Hope and Glory (1987) - 35mm Film Screening

About the Film:

Hope and Glory is John Boorman’s Oscar-nominated story of a boy growing up in London during the Blitz. Blending humour, poignancy, and rich period detail, it captures both the hardships and moments of joy during WWII. Seen through the innocent eyes of a child, this British classic remains one of the most heartfelt depictions of wartime Britain. Screening on 35mm celebrating 80 years of Victory in Europe, this is a moving tribute to resilience and memory.

Our screenings start at 7pm sharp and we don’t run adverts or trailers, so we recommend arriving 15–20 minutes early. This gives you plenty of time to find a seat (all seating is first come, first served) and enjoy a drink from the bar before the show begins.

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE A CASHLESS VENUE, AND ONLY ACCEPT CARD PAYMENTS

Halfway through the film we take a short intermission while the film reels are changed over. It’s the perfect chance to discuss the film so far, top up your glass at the bar, and treat yourself to some delicious Caroline’s Dairy ice cream, served by our wonderful usherettes.

Because we’re showing these films from often original 35mm and 16mm prints which are over 50 years old, so the occasional pause in running can happen if a reel needs adjusting. If it does, rest assured our projectionist will have things running again in no time, it’s all part of the authentic analogue experience!

While many of our films are rated as family-friendly, we don’t recommend bringing infants or very young children. The soundtracks on older film prints, combined with the natural acoustics of our hall, can sometimes feel a little overwhelming for little ears.
