The Pearl Beach Progress Association is launching a new initiative – Sunday Movie Matinee.
To set the scene, the first screening will be held at 2pm on Sunday, July 23, at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall and will feature The Oyster Farmer, a 2004 Australian romantic comedy and drama.
The film follows a 24-year-old man who runs away to the beautiful Hawkesbury River and finds a job with eighth-generation oyster farmers.
Written and directed by Anna Reeves, it was produced by Anthony Buckley and Piers Tempest and stars Alex O’Laughlin and Diana Glenn.
Producer and Central Coast resident Buckley will present the film and engage in conversation.
Regarded as one of the leaders of the Australian film industry, he began his career with the Sydney newsreel company Cinesound.
In his first foray into feature films he edited Michael Powell’s Age of Consent, Ted Kotcheff’s Wake in Fright and Rudolf Nureyev’s Don Quixote.
His first production as a feature film producer was Caddie in 1975, a winner of 14 awards.
Buckley went on to produce a number of memorable and award-winning feature films including The Irishman, The Night the Prowler, The Killing of Angel Street, Kitty and the Bagman, Bliss (selected for competition in Cannes) and many others.
Bookings are recommended for catering purposes and tickets are now on sale for $20 which includes a welcome drink and refreshments.
The movie is not suitable for children aged under 15.
