Menschen in Sheffield, 60s Documentary.

[lowowl]

I have come across your posts when doing some research on the internet about Sheffield working men’s clubs. The film will be shown at the Showrrom on 11 November 2012 at 3.30pm with the filmmaker Peter Nestler in attendance. It will be shown as “A Working Men’s Club in Sheffield”, which is the direct translation of the German title “Ein Arbeiterclub in Sheffield”, which is the title Peter Nestler intended for the film. “Menschen in Sheffield” is the title the commissioning TV station gave the film without consulting the filmmaker. It was nice to see that some people in Sheffield have already heard about the film and that there 2 articles in the Star about it, one more about the film, the other one focusing more on the Dial House Club. The film will also be shown in London on 9 November at 7pm. I see that the posts are quite old but hopefully you see this and can come. The film will be subtitled in English. I am new to this forum and can't include any links.

I have a copy of this Menschen , it is only the first minute that is in German

the rest of it is in English so I don't see the need for subtitles.

If anyone wants to view it for free, it's on the sheffieldhistory site on the

Sheffield video forum.

Looking at it you would think it was in the fifties rather than the 1960s.

Flat caps, bingo and hoo those club turns.

Hello, I will look out for you in the film.... Come along to the screening. It would be great to have some people there who actually attended the club.

Peter Nestler unfortunately had to cancel his visit to UK due to unforeseen circumstances. Hopefully, he will be able to come in 2013 and we can screen the film again with him there.

Here is a pic of the DVD and info booklet. Of local interest are the 'inn that crossed the sea' and 'a working mens club in Sheffield'.
