Enjoy Senior Selections from the comfort of your own home!
Enjoy Senior Selections from the comfort of your own home for our audiences in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and friends around Scotland!
Starting in July, we will use our VOD platform, Filmhouse at Home. Each attendee will receive a discount code to watch the film for FREE during the session.
Senior Selections films are chosen by our Senior Volunteers, who will be on hand to welcome you and have a chat after the film on Zoom.
Do you need help using Filmhouse at Home? Training sessions will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, July 7, and Thursday, July 8, at 2 p.m.
To join one of the sessions please email education@cmi-scotland.co.uk. We will walk you through the process, from creating an account to watching a film on Filmhouse at Home.
Thank you to our supporters who make Senior Selections possible: The National Lottery Community Fund, The Foyle Foundation, Aberdeen City Council’s Common Good Fund, and The William Grant Foundation.
Filmhouse at Home is supported by the Weston Culture Fund.
The Fallen Idol • Tue 15 Feb at 2.00 pm
Adapted from Graham Greene’s novella ‘The Basement Room’, The Fallen Idol is the story of eight-year-old Phillipe (Bobby Henrey) caught up in a bewildering world of grown-up deceptions.Â
When Phillipe stumbles upon an affair between his hero and secretary Julie (Michèle Morgan), he comes to believe that Baines has murdered his hectoring wife (Sonia Dresdel).
One of the gems of ‘40s British cinema, The Fallen Idol was the first collaboration between director Reed and screenwriter Greene, who went on to make The Third Man together.
