Nantwich Family Films @ 4 has been named runner-up in the “community” category at the National Film Society Awards 2015.
The film project was awarded a distinction for its work in engaging the local community, and working with a local primary school where pupils made their own short films.
It’s the latest in a series of accolades for the project, run from the Methodist Church on Hospital Street, Nantwich.
Geoff Etherton, the project’s co-ordinator, said: “We are overwhelmed to be runners up and be awarded a distinction at the National Film Society Awards.
“Our team of volunteers works incredibly hard to provide somewhere local and low cost where families can watch films on the big screen.
“This award recognises that work at a national level, in engaging both audience and volunteers from the local community, for making a difference in the town, and in our collaborative work, especially with local schools.
“We narrowly lost out to a great film society from Northern Ireland, so I think that makes us the best community film society in England!”
The project was praised for its work in making a difference in the local community, in engaging volunteers from the local community, and their work with Wyche Primary School.
The next screening is on Sunday October 18 when the film will be ‘Inside Out’.
Family tickets cost £10 (£4 individual tickets) and are available in advance from Nantwich Civic Centre, Nantwich Bookshop and online through the project Facebook page as well as on the door.
