It could be said that 1975 was one of the best years for cinemagoers.

The year saw Jaws shock audiences, Jack Nicholson steal the show in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Monty Python and the Holy Grail bring anarchic comedy to the screen.

The same year also saw a Norfolk town celebrate the building of its community centre.

And now to mark that event Holt Community Centre will be stepping back in time to 1975 to host a film festival of movies from that year.

The February Film Festival, now in its fifth year, is helping to celebrate the anniversary by screening a selection of seven films all first shown in 1975.

The festival will run from Friday, February 7 to Sunday, February 9 at the community centre.

"After the success of this year’s love-themed photo competition, the theme for 2025 will be a wonderful trip down memory lane.”

The festival will be launching its 2025 programme with a free screening of Love Actually on Wednesday, December 4.

The festival programme will be announced on the night, and discounted weekend passes at £32 for seven films will be for sale on the evening.
