Finding Vivian Maier - May

The Armidale Film Club film for May (Monday, 11th and Wednesday, 19th May) will be Finding Vivian Maier. Tickets are available from Wendesday, 6th May for the first screening.

When you get your ticket, don't forget to pick up your membership cards - they are ready!

During Vivian Maier's lifetime, her extensive photographic portfolio was largely unknown.  This remarkable documentary, which was nominated for an Oscar in 2014, changed all that.  The images she created are both impressive and fascinating and the story of her life is gripping.  The film also raises certain ethical issues, which we hope will leave you with lots to discuss when it's over, always the hallmark of an excellent film, we feel.  Enjoy!

 

Locke - April 2015

The second film for this year's film club season (Monday, 20th April and Wednesday, 29th April) will be the US film Locke.

Leaving the construction site on the eve of a major project, construction manager Ivan Locke receives news that sends him driving the two hours from Birmingham to London, but even further from the life he once knew. Making the decision that he has to make, he then calls his wife, his sons, his co-workers and boss telling them the secret that he is bearing and trying to keep his job and family intact. But even more importantly, he will have to face himself and the choices he has made.

We've chosen this film partly because of it's uniqueness, but also because it was one of Margaret Pomeranz's five best films of 2014.  Its uniqueness stems from the fact that it is entirely set in a car (don't worry it's not too long!) and the driver, played by Tom Hardy, has had rave reviews.  Don't let this put you off.  On the contrary, it's a thrilling drama and everyone we know who's seen it has enjoyed it!
