Soul Kitchen brings a bit of light relief, food, fun and colour this month at Port Fairy….


This months movie offering is a film set in Hamburg which centres around a struggling restaurant in a warehouse owned by a Turkish man named Zinos, and a series of humorous events and interactions between a curious gathering of characters. Everything that can go wrong for Zinos does go wrong; tax collectors, health inspectors, relationships, family, staff, customers and much more. Some of the stories and events are predictable and a bit slapstick but as David Stratton of “At the Movies” points out

“SOUL KITCHEN is cheerful, wild, colourful and sometimes a little silly, but it's thoroughly enjoyable.”

This comedy is a far departure from Fatih Akins previous award winning movies including the very broody “Head On” And “Edge of Heaven” but he has assembled a fine cast making Soul Kitchen a “delicious treat” of great music, amazing food, life and colour.

Soul Kitchen is rated MA and screens at 7:30pm this Friday October 15th after the AGM of the Port Fairy Film Society, which will be held in the presence of all the members just prior to screening.

The Film Society welcomes nominations to the committee for the 2011 year. Contact Kathy Sanderson –President prior to the AGM on 0407 685 686 if you are interested.

The Tuesday Classic Matinees continue to be a big hit in the community and at 1.30 on Tuesday 26 October we screen “Philadelphia Story”, the third in this seasons set of films free to existing PFFS members. It is rated PG and goes for 112 mins. Made in 1940, This is a very witty romantic comedy with Katharine Hepburn as a socialite whose wedding plans are complicated by the simultaneous arrival of her ex-husband (Carey Grant) and an attractive journalist.(Jimmy Stewart).
