THE EGERTON FILM SOCIETY

Click here for forthcoming screenings
Established in 2000 and showing its first film in January 2001, the Egerton Film Society is open to anyone over the age of sixteen. The current ticket price is £6 per film. An annual season ticket is available in January each year covering all 12 films for £60. Screenings are usually held on the last Thursday in the month (except July and August), with occasional special screenings and lectures at other times. A licensed bar is available at each performance. Our films are shown in the Egerton Millennium Hall using high-quality widescreen Blu-Ray/DVD video projection and Dolby EX 5.1 Surround Sound. Annual Season Ticket holders and members of the public can be admitted to the film screenings, subject to the discretion of the Committee. Programmes are published and circulated to all on the Film Society database twice each year. All who wish to do so receive the e-mail programme and reminders about the current month’s film. Contact pat.parr@sky.com to receive the programmes and reminders.

The Society is run in association with the Egerton Computer Centre by a Committee which is elected at the Annual General Meeting, usually held in September. For membership applications enquiries, telephone Richard King on 01233 756592

We always welcome new volunteers, to help with setting up the hall, manning the bar, putting up posters (particularly if you live somewhere other than Egerton) and assisting with clerical and technical duties. Thanks to everyone who helps with this already. Do, please, come along (and volunteer, if you can), for we really do need your help and support for the Egerton Film Society to continue to flourish. We look forward to seeing you.

Thursday 24 September 2026 (AGM)
7pm for 7:30pm
I Swear (2025)

Written and directed by Kirk Jones, this frank, funny and touching story is based on the life of Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson.
Robert Aramayo deservedly won the BAFTA Best Actor Award for his exceptional portrayal of Davidson, who grew up in 1980s Scotland and was diagnosed with Tourette’s at a time when the condition was little known and generally misunderstood. Uplifting and inspirational, laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving, and potentially life-changing, I Swear captures the challenges Davidson faced whilst also celebrating the impact of both supportive friends and community along the way.
Please note, as the first film of the new season, a brief AGM (typically under 10 minutes) will precede the screening.

Adapted from the memoir by Helen Macdonald, the film follows Helen (Claire Foy) who, after the sudden death of her father (Brendan Gleeson),loses herself in the memories of their time birdwatching and exploring the natural world together.
She turns to the ancient art of falconry and decides to train a wild goshawk named Mabelto navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own
emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.
