Welcome to the June / July 2021 episode of The Halifax Arts Podcast. In this final episode before we take our summer break, we are looking forward to the ending of lockdown. Janet Warham has been speaking to Charles Morris, owner of the Rex Cinema about his plans to reopen the Elland-based venue; Rosi Gemmell has been chatting to the Calderdale writer Anna Chilvers about her work, including her short stories, one of which she reads for the podcast; and our regular film reviewers - Jeremy Walker, Alex Abel and Steve Archer - discuss Promising Young Woman, Possessor, Nowhere Special and the Oscar-winning The Father with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman. This episode of the podcast was recorded in front of a live audience (of dogs and cows...) at The Piece Hall in Halifax and in rural Barkisland.
