hi everyone
Been swimming in salt water lately? Sure felt good today! If you haven't had a chance to see Kathleen Frank's lovely paintings in our lobby, make sure to come in this week. Her show is coming down Friday morning and new works will be going up.
On Wednesday 8/19, the Seaside Cinema at Agamont Park co-sponsored with us by the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce and the Camden National Bank is an extra special presentation. Chris will be showing two silent short films, one by Buster Keaton and another from Harold Lloyd, both of which will be accompanied live with the fabulous Fletcher's Landing Philharmonic Orchestra. Showtime is at dusk, should be a fabulous finale to a great summer series! Bring a blanket, grab a complimentary popcorn and we'll see you there!
Below are the films with times for this coming week. See you soon!

TRAINWRECK (R) 122min 6:00 & 8:30
Promiscuous feminist comic Amy Schumer has written an incisive, raunchy and very funny modern romantic comedy in which she stars under the direction of Judd Apatow. Loosely autobiographical, it tells the story of an uninhibited magazine writer whose father taught her that monogamy isn't realistic, a creed that she still follows in her 30s, even though her sister is happily married. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of her latest article, a charming and successful sports doctor (Bill Hader) she starts wondering if other grown-ups aren't onto something. Colin Quinn, Brie Larson, Mike Birbiglia and basketball star LeBron James co-star. trailer

ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL (PG-13) 105min 5:30 & 8:00
Greg is an awkward HS senior who has one friend, Earl, though he would refer to him as a "co-worker" since all their time together is spent making odd small films with punny titles. When Greg's mom tells him about an ill classmate whom he hasn't spoken to in over a decade and insists that he go visit her he's certain she will think it's weird. But eventually they become friends, and decide to make a movie for her. This clever, truthful, very funny and delightful debut film of both director (Alfonso Gomez-Rejon) and screenwriter (Jesse Andrews, adapting his novel) won both the 2015 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award and is not at all what you might expect. trailer
Tues Aug 25 - Thurs Aug 27
TESTAMENT OF YOUTH (PG-13) 129min 5:30 & 8:00
This powerful story of love, war and remembrance is based on Vera Brittain's memoir of her time during WWI. Starring Alicia Vickander (Ex Machina, Anna Karenina), Vera is a strong-willed feminist who would rather attend Oxford than get married, until she meets her brother's friend (Kit Harrington, Game of Thrones) and then she wants both. But war with Germany breaks out and all the young men she knows enthusiastically go off to battle for what they think will be a short and sweet engagement; when the war drags on she decides she needs to be more useful than just studying, and becomes a nurse who goes to the front lines. This feature debut of TV and documentary director James Kent is a beautifully filmed and emotionally resonant film about the consequences of war. trailer
