Kilmington Community Cinema
|
Kilmington first film night was in March 2005 with “Vanity Fair” and shown with the support of Moviola’s mobile cinema unit providing all the equipment and projectionist.
Following a successful Crowdfunding appeal, well supported by the Village Community, Local Clubs, Parish Council, EDDC and DCC, Kilmington Community Cinema (KCC) open their independently run film nights with “23 Walks” on the 9th June 2021. All profit from the film shows goes to the Village Hall and following the opening of the KCC in June 2021 up to December 2024 we have raised a total of £8,771 for the Halls maintenance fund through the support of our audiences and volunteers. The KCC is a run by volunteers. |

The Ballad Of Wallis Island (12)
Wednesday 10th December & Thursday 11th December (Matinee)
When folk musician Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) arrives on the remote, sea-swept Wallis Island, he believes he’s coming to play an intimate gig for a few fans. In reality, the concert is for one man: Charles (Tim Key). Charles is a two-time lottery winner living on an English estate, and he’s a massive fan of Herb’s former folk duo: McGwyer & Mortimer. He owns their guitars, press clippings, and a few other items. As you’d expect, his fandom makes Herb queasy. Nevertheless, the growth of their awkward friendship massages the sweet pulse of this delightful film.
When Herb arrives at Wallis Island, he does so by motorboat. The island doesn’t have a dry dock, so Herb must wade through the cold sea to shore. Charles comes to greet him with a mini dry white board, but he doesn’t provide much help. Wallis Island doesn’t have hotels or stadiums or stores. In fact, it barely has people. What’s introduced to Herb as Wallis Lodge is actually Charles’ house. The one shop, owned by an adorable Amanda (Sian Clifford), never has anything in stock. While the script provides plenty of punchlines around these locales.
Herb isn’t impressed with the Island but thinks he can tough it out, if only to get paid. That is until he sees his retired bandmate and estranged girlfriend Nell (Carey Mulligan) arriving with her new husband Michael (Akemnji Ndifornyen) to perform too. Charles desperately wants to see the two together again, even if it reopens old wounds for the two musicians.
The director James Griffith’s “The Ballad of Wallis Island” is a sublime, adorable comedy whose roots can be traced to a short Griffith made eighteen years ago. This elongated version, written by the film’s stars: Basden and Key—never gives a hint of its modest origin. The film bewitches you with its seemingly spontaneous humour, a cadre of original soulful folk tunes, and its adoration of the breath-taking surroundings.
