The Attleborough Baptist Church is thrilled to announce a special event to commemorate its 200th anniversary – a Movie Quiz night, scheduled to take place on September 12. This exciting event is open to the entire community of Attleborough and its surroundings, and the best part is that it’s absolutely free of charge! The church has planned a wonderful evening, complete with food, fun, and a healthy dose of movie magic. The event is being presented by renowned film critic and author, Andy Godfrey, who has written extensively on the intersection of faith and film. As a self-proclaimed film buff, Andy is the perfect host for this event, and his passion for cinema is infectious. With a collection of nearly 3,000 movies, shelves filled with books on cinema, and a treasure trove of movie memorabilia, Andy is the ultimate authority on all things film.
For Andy, the love affair with cinema began at a very young age. His parents took him to see “The Wizard of Oz,” and it was a truly life-changing experience. As he recounts, “I was somewhere else. Somewhere my asthma and my problems at school really didn’t matter at all. Somewhere I could get lost and have fun. Somewhere exciting and different. Somewhere I could have a thrilling adventure. I discovered, at that very moment, the power and joy of cinema.” This experience sparked a lifelong passion for film, and Andy has dedicated his life to sharing this passion with others. As an evangelist with Outreach UK, Andy has spent 40 years in full-time Christian work, and his love for film has only grown stronger with time. He writes regular film reviews for Christian media outlets, runs a popular Facebook page where 6,000 people discuss films, and is even friends with the UK’s leading film critic, Mark Kermode.
The Movie Quiz night promises to be an entertaining and family-friendly event, with something for everyone to enjoy. The evening will kick off at 7 pm with a sumptuous spread of food to fill stomachs and brains for the competition. Participants are encouraged to form teams of five or six, but don’t worry if you’re coming solo – you’ll be allocated a team to join in on the fun. The quiz will feature a variety of rounds, from movie taglines to movie stars, famous quotes, and more. Andy will close off the evening with a thought-provoking look into the soul of cinema itself and the intersection of faith and film. With its unique blend of fun, food, and film, this event is sure to be a memorable experience for all who attend.
