The Full Circle project has been able to digitise this old reel of cinefilm at MACE to show to members of the local community. If anyone has any cinefilm or home-movies relating to their local community or the wider Midlands area please bring them along! Lucie says: "Community film screenings like this are great places for people to revel in nostalgia.

Places are limited - so if people are interested they need to contact Leicester Movie Makers to reserve a seat."

Leicester Movie Makers meet every Thursday, September to May, at 7.30pm, at the civic centre, Kingsway, Braunstone Town. The group have practical workshops, guest speakers, competitions and make films.
