As April 2015 is the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, the film we will be showing is the anti-war epic ‘Paths of Glory’ from 1957 starring Kirk Douglas and directed by Stanley Kubrick. Wikipedia has an interesting entry outlining the events that inspired this movie. Looking forward to the group’s company on April 8th. Jim Casey
Last month the group enjoyed a look at Baz Lurhman’s ‘Strictly Ballroom, a feel good film from 1992. Doesn’t time pass quickly. Wikipedia gives an interesting glimpse into some of the obstacles encountered making the film.

About our Film Discussion GroupDo you enjoy watching films? Or do you want to watch some films but don't know which ones would interest you? Do you find discussing films adds to your enjoyment?
At our Film Discussion Group classes, we discuss films we have watched during the month. This provides an introduction to films that may be of interest to others. Films screened at the Benalla Cinema or Swanpool provide a range of films that could be of interest. Where upcoming films are known these may be discussed at the class to help select films to watch during the following month, and if several people see the same film, this can add to the depth of discussion.
