Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 21st July

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 21st July, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Fabelmans (12)

Directed by Stephen Spielberg and starring Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Gabriel LaBelle and Judd Hirsch.
Running time: 2hrs 31mins.

Already described as Spielberg’s “masterpiece” by some critics, The Fabelmans is one of the big favourites to take home 2023’s Oscar for Best Picture.

Loosely based on Spielberg’s childhood growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, from age seven to eighteen, a young man named Sammy Fabelman, played by Gabriel LaBelle, falls in love with movies after his parents take him to see “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Armed with a camera, Sammy starts to make his own films at home, much to the delight of his supportive mother. He discovers a shattering family secret, and explores how the power of movies help us see the truth about each other and ourselves.
The Fabelmans tells a timeless tale of heartbreak, healing and hope for the dreamer inside all of us.

Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
Film Club members – Free entry
Guests – £4 (cash please)
Refreshments available, including a cash bar.

Full Moon – Friday, 5th May

This month, the Moon will be Full at 18.34hrs on Friday, 5th May.

Frequently referred to as the Flower Moon, other names attributed to this Moon which is full of the promise of summer are:

Leaf Budding Moon
Planting Moon
Egg Laying Moon
Field Making Moon
Frog Moon
Moon Of The Shedding Ponies!

Black Moon is not a well known astronomical term. In recent years, the term has been made popular by social media, astrologers, and followers of the Wiccan religion. It occurs at the time of the New Moon. You cannot see it! The sky is completely dark. A Black Moon frequently is used when the following occur:

2nd New Moon in the same month – the most common type, occurring approximately once every 29 months.
3rd New Moon in a season of four New Moons – occur about once every 33 months.
No New Moon in February – occurring approximately every 19 years. This can only happen in February, as this is the only month which is shorter than a lunar month. When this occurs, both January and March have two New Moons, instead of just one., By this definition, the next Black Moon will occur in 2033,
No Full Moon in February – also occurring approximately every 19 years. In this instance, there are two Full Moons in January and March, also known as a double Blue Moon. The next Black Moon by this definition will occur in 2037, while the last one was in 2018.
