The Progressive Film Club is a voluntary organisation that has been established to show progressive films—in the broadest sense of that term—from all over the world.

Showings are on Sunday evenings at the New Theatre in East Essex Street. Booking through Connolly Books—or come early to avoid disappointment. read full story / add a comment
