Free Film Screenings in London March 2015

Let’s march to… spring!

As winter months accumulate, March is usually a difficult one to get through. Spring does not come soon enough, low temperatures usually persist and to make things worse, I cannot recall any holidays or celebration days off the top of my head (apart from International Women’s day)– so if your birthday falls in March, consider yourself lucky!

For the rest of us, March is an ideal opportunity to focus on developing ourselves. Use this month to learn more about the world we are living in, about our history and past and about some of the challenges our planet faces i.e. the climate. Climate Week – Britain’s biggest climate change campaign- runs in the beginning of March and they will host a couple of screenings.

I know I have often fallen victim of watching a pleasant film because it is light and easy whereas there are so many wonderful award-winning films out there that show you a glimpse of the world you may never see for yourself and will have a lasting sensation in your memory. Sometimes I need just a push – so it may be the case with you! This is why this month’s film list focuses on classic films, politics, history and documentaries and provides the opportunity to watch something that will resonate with you.

P.S. Like always, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films are free entry (check brackets for when that’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance so hurry up!
