SPACE WEEKEND at St Nicks
Get ready to boogie the night away!
A weekend of fun to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the release of Star Wars
Thur 18th Feb at 7 pm – CINEMA CLUB
“Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy” (1968)
Screening of the seminal Barbarella, starring Jane Fonda as the title character, a space traveler and representative of the United Earth government sent to find scientist Dr. Durand Durand, who has created a weapon that could destroy humanity.
“Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy” was based on the French comic series, and upon its release, it was perceived as something entirely unserious and parodic. But the film, directed by French Svengali Roger Vadim and made for peanuts, has an odd staying power: Many of its scenes are memorable the way a Mozart melody is. By the early 2000s, Barbarella had attained the status of a cult movie. The New York Times called Barbarella “the most iconic …goddess of the ’60s”. Barbarella may seem “quaint” to modern audiences but its imagery has echoed for years in pop culture. Barbarella’s costumes influenced Jean-Paul Gaultier’s designs in The Fifth Element, and Gaultier noted Paco Rabanne’s metallic dress that was worn by Jane Fonda. New wave band Duran Duran taking its name from the film’s antagonist.
This screening is preceded by an optional fish & chip supper from the Fish Shop in Roughton (or bring your own food) that will be delivered at 7pm, the screening will start around 7:20pm.

SPACE WEEKEND – EXHIBITION at St Nicks
Fri 19th Feb, 10am – 4pm: Star Wars exhibition with over 100 exhibits.
50 years ago, in cinemas not too far away, a film made its debut on the silver screen that not only changed the landscape of the movie industry but also heavily influenced popular culture. Initially given a limited theatrical run upon its original US release, Star Wars made its maiden voyage on the big screen on Wednesday, 25 May 1977, showing in just 32 movie theatres. By August, the film was playing in more than 1,000 picture houses across the United States. After unprecedented success stateside, the box office blockbuster finally premiered in the UK on 27 December 1977.
The Star Wars movies were a true global phenomenon in every conceivable sense, with a lasting impact on not only cinema as we know it today but also pop culture around the world.
We are proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the original Star Wars film by hosting an exhibition of film memorabilia, featuring over 100 items. The space bar will be serving galactic refreshments!

Royal Opera House in Cinema
Mozart’s COSI FAN TUTTE – Thur Feb 25th 7pm
Spurred on by a bet, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality, where truth becomes increasingly unstable.
Così fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative, and resolutely modern, themes at the heart of the opera.
Pre-booked tickets (£15) can be collected on the door.
Please feel free to bring cushions!
The screening is brought to you by the Trunch Group of Parishes.

CINEMA CLUB: THE JAZZ AMBASSADORS – Saturday March 6th, 7pm
An evening with film director Hugo Berkeley and composer Michael McEvoy
In 1955, as the Soviet Union’s pervasive propaganda about the U.S. and American racism spread globally, African-American Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. convinced President Eisenhower that jazz was the best way to intervene in the Cold War cultural conflict. For the next decade, America’s most influential jazz artists, including Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Dave Brubeck, along with their racially-integrated bands, traveled the globe to perform as cultural ambassadors.
But the unrest back home forced them to face a painful moral dilemma: how could they promote the image of a tolerant America abroad when the country still practiced Jim Crow segregation and racial equality remained an unrealized dream? Told through striking archival film footage, photos and radio clips, with iconic performances throughout, the documentary reveals how the U.S. State Department unwittingly gave the burgeoning Civil Rights movement a major voice on the world stage just when it needed one most. Leslie Odom, Jr., narrates.
The Jazz Ambassadors is a co-production of THIRTEEN Productions LLC for WNET and Antelope South Limited and Normal Life Pictures, in association with the BBC and ZDF, in collaboration with Arte.
Pre-booked tickets (£10) can be collected on the door.
All proceed from the ticket sales will be donated to St-Nicks Arts Centre renovation fund (Trunch Group of Parishes)
