For Thursday, the 27th July at 6pm we are screening the delightful French film, Driving Madeleine.

Our 8pm screening is the inspiring documentary, Ernest Shackleton: The Greatest Story of Survival.

Both screenings will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre.

Madeleine's 92 and finally leaving her small home for an aged-care facility on the other side of Paris.

Charles, her taxi driver, senses Maddie is in no hurry to reach her destination. So he goes via her old neighbourhood and various other locations which have been significant to Maddie as she shares the major events of her life with him.
