As a postscript to the Overview of the Living Room Cinema, a press cutting in the Cinema Theatre Association Archive from February 1995 announced a programme of films at Liphook’s Bohunt Community Centre. The inaugural shows were on Saturday 18th February: Walt Disney’s “Peter Pan” in the afternoon and Steven Spielburg’s “Schindler’s List” in the evening.
Initially, while the response from the public was being gauged, screenings were planned on a monthly basis: the next was to be Disney’s “101 Dalmations”, on Saturday 18th March. Regrettably, there are no further cuttings, so it is not known how popular these shows turned out to be and how long this initiative lasted.
Interestingly, the cutting noted that occasional film shows were being presented in Haslemere Hall (in Haslemere) and by Petersfield Town Council in their “village hall” - otherwise, as with the situation leading up to the founding of the Living Room Cinema, the residents of Liphook had to travel further afield for a screening at a ‘regular’ cinema.
