I have been lecturing for the past 12 years about a number of different subjects including fashion, explorers and history. In the last eight years I have specialised in lecturing about Film. I have given talks to many different organisations including the U3A, Women’s Institute, Solar Society and private groups.

 

So How does it work?

 

Well there are different options available


  1. I can give a talk about a cinema subject maybe a favourite actor or actress. All subjects are lavishly illustrated with film clips. The talks can last from 40 minutes up to 90 minutes you decide.
  2. I can give a talk about a cinema subject as above but also show a full length film which corresponds to the talk afterwards.
  3. Both of the above with a discussion group afterwards. Where we discuss all we have seen in a group setting usually over tea or coffee!
  4. A brief talk about a favourite film before showing it.

 

My Requirements


A hall or large room with either a screen or a plain white wall.

I will bring everything else. A high quality projector, sound system, blu-ray player and lectern.


I will need power points to plug my equipment into but I always carry a collection of extension cables with me.

 

The cost varies according to the options above and the distance I have to travel.


Please contact me for a price by email.


Thank you Simon Frampton
