SPECIAL SUMMER SATURDAY SCREENING

It's Summer. It's January. We can't quite arrange an open air screening, so we thought the next best thing was to enjoy a picnic on the Flett Studio grassy forecourt before the show. Bring your supper and drinks, bring your chairs, bring your picnic set, bring your tiffins. Lets' spice up your evening! 

Picnic from 6pm 

Doors open 7pm for 7.30 show

Our beloved catering crew will be offering the usual pre-show nibbles and drinks, but please help us by not taking food into the studio theatre (drinks are OK).

PLEASE NOTE THAT LICENSING RESTRICTIONS REQUIRE THAT ALCOHOL IS TAKEN NEITHER IN OR OUT OF THE MEC BUILDINGS

You can join the Taree Film Society ($90) for the period January to June 2024 and then book your free tickets at Humanitix.

Casual tickets are $18: book at Humanitix:

Samay, a 9-year-old boy living with his family in a remote village in India discovers films for the first time and is absolutely mesmerized. Against his father's wishes, he returns to the cinema day after day to watch more films, and even befriends the projectionist, who, in exchange for his lunch box, lets him watch movies for free. He quickly figures out that stories become light, light becomes films, and films become dreams. Samay and his wild gang of friends move heaven and earth to catch and project light to achieve a 35mm film projection. Together, they use an innovative hack and jubilantly succeed in making a film projection apparatus. But following your dreams often means leaving things behind.
