Sunset Boulevard at Warkworth Town Hall

The Warkworth Town Hall will be holding a free screening of the classic noir film Sunset Boulevard at 2.30pm on Sunday, November 17.

The screening is to thank Warkworth resident and film buff Barry Ferguson for his donation of a projector screen and sub-woofer.

Sunset Boulevard is Barry’s favourite film, and he will be there to regale audiences about the time he met leading lady Gloria Swanson for dinner in Sweden.

Signed copies of Barry’s book, Flowers are my Passport, will be available for purchase to raise funds for the Town Hall.

Hall coordinator Alex Hayward says the idea is to form a film society and to show a range of movies on a monthly basis.

On Saturday, November 23 at 7pm, the Town Hall will host a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and attendees are invited to dress up in theme.

Tickets are $25, available from Mahurangi Matters or at warkworthtownhall.nz.
