Parallel Mothers Exclusive Cinema Viewing This Sunday

Movie lovers from across the region are invited to the newly built Proserpine Entertainment Centre to view a weekend of exciting cinema.

The event kicks-off with Celeste on Saturday at 7.30pm, a movie that is filmed entirely at Paronella Park and features the story of a once-celebrated opera diva who prepares for her final performance.

This is followed by Parallel Mothers starring Penelope Cruz on the Sunday at 1.30pm.

This movie shows the story of two single women who form a strong bond with one another as they both confront motherhood.

The critically acclaimed Spanish drama is directed by award-winning Pedro Almodovar and is a beautifully constructed story full of twists and turns, some predictable, others not.

With outstanding cinematography, musical score and costume design, audiences are in for an unmissable experience.

This cinematic masterpiece is hosted by Film and Arts Mackay in collaboration with the Whitsunday Arts Festival.

On the Sunday, there will be a return coach transfer to the viewing of Parallel Mothers, departing from Gordon Street, outside Art Space, at 10.30am.

The cultural experience includes the movie followed by lunch at Whitsunday Gold Coffee.

Tickets are between $15 and $20 for the cinema only and the coach transfers, cinema and lunch dining package are between $75 and $80 depending on your Film Arts Membership status.

This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia, administered in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance.
