The Perth Film Society
The Mission of the Perth Film Society (PFS) is to provide the people in and around Perth with the best in the cinematic arts through film nights, pre-movie talks, and educational extras and forums for conversations among film enthusiasts through its internet presence.
Films will be selected for their cinematic excellence, and screenings will be organized in series that feature award-winning directors, actors, and screenplays, or according to genre. There will be classics from directors like Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and Francis Ford Coppola, and such actors as Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Clark Gable, Henry Fonda and Marlon Brando. There will classics from the various genres: western, horror, mystery, war, adventure, and, of course, love stories. The PFS will invite local experts to give introductions before the start of each movie, and perhaps lead discussions afterwards for those film fanatics out there.
All in all, a PFS film night promises to be a wonderful evening out, and a great opportunity to see many classic films not always available at the video store, and to watch them on the big screen. All film nights will take place at the Myriad Centre for the Arts in the Old Perth Shoe Factory on Sherbrooke St. (the same building as the Factory Grind and PAC), which has an excellent sound system. The Myriad Centre is also wheelchair accessible, and provides cushioned seating, air conditioning, and, of course, popcorn.
PFS memberships are $5 per year and may be purchased at any film night. Members will be put on a mailing list and kept informed of upcoming events. Information on film showings and on the history and art of cinema will also be available through the upcoming PFS blog. Admission is only $5 for members, and popcorn only $2 a bag, making for a fun and inexpensive outing for the whole family.

SPIRITUAL
CINEMA CIRCLE
Movies
with Heart. Movies with Soul
MAY 30/2010, SUNDAY 2PM
It is a good sign that so many people
have mentioned they missed having an April film. Even some store owners asked
me for an April poster when I dropped in to shop. This month’s film is, in my
humble opinion, so good it will make up for last month’s missed film.
I
dedicate our main feature to the memory of my good friend, Eduardo Gomez-Duran,
who often came from Ottawa with his wife, Suzanne, to view the films. He passed
on recently much too young. He had a warm sincerity, a deep wisdom and
kind sense of humour. He passed on so quickly, that I still expect him to
appear around the corner with a large smile. Our film explores the nature and
possible ways of healing hearts caught in sorrow.

UNCROSS
THE STARS
When Troy (Daniel Gillies) loses his beautiful young wife, he follows
her enigmatic last request: to drive to the desert and build his Aunt Hilda
(Barbara Hershey) a porch, and to "uncross the stars". Once he
arrives in Happy Valley, an Arizona retirement community, Troy meets Hilda's friends, a group of bawdy, wisecracking older
women, and a Vietnam vet (Ron Perlman) who show him a different outlook on life
and death. Troy's journey opens his heart in ways he never imagined possible.
96 min. in English. Written by Ted Henning.
Directed by Kenny Golde.
