Sellout screenings at Broadstairs Palace Cinema for weeks running and emergency public meetings sparked by the issues raised, ‘Thanet on Film’ was never an ordinary archive film experience. Hugely popular with the local community, our screenings of this film were no exception at the Ramsgate Summer Squall festival. Sold out every time, our only disappointment was those we had to turn away.

The film has proved so popular that it has spawned a sequel – now you don’t see that happening with an archive film very often, do you!? You can catch a glimpse of the trailer for ‘Thanet on Film II’ on YouTube.

Screened at: Ramsgate Summer Squall, August 2011
