Chippenham Film Club is a new club for 2022, formed to bring films to the town that would not normally be seen on the big screen in Chippenham. The club is run by a small group of volunteers, with stewarding provided by the theatre. The films on the programme are all selected by the members, and all are films which have not been shown locally or received wide exposure nationally. The hope is that we can bring people together in a sociable environment, in order that we might enjoy the shared experience of cinema. Films will include low budget British films, limited distribution, art-house films, foreign language films and classic films from the past that deserve to be seen again on the big screen.
