Film Society screens classics

THE Hobart Film Society is presenting its 77th season of weekly screenings of classic and important films from around the globe, which started last month.

On 13 February the Society will show arguably the best musical film of all time: Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ (1952). Other films from US include ‘Adam’s Rib’ (1949), ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ (1951), ‘Being John Malkovich’ (1999) and ‘Touching the Void’ (2003).

Australian films include ‘Sunday Too Far Away’ (1975), ‘Così’ (1996) and ‘Rabbit-proof Fence’ (2002); while highlights from UK include ‘The Mouse That Roared’ (1959), ‘Sunday, Bloody Sunday’ (1971) and ‘Last Orders’ (2001).

Other films include Jacques Tati’s ‘Playtime’ (France, 1967), Bergman’s ‘The Magician’ (Sweden, 1958), ‘Our Little Sister’ (Japan 2015) and ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ (Spain, 2006).

Weekly members-only screenings (including refreshments) are held at Criterion House in Mathers Place, Hobart from 7.30pm Mondays.

Memberships for twelve months, which include discounts at the State Cinema and Hobart Bookshop, are $52 each or $84 for a double ($47/$77 concession) and are available before screenings or by phoning 0418 127 427.

“When you are on the water, you need to be considerate of others,” she said.

Ms Morris said people also need to be aware of their alcohol consumption while boating.

“We know that people around the state enjoy going offshore with friends and family to fish and water ski - and people like to enjoy a few drinks,” she said.

“The message from MAST is straightforward: ‘Go Easy on the Drink’ –0.05 is the limit - and ‘if you’re the skipper, you’re responsible’.”

MAST’s key safety tips for summer:

• Check the weather

• Check your safety equipment

• Check your fuel

• Tell someone where you are going

• Avoid boating alone

• If in doubt, don’t go out

• Make the right decisions
