June 2023
Kerry has proposed three films (see below) for us to watch this month (see below). Nominations have now closed and out of 17 people who voted, 17 people voted for Amal. Quite a clear-cut decision and enough to make you think that those elections in North Korea may not have been rigged after all!
- Location: Spirit of Life Yoga, Lefktron
- Date: Saturday, 24th June
- Time: 20:30 for a 21:00 start.
This month we will be showing the film outside – so please make sure you have insect repellent and something warm to wear for later in the evening. We will ask for a €2 contribution to defray the cost of wine and nibbles (see below).
When the film ends those who wish to leave can do so, but for those who would like to stay and discuss the film we will rearrange the chairs and provide wine and nibbles to ensure a convivial atmosphere for discussion underneath the stars.

- Date: Saturday, 27th May

19:00 onwards for a 19:30 start.
We had to purchase the DVD of the film (the version available on YouTube is unsuitable for watching on the silver screen) and so we shall be asking for a €2 contribution to defray the cost.
A discussion about the film has often been mooted but has proved difficult to arrange. On this occasion we propose to have a five minute break at the end of the film. Those who wish to leave can do so during the break, but for those who would like to stay and discuss the film we will rearrange the chairs and provide wine and nibbles to ensure a convivial atmosphere for discussion.

Andrea and Mario have proposed three films (see below) for us to watch this month. Nominations have now closed and the selection is … V for Vendetta, which won by a single vote over both The Duellists and The Lives of Others.
- Location: Carol & Jayne’s House, Agios Nikolaos (see below).
- Date: Saturday, 25th March
- Time: 19:00 onwards for a 19:30 start.
After last month’s great success – Babette’s Feast – many people expressed a desire to discuss the film, after some time for overnight reflection. So this month as an optional extra we can meet for an after-film discussion the following morning at 10:30 at Hades in Agios Nikolaos.
Carol & Jayne’s house is directly opposite Vrahos Apartments and immediately next to Stephanou Inn in Agios Nikolaos. It’s the new house, set back about 40 metres from the road. Parking is limited, so please use one of the car parks in the village: it’s only a 2 minute walk. You are welcome to bring drinks and nibbles, but please ensure that you take any rubbish back home with you.
