Sheet Film Club begins its autumn season with A Man and a Woman on September 17 at Sheet Village Hall, at 7.30pm.

All are welcome whether members or not (£6 on the door for non-members). See webcollect.org.uk/sheetfilms where it is easy to join and then buy tickets in advance.

The bar opens at 7pm and snacks can be ordered at the door (to be supplied by The Queens Head for the interval).

A Man and a Woma (Un homme et une femme) stars Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant.

Directed by Claude Lelouch, this film became one of the best-loved French movies of the 1960s, and won not only a Cannes Golden Palm but an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

It is a love story of a second-chance romance, with a hauntingly beautiful music score. The action moves from Deauville to Monte Carlo. Jean-Louis Duroc (Trintignant) and Anne Gauthier (Aimée) meet incidentally at the boarding school where they visit their children each weekend. He visits his son, she her daughter. She misses her train and he offers her a ride back to Paris in his car...

Meanwhile, Sheet Film Club has been short-listed by the BFI–backed organization Cinema For All for its annual award of Best New Film Society. This is a national award, and Sheet has made it onto the short list of eight. Results are due on October 3.
