Greetings my dear Friends,

A FEW BEST MEN is a runaway comedy with a pedigree, written by Dean Craig who scripted Death at a Funeral and directed by Stephan Elliot of Priscilla Queen of the Desert fame.  “A sheep in drag, a runaway floral arrangement and Olivia Newton John in this riotous comedy in which the humour varies from the outrageous to the ridiculous. A corker of a film with a feel-good guarantee.” (Urban Cinefile L. Keller)

The French comedy WOMEN ON THE SIXTH FLOOR screens here Sunday at 3:50pm to begin in earnest next week – a delicious upstairs downstairs comedy with barbs, twists and turns that will have you laughing when in 1960s Paris, a conservative couple's lives are turned upside down by two Spanish maids.  Come enjoy this gentle French comedy.

FLICKERFEST SHORT FILM FESTIVAL is bigger and better than ever before with an opening night party on Friday 3rd Feb with Best of Australian Shorts and on Saturday 4th Feb, Short Laughs at 7pm followed by Best of International Shorts 2 at 9pm. With films like Fish & Chips about 10 yr old Pauline Hansen or The Last Norwegian Troll about three young goats who decide to get rid of the last surviving troll in Norway this is going to be great!

So many of you have asked when our outdoor ALFRESCO GARDEN CINEMA will return...good news!  Given good weather, we will be screening that all round Aussie feel good film RED DOG on Friday 10th and Sat 11th Feb. Starts at 8:30pm.  We have the chairs, the wine and the best beachside outdoor screen on the Coast…come enjoy!

Our Coasties Film Festival is screening Sunday 25th March and we want YOUR film.  If you make short films, music video clips, animations, claymations or other creative pieces suitable for the big screen, enter them into COASTIES.  If you’ve not made a film before – go ahead and give it a try.  New section this year – seniors!  If you’d like to enter SENIORS but don’t have a camera, we will lend you ours!  What could be simpler?  But be quick - entries close 16th March.  More details on our website…check it out!

See you very soon, at the Theatre,
Beth
