MANY places have become synonymous with the cinema: Hollywood, Pinewood, Cannes, Pocklington...

Pocklington?

Well, not quite, but it has taken its first step to silver screen immortality by scoring a genuine scoop.

The Oak House arts centre is hosting the provincial premiere of the most critically-acclaimed film of the year so far, A Beautiful Mind.

This tremendous achievement is great news for Yorkshire movie buffs who often have to wait to see the big releases.

Now all we need is for Russell Crowe to attend the Pocklington premiere.
