The Silence Of The Lambs (18)

Woodrows Coffee Co is screening The Silence Of The Lambs on Friday 30 October, from 20:00 to 22:00. It's a proper cinema setup in the middle of a coffee shop: a 4k projector and full 5.1 Dolby surround sound, so you're getting the picture and the sound as they were meant to be heard, rather than a projector thrown up on a wall.

Woodrows describes the films they screen as the ones they genuinely love — classics, cult favourites and hidden gems — and The Silence Of The Lambs fits that bill. It's a 1991 thriller that's held up well, and seeing it with a proper sound system makes the tension work even better. If you've only ever seen it on a small screen, this is a good chance to catch it the way it was intended.

There's a bit more to the night than just the film. Doors open an hour before the showing, and the venue serves food and drink beforehand, so you can grab a coffee or something to eat and settle in before the lights go down. They also sometimes show a short film before the main feature in support of local filmmakers, which is a nice way to see some new work alongside a well-known title.

General admission is between £7.00 and £7.50, plus a small ticket service fee. The screening runs from 20:00 to 22:00 at Woodrows Coffee Co, 79 Brynymor Rd, Swansea SA1 4JE.
