Film enthusiasts can enjoy a season of nine films from Australia, the USA, Italy, Finland, and the UK.

The first film of the season will be A Fantastic Woman, a Chilean drama about a transgender woman whose life is thrown into turmoil following the sudden death of her boyfriend.

Film society membership costs £30 for all nine films. People can also pay £5 on the night for guest tickets.

Society secretary Jon Liddle: “It’s brilliant that we have such a great local cinema as The Island here in St Annes, and together, with the support of the membership and guests, we will hopefully be around for another 70 years.”
