PROCEEDS from a special screening of David Lean’s Lawrence Of Arabia on Sunday, March 20 at the Reel Cinema, Blossom Street, York, will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

Co-organiser Mike Gwilliam says: “The cinema is generously letting us have the facilities for free and all the money raised will go towards assisting MAP’s Emergency Burns Appeal.

“We’ve been planning the event for a while, but the timing does seem especially apt, given recent events in the Arab world and Lawrence’s passion for the cause of Arab freedom and independence.”

Tickets for the 2.15pm screening can be booked on 0871 902 5726 or picturehouses.co.uk
