This is the
Chiltern Film Society website. The prime aim of the Chiltern Film
Society
is to bring to all with an interest in cinema the opportunity to enjoy
the best of international films. These are specially selected by the
society's members as having outstanding merit and interest. You can use this web site to find information about our current and previous programmes of films, latest Film Society news, membership discounts and cinema facilities. You do not need to be a member of Chiltern Film Society to attend the programme of films showing at the Elgiva, but non-members must pay the standard Elgiva film prices. Note that our membership entitles members to attend the evening performance of the selected films on the stated dates, and not any additional performances that may be arranged by the Elgiva. |
This Season's films... Chesham Fairtrade Fortnight... Chesham will be celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight 2008 by holding the first ever Chiltern Fairtrade Film Festival at the Elgiva Theatre, Chesham. The Festival, held on the 3rd and 4th March, brings you a selection of films designed to raise questions about how to be a consumer with a conscience. The festival kicks off on Monday 3rd March with a matinee screening (1 pm) of Black Gold, featuring an Ethiopian campaign to save 74,000 coffee farmers from bankruptcy. At 8 pm you can see An Inconvenient Truth – the controversial film on global warming that won its presenter, Al Gore, the Nobel Prize. Both films will be followed by panel discussions on the films’ issues. On Tuesday 4th March at 1 pm, Blood on the Stone will be introduced by a member of the film’s production team. This personal documentary traces the horrific violence fuelled by the diamond trade, but also offers hope of a solution. The festival closes with the George Clooney thriller, Michael Clayton, showing at 8 pm. This blockbuster explores the dilemmas of representing the interests of corrupt big business. Standard film prices apply, or you can buy a £16 ticket (£12 concession) to see all four films. To find out more, contact the Elgiva box office on 01494 582900, email boxoffice@elgiva.com or see www.elgiva.com. There will be a display of Fairtrade produce at the Elgiva by Waitrose, one of the festival’s sponsors, to offer a taste of what’s available locally. The festival is also sponsored by Hawkes Design & Publishing. Millipedia – ethical multimedia donated their time and expertise to re-design and set-up the Chesham Fairtrade web site. |
