CINEMA buffs are being given the chance to see a range of films from different genres in Hartlepool from now until Christmas.

Hartlepool Borough Council's arts and museums service has linked up with the town's Warner Village Cinema to show a range of big screen, classic, contemporary and foreign language films.

The season starts tomorrow with the Italian classic Cinema Paradiso. Other films include Chocolat, The Dish, Amores Perros, Sweet and Lowdown and Audition.

All 13 films, some of which have subtitles, will be shown in the Warner Village Cinema, Marina Way, on Tuesdays at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £3.60.
