✨ What a glorious Friday night! 🎶

Fabulous music, incredible energy and the most wonderful community spirit filled the room. A huge thank you to The Shannanigans, Dan, Jade, Janette, and the entire Kinema Team. Your hard work, passion and mentorship have us feeling ready to take on more live events alongside our fantastic film program!

A very special shoutout goes to the wonderful Jade Griffiths, who marked her final official day at the Kinema in the most fitting way possible: surrounded by music, laughter and the community she helped build. What an incredible era from you and your family. You will be deeply missed at the helm, though we look forward to hosting you!

And as a cherry on top, together we raised over $1,000 for the Tilba Halls Project Fund https://gofund.me/947f41c1d, now reflected in their online campaign totals. A little gift from one beautiful old building to another. 🏛️❤️

Thank you to everyone who came along, danced and cheered. See you next time! 🎸

H Is For Hawk
🦅 Sunday 31 May
⏰️ 1.30pm for a 2pm start
🎟 Tickets: https://shorturl.at/KgGiG

This beautiful film starring Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson, 'H IS FOR HAWK' follows Helen (Claire Foy), who, after the sudden death of her father (Brendan Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together.

Helen turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk named Mabel while navigating her profound loss. As she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life.

What begins as an act of endurance, transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

Special 'Housewarming Gift' from a very thoughtful member! Apparently upon seeing this light at a popular local vendor, he considered 'The Kinema' to be just the place for it!

The current focus of this beauty is on the 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' poster (film out tomorrow!) and we have many other ideas and uses for the future.

Thank you again, Mark! We all just love it ❤️
