2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D Day and, following the extracts shown at the Exercise Tiger weekend, we are offering another chance to watch Ian Phillip’s compelling film ‘Evacuation’ in full.

It tells the story of the around 3000 residents of Slapton & the surrounding villages who had to evacuate their homes for the American troops involved in Exercise Tiger, the ill-fated Allied rehearsal for the D-Day landings. The film contains fascinating footage of archive film and interviews with people who were children at the time. They had to evacuate their homes with six weeks’ notice, leaving before Christmas and taking all their possessions and livestock with them

A complimentary glass of wine will be served after the screening with the opportunity to speak to others about the film and its significance.

Friday 22 November, 5.30pm

Tickets £14 (to include a complimentary glass of wine or soft drink after the screening)

Girl From The North Country

Girl From The North Country reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan as they’ve never been heard before, including “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” and “Like A Rolling Stone.”

It’s 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota. We meet a group of wayward travellers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life and hope. Experience this 'profoundly beautiful' Broadway production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company of actors and musicians.

Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson and featuring Tony Award-winning orchestrations by Simon Hale.

LEE

tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price. The film is not a biopic, instead it explores the most significant decade of Lee Miller’s life. As a middle-aged woman, she refused to be remembered as a model and male artists’ muse. Lee Miller defied the expectations and rules of the time and travelled to Europe to report from the frontline. There, in part as a reaction to her own well-hidden trauma, she used her Rolleiflex camera to give a voice to the voiceless. What Lee captured on film in Dachau and throughout Europe was shocking and horrific. Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the Second World War. She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.

There is a Talkfilm Event before the film, more details here : Talkfilm@TheFlavel

U3A Classics: A History of Greek Art in 10 Favourites

Presented by Peter Ireland

A selection of Greek artworks, all personal favourites, some very familiar, from the 6th to the 2nd C BC, which demonstrate the virtuosity of ancient craftsmen.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

“Extraordinary” ★★★★ Sunday Independent “Sun dappled footage of heaven on earth” The Observer "Wonderful…An inspiring true story that shows how we can revive nature and restore hope" Patrick Barkham, The Guardian "Nature is healing in this soul-enhancing, hopeful ode to the British countryside" ★★★★ Time Out "Visually stunning... a life enhancing experience" ★★★★ The Arts Desk ★★★★ The Daily Mail ★★★★ The Irish Independent ★★★★ Gardens Illustrated “Filled to the brim of joy, wonder and hope” “A lyrical hymn to the self-healing of the English countryside.” — Dog and Wolf
