PRESS RELEASE: 

 

 "Thanet on Film": - Additional screening due to popular demand

 

The public will have their last chance to see the phenomenally popular "Thanet On Film II" when the Margate version of the film gets its final public screening at the Ursuline College in Westgate-On-Sea.

 

The 78 minute film includes vintage footage of Thanet from the 1920s to the 1970s and explores the impact of the decline in seaside holidays on the area.  It also explores the future for Thanet and hopes for the regeneration of the area through initiatives such as the new Turner Contemporary Gallery.

 

Mrs O'Grady, Assistant Headteacher at the Ursuline College, saw the film when it was screened at the Carlton Cinema recently and felt that it was an excellent way to show her Geography students the changing tourist industry in Thanet, and also other current issues such as the decline of Dreamland, attempts to regenerate tourism and the Thanet Earth Developments. 

 

Members of the public are invited to attend the screening and tickets, costing £5.00 can be booked in advance by telephoning the Ursuline College on 01843 434431.

 

"Thanet On Film" will be shown in the Ursuline College, Westgate-On-Sea on Wednesday 30 March 2011 at 7pm.  Doors open at 6.30pm.
