Our Next Presentation: Starless Dreams
THE CRAMPHORN THEATRE, CHELMSFORD – Monday 4th December @ 8PM
This documentary focuses on the lives of girls in a juvenile delinquency centre in Iran. Although they are being punished for a variety of ‘crimes’, most have drug addicts in their families, have been mentally and physically abused and are really only guilty of being born in the wrong place. There are moments of joy, however, for them to savour and they are unflinchingly direct and open in their responses to the director’s questions. (Read more…)
Adam King Short Films
As “Starless Dreams” is only 76 minutes long, Chelmsford Film Club are taking the opportunity to show 2 films by a young local film maker, Adam King. Both films are only 2-3 minutes long and we hope Adam will be here to introduce both films. Though short, both films are very imaginative and we hope you will enjoy!

A smash hit in Sweden last year and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, this is an irresistible adaptation of Fredrik Backman’s bestselling novel. Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door, an isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse. When a new, young family moves in next door a story of great humanity, tenderness and, above all, humour develops: look for the long-running car joke!
