UCH Releases Winter Cinema Line-Up

The University Concert Hall (UCH) have announced their slate of films for the upcoming Winter season.

The screenings kick off on Monday, September 23rd with a screening of the timeless Grease.

The 1978 musical made household names of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, and the songs from the soundtrack have becoming ingrained into the public consciousness, like any good musical.

The screening takes place on Monday, October 21st.

Often called the greatest foreign language film of the 21st century, Pan’s Labyrinth was designed to be seen on a big screen, and is the Mexican auteur’s finest hour.

The Chris Columbus-directed film is a great watch any time of the year, but none better than from late November onwards.
