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.

 Suburban mother (Agnes - played by Kelly MacDonald) feels unappreciated by the family she cares for. She finds she has a talent for doing jigsaws and the pieces of a revised life start to fall into place. 

Our May offering is the last Hollywood film of Lunch Box star Irrfan Khan.

We will be screening on Thursday 18th May, as usual doors open at 6:30pm, screening at 7. Look forward to seeing you there.

 A hero of the Kurdish war of independence takes up the role of sheriff in a small valley at the border of Iran, Iraq and Turkey; a tough neighbourhood. He finds himself very much an an outsider, along with the school teacher. She has the added challenge of being an unmarried female.

This Iraqi drama has rated very highly on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB.

Thursday 20th April is the day and date, 6:30 doors open, 6:55 for last drinks and screening starts at 7:00.

Look forward to seeing you then.

 Here's a fun fact, since 2019 there have been five movies named Limbo, one of them is about a pair of Hong Kong policemen; but that's not the one we'll be seeing on Thursday. So please ignore my earlier post, we are actually going to see the Limbo telling the story of Omar, a promising Syrian musician waiting on a remote Scottish island to hear the outcome of his asylum application.

Hopefully next month I'll get it right first time.

The on thing I dis get right is that  the screening will be on Thursday 16th March is the day and date, 6:30 doors open, 6:55 for last drinks and screening starts at 7:00.

Look forward to seeing you then.
