We are busy getting ready for this weekend's MIFF By-the-Sea, our
hand-picked selection of the best of this summer's Maine International
Film Festival. There will be lots of exciting film events and guests, so
be sure to check out the schedule and get in on all the fun! Our website
has additional information on speakers, or stop by for a printed program
booklet. The festival will take up both screens all weekend, so we will
have two midweek films starting on Tuesday.
More news, as I remember to tell you! Chris will be projecting an outdoor
movie in the Bar Harbor Village Green for the ACADIA NIGHT SKY FESTIVAL
coming up next weekend. It will be screened on Friday evening Sept 23rd,
a G-rated, family-friendly film, starting at 7:00pm. The festival is
advertising a byo picnic in the Green starting at 5:30. Bring your
blankets too, as these September nights are getting cooler, but it is sure
to be a fun time. For more information on these events you can check out
their website www.AcadiaNightSkyFestival.com. And be sure to check out
this mid-week's film NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT, a documentary that
juxtaposes the searching for life in the Chile's Atacama Desert, both
across the universe at the observatories there, and from the past,
including pre-Columbian mummies and "the disappeared" victims of the
Pinochet regime.
We hope to see you this weekend!
-Lisa, Chris and Colin

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13) 94min 5:30 and 7:30
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND - LAST CHANCE! The City of Lights in three
separate eras is the setting for Woody Allen's latest literate gem, a
charming and engaging romantic comedy that muses on nostalgia. Owen
Wilson stars as Gil, a hack screenwriter who is working on but unsatisfied
with his first novel. He and his irritable fiancée (Rachel McAdams) have
traveled to Paris with her parents for a vacation. While he revels in the
artistic history surrounding them (he yearns to have lived in the Jazz Age
of the 1920s), she has plans to shop. One night out for a walk alone, he
is invited by a costumed American couple in a stylish old car to a party
and the magic begins.
Tues Sept 20 – Thurs Sept 22
NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT (NR) 90min [in Spanish with subtitles] 6:00
and 8:00
Master Chilean filmmaker and political documentarian Patricio Guzmán
travels to 10,000 feet above sea level to the Atacama Desert where
astronomers gather from all over the world because the clear, dry air
allows them to see to the edges of the galaxy. This clear, dry air also
preserves human remains, from pre-Columbian mummies and 19th century
explorers to the victims of political persecution in the 1970s after the
US supported military coup of the democratically elected President ushered
in the reign of dictator Augusto Pinochet. Today, while the scientists
examine the boundaries of the universe, women relatives of the more
recently missing still search for the remains of their loved ones. In
this haunting, mesmerizing and gorgeous film, the director posits that
astronomy and archaeology are both variations on a quest for life, one
searching the sky, the other the earth.
