Films of Yesteryear-Archive Film Show
Thursday 4th March, 2010 at Deben High School-Garrison Lane, Felixstowe
The Rotary Club of Felixstowe Landguard is planning a fourth of its popular archive film shows, using material from the East Anglian Film Archive, based at the University of East Anglia.
Footage not seen at any of the previous shows will be presented and will focus on the local Felixstowe scene, with other films of general interest from further afield in East Anglia. The programme will incorporate film from the early 1900s to 1972, including films from the 1930s and WW2 years.
The films on Felixstowe will include: Felixstowe beagles (1913) – an eventful day’s sport with the local pack; Felixstowe Holiday (1933); Felixstowe Air Base (1935) and Growth Port (1972) – with a potted history from 1875 to 1951 and subsequent development through to 1972.
Other films from East Anglia will include The Horsey Mail (1938) – how the local mail gets through despite the 1938 floods; Women’s Page by Ursula Bloom (1950s Frinton) – how the motor car made modern woman’s life easier with regard to home life and leisure; Crown of the Year (1942) – the harvesting process on a farm in East Norfolk, using some horse drawn machinery; Target for Tonight (1943) – air operations at Mildenhall with the story of ‘F for Freddie’, and Women’s Fire Service Norwich (1914).
(Note: Film substitution or addition may be necessary to maintain the timing and duration of the advertised programme).
Doors will open at 7.15pm with the show commencing at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday 4th March, at Deben High School, Garrison Lane, Felixstowe. A licensed bar will be available for wine and soft drinks
Admission is £6.50, concessions £6, children under 12 £4.50. Due to seating limitations, tickets must be purchased in advance from Rotarians Peter Downes for enquiries from the Felixstowe area (tel: 01394 277137), or from John Weaver for the Woodbridge area (tel: 01393 380625).

Proceeds, as well as supporting the Film Archive, will go to the Rotary Club’s charity fund, used to assist many local, national and international good causes.
