The Film Club returns to the Arrupe Hall this month following a full house at January’s screening of La Vita Bella, previously held in the smaller Bellarmine Room.

Filmed against the striking coastal scenery of Pembrokeshire in Wales, the film stars Tom Basden (After Life, Plebs, Ghosts), Carey Mulligan (An Education, Saltburn, Maestro), and Tim Key (Inside No. 9, Alan Partridge, See How They Run).

All are warmly invited to attend for an enjoyable evening of film and conversation!
