Just as the Spring Summer programme came to an end we applied for funding to hold a February Film Fiesta at the Arts Centre in 2011. The application was made to Regional Screen Scotland, and despite excellent feedback we were not successful. However we will still have a superb Spring Summer season which we are already really excited about!
Our Autumn Winter programme is now well underway, and although short is still very very good (slightly biased, but still . . . ). We recently screened The Hurt Locker, and would like to say a huge thank you to the TA who allowed two of their soldiers to come down to the Paisley Arts Centre with their bomb detection kit and show us how it all works in real life. Humbling stuff. Heartfelt thanks to the guys who made it out to us, straight from their shift. You will be in our thoughts when you head back out to Afghanistan soon.
Films we saw over the summer included Inception, The Ghost Writer, the brilliant Toy Story 3, Exit Through The Gift Shop (was it or was it not made by Banksy?), Knight and Day (Cameron and Cruise in full blockbuster mode), The A Team (speaking of blockbusters), Salt (Anjelina Jolie playing a double agent. Or is she?) . . . to name but a few . . .
In the coming weeks we will also be trying to find out a little bit more about what you think of the films on offer at the Paisley Arts Centre, and what you would like to see screened. If you have any thoughts, comments about our programme, the numbers of screenings, timings, what type of films we are showing then please do let us know or get in touch via the webpage.
Hope to see you at a screening soon!
