St Agnes Community Cinema

The MMI's monthly Community Cinema Night  

This month's showing is ‘The Old Oak’ on Monday 10th of March

The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in northern England, a gathering space for a community that has fallen on hard times. There is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope among the residents, but the pub and its proprietor TJ are a fond presence to their customers. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the floundering village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between the community and its newest inhabitants. The formation of an unexpected friendship between TJ and a young Syrian woman named Yara opens up new possibilities for the divided village in this deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and the difficulty of finding hope.

The bar is open from 7.00pm so refreshments can be purchased before the film starts. There is an interval in the film when drinks and ice-creams can be purchased at the bar. The finish time is usually around 9.30pm dependant on the length of the film.

Entry is by minimum donation of £4 with contactless or cash payment.

As there are limited seats entry will be on a first come first served basis.
