Next show...

May 16th, 2009: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

In 1968, Alan Arkin was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, and Sandra Locke was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for their roles in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.  Sofa Cinema is pleased to present this film in conjunction with the Lansdowne Public Library, who is participating in "The Big Read".  Adapted from the book, authored by Carson McCullers, the film centers around Singer, a deaf-mute whose small world brings him in contact with a young girl, Mick, who cherishes a seemingly hopeless dream of becoming a concert pianist.  At first hostile, Mick soon becomes friends with Singer, hoping to enlarge his small world.  Three other central characters come to Singer for help also, each of them seeing in him a powerful force. Simply because he is a deaf mute, they are able to create their understanding of his being from their own desires.

Fall Series

Fall Series Thank You

A warm thanks to all who supported us this fall. Our presentation of Babette's Feast was a huge hit just before Thanksgiving.  And thanks also to Pastor David Braneky and Dexter Lancot for hosting our stimulating post-movie discussion.

Our Man Flint was lots of fun, and we loved the costumes folks wore to This is Spinal Tap!

A big thank you to Wee Willie Webber for doing a great job of hosting our Japanimation Retrospective. We all enjoyed watching Tobor, Ultraman, Spiderman and Speed Racer. We were also glad to see Art Baxter (host of last season's animation retrospective) in attendance.  Here he is pictured with Wee Willie.

Thank You

Thank you to all who came out and enjoyed the movies with us this summer.  We had a great time showing Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion with guest host Tsering Wangdi, The Retro Animation Showcase with guest host Art Baxter, Truly Madly Deeply, and Cinema Paradiso.

We are taking a couple of months off to plan our Fall series which will begin September 27th and run every other Saturday through December 6th.

We are also looking for folks interested in joining us and planning the fall series.  Please send us an email if you are interested, at LansdowneSofaCinema@gmail.com.

Also, come say "Hello" to us each Saturday at the Lansdowne Farmer's Market.  We'll be soliciting input for upcoming movies, and selling our delicious popcorn.
