The April film screening is ‘The Eagle Huntress’, which tells the story of a young girl (Aisholpan) who is training to become the first female eagle hunter in 12 generations of her family.  Billed as a documentary, Otto Bell has since faced questioning about whether any of the scenes were ‘staged’ for the purpose of the film.  True or not, this is a beautifully shot film set in the stunning mountains of Mongolia.

You can watch the trailer here and you can see the full film at the Killara Centre, Camperdown on Thursday 5th April at 7.30pm.

Our March screening is on Thursday 1st March at 7.30pm.  This crime/drama tells the story of the police inspector who hunts for poet/politician Pablo Neruda after he goes into hiding in 1948.  This film has subtitles, which will be displayed at the top of the screen.  Come along early to snag a front row seat!

Here at the Corangamite Film Society, we find that the best way to express ourselves is through film.  So to say THANKYOU to our members for a fabulous year, we’re offering a free screening in December – come along and see ‘Tanna’ on Thurs 7th December, 7.30pm in the Killara Centre, Camperdown.  We ask that you bring a plate of supper to share – we want to be able to thank Christine (The Minister for Suppers) and give her the night off too!  Hope to see you there…

Our September film ‘Elle’ is an adaptation of Philippe Djian’s book ‘Oh…’

The question is – which is better, the book or the film?  And should you watch the film before or after you’ve read the book?  Decisions, decisions…
