Question: what do Alfred Hitchcock, Chiwetel Ejiofor, William Morris, Maggie O’Neill, Charles Hawtrey, Ken Russell, Thandiwe Newton, Broncho Billy, Charlie Chaplin, Naomi Ackie, Leslie Phillips, Captain Birdseye, Peter Greenaway and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band all have in common? Simple! They are lining up to join a cast of thousands on the big screen when the McGuffin Film Society hosts an affectionate celebration of Waltham Forest’s offbeat and often unsung film heritage.
With feature films, TV dramas, documentaries, shorts, silent comedies, newsreels, music videos and curios from movie-makers old and new.
Thanks to Bill Hodgson and the McGuffin Film Society for dedicating their efforts in 2003 to save the venue from being lost as an entertainment hub.
Each event will have a completely different line up of films, and we’ll be announcing details of each evening soon.
