The Armidale Film Club is kicking off its new season
for 2017 in March. This is an
opportunity to see quality films that would not normally be screened at the
Belgrave Cinema because they are on limited release.
An Annual membership is $90 for exclusive screenings of
eleven films ($8.18 per film).
Each membership includes two companion vouchers to bring a friend for the
standard ticket price of $15.50.
Members may choose to go to either a Monday or a
Wednesday evening session (approx. Mon 530pm or Wed 7pm). Films will be shown
March to February (no film in January).
You can pick up a ticket for your preferred screening up to a week in
advance from the cinema. This will
secure access to your preferred sessions as seating cannot be guaranteed on the
night.
The first three films have been lined up for the 2017
Season are Perfect
Strangers (March), Toni Erdmann (April) and Mahana (May).
Perfect Strangers
Seven long-time
friends (three married couples and a divorcee) are having a dinner. They
decide, as a playful game, to make all SMSs and phone calls public for that
evening, to prove that nobody has anything to hide. Hilarity and drama ensue
together as everyone's secrets are unveiled and the seven friends find
themselves perfect strangers to each other.
Not just a box office hit but also a national phenomenon,
this Italian dramedy is perfect for our digital age.
Toni Erdmann
An insightful and very funny film
about a practical joking father trying to lighten up his serious businesswoman
daughter. He tries to reconnect by creating
an outrageous alter ego and posing as her CEO's life coach. A German film with rave reviews and nominated for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category.
Mahana
From the author of "The Whale
Rider", a tale of family rivalry and reconciliation, set against the
stunning backdrop of rural New Zealand in the 1960s. Two
Maori sheep-shearing families - the Mahanas and the Poatas - are longstanding
enemies and commercial rivals. 14-year-old Simeon Mahana, the youngest son, is
in conflict with his traditionalist grandfather, Tamihana. As Simeon unravels
the truth behind the longstanding family vendetta, he risks not just his own
future prospects, but the cohesion of the entire tight-knit society.
