The Film Club this Tuesday features 1917, directed by Sam Mendes.

The film takes place after the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line during Operation Alberich, and follows two British soldiers, Will Schofield (George MacKay) and Tom Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman), in their mission to deliver an important message to call off a doomed offensive attack. The production is noted for its long takes and elaborately choreographed moving camera shots to give the effect of two continuous takes.

The screening is on Tuesday 15th at 7pm at The Village Institute.
