2.  The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

The setting of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas may be grim, but the perspective is a magical piece of cinema. Bruno is the eight-year-old son of a Nazi officer, and the curious eyes and ears of Mark Herman’s gripping story. When his father is promoted from a desk job in Berlin to commanding a death camp in the middle of nowhere, Bruno can’t fathom the sudden frosty tension between his parents, or why he is forbidden to visit the strange “farm” with the electric fences. His secret friendship with an amiable and starving Jewish boy called Shmuel on the other side of the wire has the rhythm of a children’s adventure, spiked by unspeakable adult truths…‘It is one of the most moving and remarkable films about childhood I’ve ever seen’.

Guest tickets can be purchased on the night of the screening at The Windjammer pub in Victoria Street, Dartmouth for £3.60 per film, between 7.30 – 7.55 pm. New members can join at the door on any screening night. For further information contact: Clive Osborne on 079-6802-6449
