FILM MOSAIC RETURNS
After a 3-year absence from your screens, FILM MOSAIC returns to its new home on Stanmore Hill.
For those of you who are new to FILM MOSAIC, it was an idea that started over 10 years ago at our old home in Bessborough Road. I have always love films and was amazed at the sheer number and variations of movies, old and new, that had, in one way or another, a Jewish connection. So, I started showing any manner of movies at Bessborough Road, which were already in my collection, or I could acquire.
They ranged from, Documentaries like “Imaginary Witness” and “Paper Clips”, to Comedies like “Mel Brooks – To be or Not to be”, to Dramas like “Gentlemens Agreement” and “To Kill a Mockingbird”. They included foreign films like the Israeli Sumo movie “Size Matters” and “Ushpizim”. Any movie that has a Jewish connection is up for consideration, as long as the foreign ones had subtitles!
The idea is that anyone who is interested, can come along, meet other like-minded fans, discuss the movie, and even have a biscuit or two with a drink.
There is no entrance fee, but if anyone, enjoys the film and cares to make a donation afterwards (no matter the size), to our nominated charity, then that is appreciated. Up until we stopped because of the Pandemic, we raised about £3,000 for various causes.
FILM MOSAIC will be held mid-monthly, on Mondays, from May onwards. I will be showing some new movies as well re-showing some of the golden oldies first shown a few years ago.
Details of forthcoming attractions can be found below.

This tense espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel Singer (Dame Helen Mirren) and Stephan Gold (Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David Peretz (Ciarán Hinds). All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of the mission that they undertook back in 1965, when the trio (Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas, and Sam Worthington) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel in East Berlin. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished–or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations.
