Tonight! is the last of the Inaugural Edition of Outdoor Movies on the Village Green for this year. Chris will be showing a classic Harold Lloyd silent comedy SPEEDY which will be accompanied with live music by members of FLETCHER'S LANDING PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. It is sure to be great, and the rain WILL hold off (if I am wrong, we will relocated into the Congo Church, but it isn't going to happen!!) The show starts at 8:30; pre-show before...
This coming week's films are below. Soon you will be receiving information on our 5th MIFF By-the-Sea coming September 13 - 16th, a curated best-of collection of films screened at this July's Maine International Film Festival in Waterville. The lineup looks great! The schedule and some of the film descriptions are on the website (technical difficulties are preventing me from adding the rest; will happen ASAP) Paper versions should be ready this weekend, and I will email to you the info tonight or tomorrow. Tickets will go on sale early next week.
Have a great holiday weekend! Happy First Day of School! See you soon!

RED 2 (PG-13) 116min
Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren reprise their roles as Retired, Extremely Dangerous CIA agents in this extremely silly, mindlessly fun and just plain enjoyable character-driven action comedy. A top-secret mission that went disastrously wrong decades ago might be about to be exposed and this motley, aging crew must track down a missing portable nuclear device that is also being searched for by relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, to save the world and their own lives too.
This funny and poignant coming-of-age story is the directing debut of Oscar-winning screenwriters (for The Descendants) Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. Shy and awkward teen Duncan is about to spend his summer vacation with his overprotective, divorced mom (Toni Collette) at the beach house of her creepy and menacing boyfriend (Steve Carell) and his aloof daughter. Although the girl next door (AnnaSophia Robb) is friendly, Duncan feels totally out of place, but finds refuge at a nearby waterpark, run by affable slacker Owen (Sam Rockwell) and his assistant (Maya Rudolph). The family dynamics are authentic in this witty and delightful gem.
Tues Sept 3 - Thurs Sept 5
This seductive and contemplative hybrid of drama and art-history essay on the power of art to both mirror and alter our lives is the new feature from director Jem Cohen. Johann (Bobby Sommer) is a museum guard who spends his days silently observing the visitors to Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Art Museum. Canadian Anne (Mary Margaret O’Hara) is suddenly called to Vienna from overseas to attend to a comatose relative. With little to do she wanders the streets; a chance meeting with Johann sparks a deepening connection that draws them through the halls of the museum as they linger over the masterworks and explore around the Austrian capital.
