Benedikt Erlingsson, Iceland, 2018, 101m, 12A, sub-titles
The uneventful routines of cycling cheerily around Reykjavik, practising Tai-Chi and leading the local choir disguise 50-yr-old Halla’s hidden life as ‘The Woman of the Mountain,’ a passionate environmental activist waging a war against the local aluminium industry. She cleverly and consistently outwits the authorities and as her actions grow bolder, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminium smelter. But, just as she begins planning her biggest and boldest operation yet, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything.
Tickets: £9/£7 (WSC members)

Charlie enjoys painting all things from life and the excitement of painting in full view of the public at major events.

We’re marking 70 years since Rock Around the Clock was first shown in Bath at The Forum on Sunday 2 September 1956. “There was jiving and shouting at the Forum Cinema, Bath, last night during the performance of this film, but no police action was necessary” (Bath Chronicle 3 September). People clapped! Tapped their feet! Jived in the aisles! Come and rock’n’roll and see what all the fuss was about (but no bad behaviour on this occasion, please). Hand-jiving encouraged.

ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK
Doors Open - 5:30pm
Film Starts - 6:30pm
Michaelangelo Antonioni, Italy, 1955, 104m, A, sub-titles
Having gained experience and confidence in Rome, Clelia, from a poor family, returns to her native Turin to set up a fashion salon. On her first night, a woman in the neighbouring hotel room, Rosetta, nearly dies after overdosing on pills. Sympathising, Clelia takes Rosetta under her wing and meets three of her girl friends, Momina, Nene and Mariella. All are rich and materially successful, although lead complicated love lives. With the cynical Momina attempting to orchestrate manoeuvres, the women try to make sense of the tangled web of emotions and motivations afforded by modern, affluent, post-industrial, urbanite living.
