Harrogate Film Society screening of the Danish crime thriller 'The Girl with the Needle' at the Odeon, with post-film discussion.
The Girl with the Needle screens at The Odeon on Monday 2 November, brought to town by the Harrogate Film Society. It's a Danish film from 2024, 123 minutes long, directed by Magnus von Horn with cinematography by Michal Dymek. It's subtitled, so you'll be reading as much as watching.
If you haven't come across them, Harrogate Film Society has been bringing world cinema to the town since 1955. It's run entirely by volunteers in an informal, welcoming atmosphere, and their core programme of around 15 films runs from September to April each year. They tend to focus on critically acclaimed and diverse titles from around the world, many of which rarely get a UK screening. Beyond that, they run themed events, a Classic Season, and an Art Season with the Friends of Mercer Art Gallery, along with pre-film social evenings, quiz nights and post-film discussion groups. They were also named as Community Cinema Awards 2026 nominees for Marketing and Publicity and for a Single Event.
Screening at the Odeon gives members and guests the full cinematic experience of surround sound and comfortable seating. It costs slightly more than some of the cheaper venues because the society hires the screens on a private basis and sources the films and licences itself. In the lobby, there's a token system that invites every viewer to score the film afterwards, so you can see how it lands with the rest of the room.
