Free films in the park

Ghostbusters and Annie, two much loved family films, will lead the line-up at this year’s Sure Picture Show in partnership with the Jersey Film Festival.

The Jersey Film Festival has a week of stunning free outdoor cinema in Howard Davis Park every year since 1994. For the first time this year organiser, Deputy Kevin Lewis is being supported by telecoms operator, Sure.

Over 230 islanders emailed and texted suggestions for films, with 130 different ideas! From that list Deputy Lewis has compiled a great line-up for the week:

Deputy Lewis commented:

“Every year I have people stopping me in the street asking whether I’ll do the film festival again and telling me how much they enjoy it. This is a real labour of love for me, but the positive comments make it worth it.”

Graham Hughes, Commercial Director for Sure, added:

“This is a fantastic line-up spanning great sing-along movies and real feelgood factor. People of all ages should be able to find something to enjoy. We’ll be supplying goodies like pop corn and blow up chairs for a nominal charge which will all raise money for Jersey Hospice.”

The Sure Picture Show will take place from 16th – 22nd August 2008. There will be a free film to see every night at 8:30pm.
