Hello film fans, I’m Kris Grainger, podcast producer and your host for this latest episode of the Eccleshall Community Cinema Podcast. I’m here to bring you news of our next screening, H is for Hawk.
Before we go any further, I think we should just take a moment to celebrate a momentous landmark. No, i’ve not cleaned the bathroom, but it’s the podcast’s 1-year anniversary, so Happy Birthday to us! It’s been a great year, and long may we continue!
Coming up this month we are screening H is for Hawk by director Phillipa Lowthorpe. It stars Claire Foy (known for roles in Wolf Hall, The Crown, and First Man). After the sudden death of her father, Helen Macdonald is overwhelmed by grief. She struggles with depression and withdrawal from ordinary life.To cope, she decides to train a goshawk, a wild and notoriously difficult bird of prey. The goshawk she acquires is called Mabel. Like Hamnet, the film’s theme touches on grief, but also like Hamnet, it is also about coping and psychological recovery. It is about the activities we undertake to make life bearable, to find meaning, and to find acceptance. It promises to be an uplifting experience.
We'll also update you on our traditional July semi-outdoor screening with optional fancy dress.
For more information on the screening, please check out our Facebook page, “Eccleshall Community Cinema Club”.
The date for your diary is Thursday 25th June at 7:30pm, upstairs at The Royal Oak on Eccleshall High Street. Tickets for H is for Hawk are £5—that’s a hawk-some deal!
