April Film

The March film, Waking Ned Divine was a great end to the St.Patrick's Day weekend. A few of us went onto Hardy's Well pub and after a tense tie-breaker won first prize in the pub quiz!

The April showing is not the usual 3rd Sunday of the month but on Sunday 28th April and is an eco-theme film night. The doors open at 5.30pm for refreshments and a chat, then we start with a brief presentation from the Manchester Carbon Coop followed by the film: Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Then onto Hardy's Well.

Waking Ned (1998, 91 mins, PG) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166396/

The lucky winner of the national lottery is Ned Devine, so taken by his good fortune that he now can't be waked, because he died from the shock of it! News of the win spread quickly in the scenic little Irish village of Tully More, but not the secret news of Ned's demise. With lottery officials closing in to confirm the prize claimed by the deceased Devine, Ned's closest friends scheme to keep the prize money close to home, in memory of Ned of course! But as the plot twists humorously, they learn it is hard is to keep such a secret in a small town.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012, 93 mins 12A) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125435/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink's health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.
