Towner Cine Club: Little Women

Towner Cine Club is a chance for you to catch classic films back on the big screen, all presented with an introduction by Henry Jordan. Whether it’s arthouse oddities, cult classics, old favourites or new discoveries, we’ll be showing something exciting every month at Towner Cinema.

Henry Jordan works at Towner as a Duty Manager and helps with the day-to-day operations of the cinema, as well as hosting Towner Cine Club. He studied English and Film Studies at University of Exeter, which included a study abroad year that he took at University of South Florida in Tampa, USA. During Henry’s time at university, he discovered his core fields of interest, among them para-cinema, surrealism and anti-literature.

Before Towner, Henry worked at the Arts Picturehouse in Cambridge, where he was a regular host for their sell out quiz nights and hosted a Q&A with Dame Pippa Harris for her film Empire of Light. He also was a regular on the Cambridge Film Show, has been published in The Quietus and still writes for The Quite Nerdy Blog, his blog about pop culture that has been running since 2014.

Saoirse Ronan leads Greta Gerwig’s (Lady Bird, Barbie) gorgeous, multi Oscar-nominated Little Women, a passionate and intelligent adaptation of Louisa M. Alcott’s classic coming-of-age novel. She plays headstrong Jo alongside Emma Watson as Meg, Florence Pugh as Amy and Eliza Scanlen as Beth – the March sisters, four young women determined to live life on their own terms. With a stellar wider cast including Timothée Chalamet as Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March, Gerwig’s Little Women is a love letter to sisterhood and girlhood and a funny, heartfelt and bracingly alive version of the beloved story.
