About Letchworth FilmClub
Letchworth FilmClub is proud to sponsor the Coming-of-Age Film Festival at Broadway Cinema, presenting a youth-curated selection of films from the 1960s to the 2020s.
One of FilmClub’s objectives is to ‘bring quality world cinema to the local area’. We see the festival as an additional way for us to realise this goal and nurture the love of film in a wider and younger audience.
Letchworth FilmClub has been screening world cinema in the town for over 35 years. We are an organisation made up of members from the local community. Each year the Committee, made up of volunteers from the membership, schedules a season of 12 films, to be screened at Broadway Cinema between September and June. These 12 films are selected by members from a ballot of around 25 titles provided by the Committee. The voting form lists classic and critically acclaimed, recently released films from around the world that have not been shown locally.
We are very grateful to Broadway Cinema for enabling us to screen our films in the comfort of the cinema and with the support and professionalism of its staff.
