POOLE'S Lighthouse continues its series of informal, film-related meetings this week.

Now Showing, on Monday May 23 from 7pm, allows local film fans to get together and talk about what they've seen, what's coming up and pick up a few discounts to future Lighthouse presentations.

Also on Monday, Spotlight On returns (from 8pm) with a look at the fortunes of British film. A-level film lecturer, Kate Gamm talks about the ups and downs of the domestic film industry over the last 30 years or so with special reference to the work of Mike Leigh.
