London: 'Hampstead' at Tim Hetherington Film Club

Official poster

Hampstead is this month's movie at the Tim Hetherington Film Club in the Arrupe Hall in Farm Street Jesuit Centre this Thursday 27 November - 6.30 for 7pm.

As a tribute to the late Dame Maggie Smith, the Film Club showed the last film she ever made, The Miracle Club which was enjoyed by all. Now, in memory of Diane Keaton who died recently, we are showing the delightful comedy drama, Hampstead.

Released in 2017, the film is based on the life of Harry Hallowes who claimed ownership, by squatting on a half-acre plot of land on Hampstead Heath, after being evicted from his nearby flat. For years he battled for the legal rights to own the land on which he had built his shelter arguing that he had gained ownership in law by 'Adverse Possession'.

The stellar cast of actors includes Diane Keaton, the always-watchable Brendan Gleeson, James Norton, Lesley Manville, Jason Watkins and the great Simon Callow.

Join us to see if Harry wins his case … and if he finds 'true love' later in life!

Cost: free refreshments (donations welcome)
