halloween screening of The Little Vampire during half term. In the end, Rafferty was judged to be the winner, with Barnaby coming a close second.

You may have noticed that, thanks to Saffron Tickets, we have now upgraded our booking system to make it quicker and easier for you to book.

Acclaimed director and BAFTA winner, Bruce Goodison and actor Yasmin Mwanza, will visit Saffron Screen on Monday 14 July following a screening of their film, Leave to Remain.

Our July/August listings are now available and the trailers are on our You Tube channel.

Tickets will be available via the TIC and Box Office next week and will be available on our website shortly after.

In the first ever broadcast of an exhibition by the Tate art gallery group, Henri Matisse’s: The Cut Outs will hit the big screen at Saffron Screen on Saturday 7^th June.

Saffron Screen will celebrate its 8^th birthday by screening Irish drama Run & Jump on its opening weekend as a mark of support for outstanding independent cinema.

Saffron Screen will next week screen local student film, The Detained, followed by British comedy-drama Son of Rambow in a project that is sponsored by the Royal Opera House Bridge and made in partnership with Saffron Screen and Doko Films.
