Ashjar Farhadi’s Oscar, Golden Bear, Cesar, GG…. winning human drama of a married couple are faced with a difficult decision - to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease. “This exquisite film begins slowly but soon grabs you by the throat as it explores the fine line between truth, honesty, loyalty and justice. The performances are all excellent. It’s a wonderful film.” Margaret , ATM, ABC </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">MARGARET: I love the little insights, going to the petrol station, he makes her go get the change from the attendant because he didn’t actually fill the tank, it’s such a little insight in his character. These insights into the legal system in Iran, which are so interesting and textured because it is a completely different system from ours. But aiming at the same thing, aiming at ultimate justice. I just, I love this film, I love… really love it. I’m giving it five stars, it’s rare for me, but I just embraced it so wholeheartedly.</span></span><br />

Everyone is excellent – Judi Dench, Lena Olin, Alfred Molina, Carrie-Anne Moss, and what a treat it is to see Leslie Caron back onscreen. Johnny Depp is cool and oh so hot as the riverboat traveller. It's bewitching, it's hypnotic, it's fantasy to satisfy every whim. Delicious in every way, torturing you with pleasure, Chocolat is a treat – a whimsical uplifting fantasy that swirls as surely as an alluring pot of rich, melted chocolate." Louise Keller Urban Cinefiles<br /><br />Sponsored by Port Fairy’s own chocolaterie Slitti. With delightful tastings of nothing but chocolate to get you in the mood for this wonderful movie! Scrumptious Slitti tasting sample with every ticket sold. Also supported by our very own Confectionery Shop in Sackville Street.<br />*** Pre-movie entertainment with our local Port Singers.***</span><br />

Based on John Le-Carre’s novel ,
Tomas Alfredson has brilliantly remade spy thriller set in the 1970’s at the
height of the Cold War. George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a disgraced British spy,
is rehired in secret by his government - which fears that the British Secret
Intelligence Service, has been compromised by a double agent working for the
Soviets. Could it be Alleline (Toby
Jones), Haydon (Colin Firth), Bland (Ciarán Hinds), Estherhase (David Dencik) –
5 Stars,</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Oldman is superb as the ever-present Smiley (portrayed by Alec Guinness
in the 1979 TV series), while Colin Firth shows great presence as the elegant, confident
Bill Haydon, code-named Tailor. The fact that the physicality of</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
the actors is so different works in the film's favour with Toby Jones
as good as ever as the smarmy Percy Alleline (Tinker) and Ciaran Hiands's large
features are imposing as Roy Bland (Soldier). But they are not the only rotten
apple contenders. For maximum enjoyment, do not expect a run-of-the-mill
thriller with linear storytelling and a simple resolution. There is far more
complexity to absorb.</div>

Le Carré is a master of the genre and under Alfredson's dense
direction, the revitalisation of this classic is elevated to new heights as
well as a new audience. (Louis Keller cited in Rotten Tomatoes)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Film goers are in for an interesting experience when the Port Fairy
Film</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Society continues with its 2012 program showing "My Tehran for
Sale" at</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
the Reardon Theatre this Friday at 7.30pm.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
You would have to be on another planet not to at least have heard of</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
this film. It came to prominence last year when Adelaide based Iranian
/</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Australian Director Granaz Moussavi was arrested in Iran and sentenced</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
to 70 lashes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Luckily public pressure around the world, supported by a massive social</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
media campaign, forced a change of heart by the Iranian authorities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It seems this action, supposedly
because official permission for the</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
film was not obtained, plays true in many of the themes present</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
throughout the film. Namely state control, repression and rebellion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
While travellers to Iran speak
highly of the country, from a political</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
side not much seems to have changed in recent years. It is indeed a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
brave director who films "on site" and addresses these
issues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Moussavi is a celebrated poet in
her home country and this film contains</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
much evidence of these poetic influences in the words and visual
scenes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The central character is Marzieh, an actress who is isolated from her</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
family while working, behind closed doors, on a politically sensitive</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
performance piece. Through friends she meets Saman, an</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Iranian/Australian who's come to Tehran to make money to pay off debts</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
incurred back home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
All does not end well in the relationship and both characters are
forced</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
to reassess their lives.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
For those of us with a media /
US dominated view of contemporary Iran</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
this is an important insight into life in contemporary Tehran. It</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
illustrates the frustrations and anguish of young people as they
attempt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
to find personal and cultural freedom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Shot guerrilla style entirely in Tehran it gives us a rare insight into</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
this culturally repressed society through the eyes of the central</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
characters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The performances are strong with the city scenes playing an excellent</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
supporting role. Director Moussavi's poetic background gives texture to</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
the film, the shots chosen build on an understanding of a city she</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
obviously loves but has also given her much pain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A rare treat for filmgoers in the south west. My Tehran for Sale
screens</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
in Port Fairy, 1.00pm and 7.30pm on

<span style="font-size: large;">Unlike the Hoyts,
Village, Palace, commercial Cinema operators, the Port Fairy Film Society is a
community group of non-professional volunteer film lovers who decided to
continue to show films in Port Fairy, after the private operator decided it was

<span style="font-size: large;">In 2012-13, the PFFS will face greater
costs for its screenings and the probability we may have to significantly
upgrade our digital projection systems, as most 35mm film will be phased out by
the end of 2012. Only limited imported prints will be available. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Port Fairy Film Society ends its highly successful and
varied 2011 season with a screening of the 2010 comedy – drama “Beginners”.
Written and directed by Mike Mills this tells the story of Oliver (Ewan
McGregor), a man reflecting on the life and death of his father (Christopher
(Sound of Music) Plummer) while trying to forge a new relationship with a woman
dealing with father issues of her own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Beginners premiered at the 2010 Toronto film festival where
it received favourable reviews.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The film is structured as a series of interconnecting
flashbacks but characterised by the strong performances of the lead male
actors. As the title suggests the film has the theme of new starts, of
reshaping the self, of embarking on new adventures and life changing
experiences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What a great way to end the year and begin the new one!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those of us old enough to remember the romp through the Austrian
alps in Sound of Music will be impressed that old age has not affected
Christopher Plummer who gives a sound performance as a man addressing
contemporary “father and son” issues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Beginners” has moved audiences and is an immensely moving,
funny and involving film. Plummer brings a rare wit, compassion and grace to
his role ably supported by Ewan McGregor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This memorable film screens this Friday 7.30 at Port Fairy’s
Reardon Theatre. Not to be missed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And speaking of beginnings this summer brings a host of
exciting films to Port Fairy. Moyne Shire in conjunction with the Port Fairy
Film society brings a range of films that should not be missed. Commencing with
an outdoor screening of Rio (Village Green December 28) the program includes
Red Dog, Kung Fu Pandas, The Guard, Jane Eyre and many more. For program
details see the Moyanana Festival program or posters around town.</div>

"There are two ways through life - the way of nature and the way ofgrace," says the voice of Jack's mother in the opening moments. The boys are drawn both ways.</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span > With the death of a son, there is remorse and grief, the perspective of a bereaved Christianmother. Through their internal monologue we are privy to the thoughts: Why does misfortune befall the good? If there’s a higher power, who are we to it? In the opening sequence, Malick cites Job.</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span > As an adult, the eldest son Jack( Sean Penn), an architect, still looks forpermanence in the modern world. Dreamsand memory collide in Jack's spiritual, emotional and intellectual journey ashe seeks to reconcile with the past, to reclaim his relationship with hisfather and to properly mourn the loss of his brother. </span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span >Malick (The Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven, Badlands) hasboldly visualized his ambient universal themes, using Donald Trumball (2001: A Space Odyssey) forthe beautifully evocative special effects photography, Alexandre Desplat'ssoaring music and Emmanuel Lubezki's glorious cinematography. </span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span >For his boldness, Malick haspolarized his audience. For many, the narrative is too labyrinthine, disconnectedfrom the visualizations, that in turn are considered pretentiousand unnecessary.</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span >For Margaret Pomeranz, ABC, “thisis a most audacious, wonderful film. While it lacks a conventional narrativestructure, it has a poetic vision….I was incredibly moved by this beautifullymade film, I was also challenged by it. It doesn't get much better than that. Icannot wait to see it again.” Margaret gaveit five stars, David three stars. Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun: Fivestars.</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span >Peter Bradshaw, Guardian: “TerrenceMalick's film is an unashamedly epic reflection on love and loss. .. this is visionary cinema on an unashamedly huge scale: cinema that's thinking big. Malick makes anawful lot of other film-makers look timid and negligible by comparison.” Five stars.</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span >A. O. Scott, NY Times: “moviegoers eager forrapture can find consolation — to say nothing of awe, amazement and grist forendless argument — in “The Tree of Life,” Terrence Malick’s new film, which contemplates human existencefrom the standpoint of eternity. ..</span></span></div><div><span><span >There are very few films Ican think of that convey the changing interior weather of a child’s mind withsuch fidelity and sensitivity…</span></span></div><div><span><span >The sheer beauty of this film is almost overwhelming, but as with other works of religiously minded art,its aesthetic glories are tethered to a humble and exalted purpose, which is toshine the light of the sacred on secular reality.”</span></span></div><div><span><span ><br />TheTree of Life is certainly avisionary, emotionally immersive film that must be seen on the big screen.

In 2011 he co-founded the monthly non-fiction screening program and online Mubi channel, 'Don't You Have Docs?'.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a Fundraiser for the Relay For Life, the Warrnambool Buddhists group screens Oranges and Sunshine at the Reardon Theatre Port Fairy at 1.30 and 7.30pm Friday 7 October. Rated M 104 mins Admission $12 </span><br /> <br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oranges and Sunshine tells the story of Margaret Humphreys (Emily Watson), a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times; the mass deportation of130,000 children from the United Kingdom to Australia and Canada, 7000 to Australia from 1940 to 1967. Single-handedly and against overwhelming odds, Margaret reunited thousands of families and drew worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Children as young as four had been told that their parents were dead. </span><br /> <br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Harold Haig was 10 years old, a man in a suit came to visit. "He said to me, 'Would you like to go to this wonderful place called Australia where the sun shines all day every day and you pick oranges off the trees, live in a little white cottage by the sea and ride a horse to school?'" remembers Haig, who is 73 but looks younger, with Pete Postlethwaite cheekbones and flowing white hair. "While I was letting this sink in, he added, 'Well, you know you're an orphan, your parents are dead, you've got no family, you might as well go.'" Haig was one of the children from British care homes . </span><br /> <br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What Margaret did for me and for thousands of child migrants is to give us back our lives, give us back our identity, and shine a light in where there was just darkness." Where would he be without Humphreys? "I have my doubts about whether I'd be here alive," he says. "You should ask, where would all of us be?" </span><br /> <br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Jim Loach's debut is a powerful, deeply moving, understated account of a major social injustice that went unreported for many years and only this past year received an official apology from the two governments involved, those of Great Britain and Australia”(2009). Phillip French, The Guardian </span><br /> <br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> “But the film, like Humphreys herself, is not an attempt at recrimination; it shows how a single individual can bring about enormous change and make a difference, where perhaps organisations, Governments, political parties and other groupings are impotent.” </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Oranges and Sunshine is a triumph of storytelling on screen and puts us through the emotional wringer - as it should.” Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“There are beautiful performances here from every member of the cast, and it's much to Loach's credit that he handles this potentially sensational material with such restraint. Above all, many scenes are incredibly moving.”, David Stratton: At the Movies, ABC Margaret and David: 4 Stars</span><br /><br /><br /><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This
Friday night the Port Fairy Film Society is looking forward to bringing the
delightful and extraordinary documentary “Babies”. It captures on film the
earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at “once unique and
universal to us all.” The children are, in order of the screening Ponijao, who
lives in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Namibia</st1:country-region>, them
Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region>,
near Bayanchandmani; Mari who lives in <st1:city w:st="on">Tokyo</st1:city> and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
French film maker Thomas Blames has chosen four very contrasting parts of the
world to capture the universal truths of a common existence where from the time
of birth, we observe babies experience the beginning of their journey into the world , their families,
their environment and their
culture. This is all presented in an
observational style, without narration and only the occasional squeals and
sounds of the babies as they interact with their surroundings, siblings,
parents and animals. The film is captivating and mesmerizing in its simplicity
and a joy to watch. Movie goers should find this an enjoyable and engaging way
to pass the time in a warm and welcoming theatre on a Friday night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
