FIRST WORLD WAR ON FILM - Pencombe parish hall, November 19, 7.30pm. Admission £4, 01885 400611.
2014 marks one hundred years since the outbreak of the First World War. This evening of rare archive film, not just the 'wallpaper' seen so often on television, will examine the war from the films that have survived. Film itself was a new invention and the pictures we have are sometimes shaky and faded but capture something of the madness of trench life and film used as propaganda. We will examine some of those war stories: all from a filmic point of view, including fragment showing the Herefordshire Regiment itself in 1914. For several months eight volunteers have been looking at films in the archive, many of which haven't been seen for decades. They have been cataloguing these films and the best of those discovered will be
used during the evening.
