Screen25, the freshly re-branded film club in South Norwood, has put together another fascinatingly eclectic selection of movies to start 2018.

Opening with the blockbuster that is Dunkirk, January’s screenings, now all at the new home of Harris Academy South Norwood, the club has also lined up Ai Wei Wei’s examination of modern-day refugees, Human Flow, and the rom-com, The Big Sick.

The screening of the though-provoking I Am Not A Witch on January 17 will be followed by a panel discussion – the latest in a series arranged by Screen25, this one staged in conjunction with the charity AFRUCA, Africans United Against Child Abuse.

The Screen25 new ticket pricing scheme is in place, with no booking fees to pay.

And Inside Croydon sponsors get a £2 discount off their tickets when they book using the unique code.
