THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER ARTIST EXHIBITION - CHARLES 'CHARLIE' MINTY
Throughout September and October we will be showcasing the work of Charlie Minty, an internationally acclaimed artist based in Bath.
Renowned for his exquisite paintings, which are held in collections around the world, Charlie's affection for Bath and its stunning architecture began at an early age when he visited the city with his mother.
Charlie enjoys painting all things from life and the excitement of painting in full view of the public at major events.
The exhibition can be seen every Friday evening in our ground floor Waterside Bar between 5:00pm-10:30pm, and at other times when we have public events.
SUNDAY 11TH OCTOBER OFF THE WALL FILMS PRESENTS - DEAF (SORDA)
.png)
Eva Libertad, Spain, 2025, 99m, 12A, sub-titles, F-rated
Doors open 5.30pm
Film starts 6.30pm
In rural Spain Ángela, a hearing-impaired potter, and her hearing husband Héctor are excited about the imminent birth of their first child. As the sense of anticipation grows, Ángela begins to experience deep anxiety about how, if deaf, her child will manage in a hearing world, and how, if hearing, she will relate to her child. The birth of their daughter, whose hearing abilities cannot be determined for some months, triggers a crisis which threatens to tear the couple apart.
A development of her celebrated 2021 short film of the same title, Eva Libertad’s multi award-winning first feature is a deeply empathetic and humane drama which is propelled by a committed and nuanced central performance from Miriam Garlo (the director’s sister, deaf since childhood) as Ángela.

NOVEMBER
SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER OFF THE WALL FILMS PRESENTS -
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC! (At' zije Republika)
Karel Kachyňa, Czechoslovakia, 1965, 134m, 12, sub-titles
Doors open 5.30pm
Film starts 6.30pm
Spring 1945, and the war is ending. In the Moravian village of Nesovice the Nazis are moving out ahead of advancing Soviet forces. 12-yr-old Olda, cruelly nicknamed ‘Midget’, interacts with both sets of militia sometimes on friendly terms and sometimes not, but without any sense of partisanship. He takes things as they come, including the regular beatings from his embittered father and the bullying at the hands of boys from richer families, knowing he has the guile and chops to survive and sustained by the kindness of his mother and of local misfit Cyril. Anyway, he’s more concerned about the theft of his beloved horse Julinka to take much notice of the momentous events swirling around him.
Anyone seeing this film for the first time will surely recognise it as a counterpart to Ken Loach’s Kes, and as an uncelebrated masterpiece of European cinema. Images of astonishing monochrome beauty tumble continuously from the screen as Olda navigates his way through an adult world of chaos and confusion, counteracting reality with an imagination in which he is a mini superhero. Masterfully blending wartime bleakness with Olda’s fond memories and his rich fantasy life, Long Live the Republic! will remain with you long after the lights have come up.
Pre-screening supper available - meat antipasti or vegetarian antipasti
Tickets: £9/£7 (WSC members)
DECEMBER
SUNDAY 13TH DECEMBER OFF THE WALL FILMS PRESENTS -
A READY-WRAPPED MYSTERY (Un film mystérieux)
Doors open 5.30pm
Film starts 6.30pm
Off the Wall Films takes a novel approach for this December and Christmas – a ready-wrapped Mystery Film, with actors, music and credits, featuring good cheer, dusted with glitter and already parked under the tree… But you’ll have to wait until the evening of the screening for the great unwrapping!
To quote Churchill, it’s “…a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”, so you’ll have to keep guessing until the big reveal at 6:30pm on Sunday 13th December. The only person who knows the truth is our OtWF programmer – you can try twisting it out of him, you can try bribes, but he’s used to this sort of thing and is sworn to secrecy! He can guarantee that it’s going to be a great film, but all you can do for now is book your tickets and enjoy the sense of anticipation!
Pre-screening supper available - charcuterie platter or vegetarian quiche.
Tickets: £9/£7 (WSC members)
