PURBECK FILM FESTIVAL

We are pleased that Briantspuddle Village Hall will
again be one of the venues for the Purbeck Film
Festival 2022. This year’s film will be ‘Operation
Mincemeat’ (certificate 12A) showing on Friday 21
st
October at 7.30pm.
This is a very British film with a strong cast. This unlikely,
but true, story of Naval intelligence convincing the
Germans that the Allies intended to invade Greece
and Sardinia rather than Sicily is very well directed,
skilfully acted and with some very clever special
effects. The film credits the ruse of floating a corpse
with misleading papers to be found by the Germans off the coast of Spain to one
Ian Fleming – who of course went on to create his own entirely fictional spy.
Running through the story of deception are tales of love and loyalty, at an
individual and governmental level. The film is based on the book of the same
name by Ben Macintyre.
The cast includes Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Penelope
Wilton, Simon Russell Beale and Jason Isaacs.
Tickets are £6.50 or £5.00 for students and under 25s. They can be ordered through
the Purbeck Film Festival website – www.purbeckfilm.com. Alternatively contact
me - tel: 01929 472724 or lesley.wilcox2@btinternet.com - and I will see if I can
help. If there are spare tickets you can buy them on the night.
The doors will open at 7.00pm. There will be a bar and teas, coffees and ice
creams will be available in the interval. Do come along to support the Film Festival
and your village hall and see an excellent film.
