Marvellous Musicals Our tribute to the art of musicals continues in this programme with two
classics; You Were Never Lovelier on Thursday 25th Jan and Moulin Rouge on Friday 9th February. You Were Never Lovelier
starring Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth was made in 1942: another era not unlike this one when people wanted to forget
what was going on around them. Fans of Strictly will be pleased to see some latin numbers in this film, Astaire explores
Rumba and Samba, and then livens things up even more with some Swing and Jive numbers as well. This may not be one of
the best known musicals but it promises to deliver all that a person could want from the genre.
Baz Lurhman’s Moulin Rouge is like taking a bottle of champagne that has been shaken up – it fizzes all over the place! It’s
the most exhilarating party ever, breathtakingly baroque this larger than life movie will have you booking a weekend in Paris
the moment you leave the cinema!

Welcome to our Winter Programme
No6 is delighted to encourage young talent wherever and
whenever we can. In the last programme we screened a
number of short films before our main features from the
Random Acts Collection: shorts made by young artists and
film-makers, with the backing and support of Channel 4, BFI

some short films made by filmmaker, James Cummings
a recent graduate of Portsmouth Uni. He has made us
some delightful ‘Code of Conduct’ shorts which we will be
screening before some of our films. We know that the No.6
audience needs no reminders to turn off their phones or not
to scrunch sweet wrappers etc... but hey, the odd wayward
person sometimes comes along!

We also welcome contributions to our ‘News’ blog on the
website. Any young writers wishing to hone their writing
skills a piece (film themed obviously, no longer than 500
words and accompanied by a picture) let us have it and we
will endeavour to publish it.

                                                               Sat 3 Feb at 19:00

Looking forward to our next programme we will be featuring
