Good news, we have secured funding from Manchester City Council's Cash Grants to continue Rusholme Film Club for another season. The grant provides funding for room-hire, a new larger screen and purchase of films.
The film season will run October 2013 - April 2014, monthly, 5.30-8pm:
20th October, 17th November, 15th December, 19th February, 16th March, 20th April
So what would you like to see? Please let me have your ideas.
