Nuneaton Moviemakers - New Committee
Following the NM AGM, the dream team Alan and Gordon have both decided to step down from Chairman and Accounts. We welcome Angie as the new chair (she refuses to be a Chairman) Joe as Vice Chair, Jackie in for accounts and Alan didn't quite escape, as he is still secretary.
Patrick joins the committee as Programme Secretary and promises a shake-up and a move to more practical evenings.
​
2nd May meeting has been postponed to 9th May due to Local Elections.
See programme for latest links.
​
Thanks to Alan & Gordon for racking up more than 50 years service in the posts between them!

Things to do this week ...
Nuneaton Moviemakers are back for 2024;
1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month at Higham Lane School
Next Meeting in person at Higham Lane school is at 7pm. See you there... Also the subs model is changing, so we're now paying an annual fee; which covers subs, and refreshments.
Members are invited to make a film inspired with the following props - frying pan, a tape measure, a cloth, and some boots, clothing or a hat.
The BBC are dropping a series of workshops and masterclasses for people wanting to get started in technical roles in TV. The ones I've seen so far are in Birmingham and Glasgow and being live streamed. Sign-up for more information.
Bradford Movie Makers recently featured on Storyville Documentary on the BBC, (now on catch-up via iPlayer here). It follows Bradford's highs and lows starting just before covid and picks up after the Covid lockdown period.
They are fortunate enough to have their own club room, but it also needs looking after and upkeep.
The IAC brings you another relaxed, non-competitive evening of short films.
Last Sunday of odd numbered months.
For everyone. For free.
Host: Paul Kittel, FACI & IAC Patron

Midsummer Movie Madness
Midsummer Movie Madness in its newest reincarnation - Midsummer Filmmaking Challenge
organised by the IAC took place last weekend.
The themes titles of "Near Miss" and
Three's a crowd" were kindly provided by guest judge the renowned documentary film maker Michael Slowe.
This is the new home for the rush film-making challenge that used to be held in the Midlands over midsummer's day that met its demise due to Covid.
Happily this new event is open to all, not just us yamyams.
The event has been extended to run Friday night to Sunday afternoon submission and the finished films shown on a showcase Sunday evening, in place of the July IAC open film night.
You can read more about our exploits in the blog ...
We are recruiting ...
Do you want to come along and try film-making? Why not come along and meet us?
In normal circumstances we meet alternate Thursdays at Higham Lane school. Drop us a line and tell us you're interested.
We're back to post-covid normal face-to-face - check out our programme page for the latest details.
