August's film is a very unique and special event - a community-made film by the people of Edale, featuring a Q&A from the filmmakers!

In the fictional, sleepy village of Stone, where ‘change’ and the modern world are alien concepts to its residents, the daily village goings-on are derailed by an existential threat that will require the community to pull together and risk it all if it wants to survive. With local jobs drying up, fewer and fewer children in the school and even newcomers to contend with, can Jack and his unlikely crew pull something off to keep the soul of the village alive and stop Stone becoming a holiday-let ghost town?

In the very real village of Edale, a similarly unlikely group of residents came together to create a feature length fiction film. Stone of Stone, written by Mark Wallington and directed by Alec Boyd is the result of four years of community effort from nearly 100 non-professionals in the world of filmmaking.

Having premiered to the village in the spring, as featured on BBC breakfast, Stone of Stone is about to embark on its first screening tour, coming to Glossop Cinema Club on 23rd August with a discussion and Q&A.

Book early for this very special screening event!

We've also announced our July film, the cult dark comedy 'The Cable Guy' (1996) which star Jim Carrey was infamously paid $20 million to headline.

From director Ben Stiller - before he blew up as a Hollywood star himself - and co-written by Judd Apatow - who went on to helm The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up - this film is a time capsule of the mid-90s and Carrey at the peak of his powers, but with the new generation of comedians waiting in the wings to take over.

Spot early roles for Jack Black (The Minecraft Movie) and Owen Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums) as well as cameos from Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), David Cross (Arrested Development), Janeane Garofolo (Mystery Men), and Kyle Gass (Tenacious D).

Plus a real mid-90s grunge soundtrack, and a plethora of pop culture nods, this somewhat prescient comedy is an anarchic successor to the likes of Martin Scorsese's The King Of Comedy and has earned a deserved cult following since its somewhat muted response on release in the Summer of 96.

Alongside the film there'll be the usual intro, prizes, short films, and more. All upstairs at The Globe Glossop on Sunday 12th July from 5pm.
