Oooooooooooh! Halloween is coming! To get the season rolling we're showing a vampire film. But don't get too scared - it's a comedy by famed New Zealand director Taika Watiki, creator of "Hunt for the Wilder People" and "Jojo Rabbit". "What We Do in the Shadows" is the story of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav – three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life’s obstacles, like being immortal vampires It’s subtly subversive, subtly satirical, and openly absurd. Come join us at Inlet Theatre on Friday October 9th at 7:30 for a bloody good time.

On Friday September 11th we are proud to present a classic film from the Philippines, "Manila in the Claws of Light". It tells the story of Júlio Madiaga, a young man from the countryside who arrives in Manila on a mission to find his lover Ligaya. While making plans for his search, he must survive the conditions in the capital city, contending with crime and prostitution. It is widely considered to be the best film to ever come out of the country. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote, "The movie's palpable, deeply lived-in realism is among its great attractions, largely because the film isn't just a story about a young Filipino Everyman, but because it's also a de facto record of Manila in the 1970s." Hope you can join us!

On Saturday August 8th the PMFS will be holding its traditional Indoor/Outdoor summer double feature, most likely for the last time! This year we're featuring Japanese adventure and comedy. We start off at 7 PM inside the Inlet Theatre with "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", a warm and engaging anime feature that is a perfect place to start for anyone, of any age, who's been resistant to anime as a popular Japanese import. At 9 PM we move outside to the little amphitheatre behind the Inlet for the classic Japanese comedy "Good Morning" about kids battling their parents over access to technology. This concerns a TV and not an IPhone, but this struggle is eternal. There is nothing quite like watching a film outside on a summer's evening, sharing laughs with a bunch of other folk. For the outdoor show please feel free to bring folding chairs or blankets. Insect repellent is also recommended if mosquitoes like you. Note: If it is raining "Good Morning" will be shown inside the Inlet Theatre. Hope to see you at the movies!

We have a treat in store for you next Friday the 10th! "Chungking Express", a breezy little Hong Kong movie, has abundant life, energy, humanity and sheer visual zing. It’s a sweet-hearted lightheaded meditation of the ups and down of romantic love that should leave any audience walking on air. Hope to see you at Inlet Theatre at 7:30 pm on Friday the 10th.

This Friday (May 8th) we are showing a celebrated French classic film "La Haine". It follows Vinz, a Jew, Saïd, an Arab, and Hubert, a black boxer, over the course of 24 hours in the Parisian suburbs in the 1990s, when diversity coupled with the racist and oppressive police force have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. La Haine (Hatred) was nominated for the Palm D’Or at Cannes, and its director Mathieu Kassovitz won the Best Director award there. Hard-hitting and breathtakingly effective, La Haine takes an uncompromising look at long-festering social and economic divisions affecting 1990s Paris.

Oops! In the Department of "Better Late Than Never" we have a show tonight! It's a documentary called "Breaking Bread" about a cooperative baking contest held in Israel with Israeli and Arab bakers working together to make Glorious Food. It's a taste of humanity (and hummus) that feels very comforting in the current topsy turvy world we're living in. Hope to see you there!

Lest We Forget. It is the tradition of the PMFS to show a film in November that examines the brutality and inhumanity of war. On Friday we are proud to present the Best International Film Oscar winner from 2024, "The Zone of Interest", which shows the daily details of the life of an upwardly mobile N**i couple – the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife, Hedwig – and their children in German-occupied Poland in the summer of 1943. The question this remarkable film raises in the viewer is, “What atrocities do our comfortable lives allow us to ignore?”
