They’re back! Film & Arts Mackay, Mackay’s Alternative Cinema, will be back with their monthly movies on Friday, February 6, at CQU’s Cook Theatre. Each month, Film & Arts Mackay screens award-winning movies not usually shown in commercial cinemas. February’s film is ‘Four Mothers’, an Irish movie which won the Audience Award at the BFI London Film Festival.
This sharp-edged comedy bursts onto the screen with wit, warmth, and just the right amount of chaos. Edward (James McArdle), a writer on the cusp of international success, is all set for his big U.S. book tour when life pulls the rug out from under him—his beloved mother Alma (the incomparable Fionnula Flanagan) suffers a stroke. What else can go wrong, right? Plenty!
FAM’s Friday movies are followed by a supper, included in the ticket price. For membership (discount prices) and/or movie tickets, go to www.trybooking.com/DIJCZ.
Film & Arts Mackay is a not-for-profit group whose proceeds help support other local arts groups. The proceeds from one movie each year go to a nominated local charity, including the Rural Fire Brigade and Mackay Women’s Services, among others.
