In contravention of the laws of physics (or at least the law of popular sayings), I'm going to be in two places at the same time today.
Episode Three of theaardvark's radio show on #LichfieldRadio is on air at 3pm BST at
But thanks to the magic of a home studio and digital music formats, my physical body will be running the Burntwood Afternoon Cinema showing Song Sung Blue.

Spent today running the Burntwood Afternoon Cinema at Burntwood Memorial Institute. We showed Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
It's a little outside our usual fare. Our audience is mostly female and over 70. But you gotta test the water every now and then.
It didn't work. We had 40 in, around half our usual numbers. And some of them really weren't keen. Those that liked it, though, seemed to really enjoy it.

Taken holiday from work today. I'll be spending most of it running the community cinema in #Burntwood that I do every month.
As usual, I've woken up not really in the mood for it. No energy. But I know that, also as usual, seeing people enjoying the film will give me an energy boost like nothing else.
Today we're showing The Salt Path.

Jimmy’s Hall: a blueprint for community resilience in these times?
For host Gareth Evans the reason for this screening in this place, at this time is obvious: Jimmy’s Hall is as much about the Hall – gathering space for a rural community struggling 10 years after the Irish Civil War against the church, state and boredom – as about Jimmy Gralton, the only Irishman to be exiled from the country (Irish President Michael Higgins apologised in 2016). It’s uncommon for a film to focus on a building – which is why it pairs well with The Brutalist – and by bringing this film to a community cinema in a community building, Evans as curator deftly remind us of cinema’s original power, like theatre, stories around campfire: the gathering of a group of strangers to share in something. It was such a welcome and needed reminder.

Does anyone here know anything, or know anyone that knows anything, about digital projectors?
I find myself about to spend £3,000 in one for a community cinema with little knowledge beyond internet searches.
