TRIBUTE TO SASHA LEVTOV
GREAT TAKES FILM CLUB was started just before the pandemic by SASHA LEVTOV, the founder and lynchpin of Bognor School of Music. He had always been a keen film fan in (then) Leningrad, watching foreign films there before he escaped from Soviet Russia. He worked his way up from refugee to be the centre of Bognor’s music life, and had always wanted to use the facilities of the School to show films, initially music films for his classes and children (“Fantasia”). Together with Howard Morgan and a grant from the Friends of the School, he was able to use a projector and pop-up screen to show great films that Bognorians would probably never have been able to access. In spite of all the commitments he had with teaching and the School, he was always able to guide the Club until his sudden death in October 2025. We still miss him, his advice, and his hands-on skills, and will try to honour his legacy.
