11th September
The 11th brought us another evening of actual film, as opposed to DVD or Blu ray, courtesy of Kevin, who is an avid collector of 16mm shorts and features.
His selection for the evening’s show began with some holiday films from the 1950s, which showed how post-war Britain went to the seaside - usually for just two weeks in summer, weather permitting!
We were next treated to several musical shorts from the 1940s; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers performing one of their immaculate dance routines.
Kevin brought the evening to a close with some more holiday films which featured an obviously wealthy family (they had a car!) from the 1930s; playing tennis and boating on a lake and having a generally spiffing time! I’ve added a selection of images below to give you a flavour of Kevin’s excellent show - as they usually are!
