94 minutes
Filmed over three months in the summer of 2023, independent filmmaker Harvey Marcus tells the story of the amazing 18th Century Hopton’s Almshouse, beside the Thames, and the equally remarkable elderly residents who now find themselves dwarfed by luxury apartments and sky-scraping office blocks, contending with a world that’s changing around them. It’s a film about lost-community and a forgotten generation but also, in the shape of residents like 93 year old yoga teacher, Jenny, and crooner Shamus, 76 years young and still dreaming of pop stardom, Waterloo Sunset is a tale of hope and inspiration, about community for community, and a must-see for audiences young and old.
Described by BBC film critic Jason Solomons as a ‘Gorgeous film full of great characters’, ‘Beautiful and illuminating' by The Telegraph and ‘Myth-dispelling' by The Guardian, Waterloo Sunset is a poignant, moving and uplifting documentary about the trials and tribulations, the joy and the wisdom that comes with growing older in Modern Britain and dealing with modern life.

Excellent venue, interesting choice of films, good choice of refreshments and value for money. Very happy, friendly event. We look forward to coming to Colwall.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.
Audience feedback - Tasley
The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
