Following the thrills and spills of this year's AGM we will be enjoying Antonio Banderas' playing a talented director forced to look back on his career and the life choices he made; the good, the poor and the indifferent.
As mentioned previously, our movie will be preceded by the 2023 AGM. The AGM will commence at 7:00, as usual doors will be open at 6:30 with time for a quick tipple and light snack before all the excitement begins.
Looking forward to seeing you on the night.
Thank you to all the observant members who noticed my whoopsie in this week's AGM notice. Our AGM will not be held two months ago, and it won't even be on the 17th.
It will be on Thursday the 19th October. Apologies for the error. Looking forward to seeing you there and then.
Our official AGM will be held on Thursday 17th August at 7:00pm, immediately before our October screening.
Our cinematic travels this month take us to Paris, but not the the romanticised City of Light, rather we see the more mundane side, in the struggles of single mother Julie Roy (played by Laure Calamy) to make ends meet. Finally an opportunity presents itself in the form of an interview for the ideal job that promises a chance to get ahead - then come the national transit strike.
The winner of numerous awards at international festivals Full Time was described by the Guardian as wonderfully evocative of the stress felt by Julie - allow time to decompress afterwards is the critics advice.
Thursday 21st September is the day , 6:30 for a 7:00 start is the time, the Sir Robert Helpmann theatre is the place.
Our film this month is a documentary focussing on renowned American Author Kurt Vonnegut. Perhaps best known for his novel "Slaughterhouse Five" (from which the "unstuck in time" part of the title is derived), Vonnegut wrote a total of 14 novels, three short story collections, five plays and five non-fiction works.
This film was produced over a number of years by Vonnegut's close friend Bob Weide, but still provides a warts and all portrait.
Thursday 17th August is the day and date, 6:30 for a 7:00 start is the time and the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre is the place. See you there.
First, just a reminder that this month we're on the **fourth** Thursday (the 27th). So feel free to head down to the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre, but don't expect to see us or this month's film.
Next Thursday we will be watching a Russian speaking Ukrainian massage away the anxieties of his Polish clients, as he assumes a guru like status in their community.
As always doors open at 6:30, screening starts around 7:00 after the pre-film warm-up.
As winter sets in, our cinematic journey takes us to the British Isles where this story of a woman escaping from an abusive relationship finds herself caught up in a broken housing system to the point she has to take serious action. In building her own home she discovers a strength within, and herself.
Join us next Thursday (the 22nd) at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre, as usual doors open at 6:30 and screening starts around 7. See you there.
