Bilal (Firat Ayverdi), a 17-year-old Kurdish refugee, has spent the last three months of his life travelling across Europe in an attempt to reunite with his girlfriend who recently emigrated to England. The journey has been difficult, but the end is in sight when Bilal finally reaches the far north coast of France, where he can literally see the white cliffs of Dover across the English Channel. But it is here that his journey comes to an abrupt halt as local authorities, and the immigration laws they are enforcing, prevent him from going any further. Not content with merely looking upon the country he desires to call his home, Bilal devises a plan to swim across the bitterly cold waters of the Channel, and heads to the local swimming pool to commence his training. It is here that he crosses paths with Simon (Vincent Lindon), a middle-aged swimming instructor with a dejected spirit, who is privately reeling in turmoil as he dreads an imminent divorce from his wife (Audrey Dana). Despite their differing ages, the two men discover that they have much in common, and their friendship develops into a strong bond that will prove necessary for both men to realise their dreams for a happy future. A huge box office success in its native France, writer-director Philippe Lioret (Dont Worry, Im Fine) has created an absorbing story that speaks not only of the social issues of the day, but of the very nature of the human spirit.

Three Feathers Cinema presents THE ECONOMICS OF HAPPINESS & TRUCK FARM Saturday 17th September

2011-09-13T08:13:00.001+09:30

Three Feathers Film Club Presents

An Environmental Double Feature

The Economics of Happiness (65mins) and

Truck Farm (47mins)

Saturday 17th September

Doors 7pm for Drinks & Nibbles
Movie at 7.45pm

Hot Soup, Hot Chocolate, Hot Chai & treats available throughout the night!

The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.

We hear from a chorus of voices from six continents including Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet's government in exile, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten and Zac Goldsmith. They tell us that climate change and peak oil give us little choice: we need to localize, to bring the economy home. The good news is that as we move in this direction we will begin not only to heal the earth but also to restore our own sense of well-being. The Economics of Happiness restores our faith in humanity and challenges us to believe that it is possible to build a better world.

CLICK HERE FOR MOVIE TRAILER & INFORMATION

'Truck Farm' is a whimsical, musically-narrated, documentary film about urban agriculture. Filmmaker Ian Cheney (KING CORN, THE GREENING OF SOUTHIE, THE CITY DARK) planted a 1/1000th-acre farm in the back of his 1986 Dodge pick-up-truck in the spring of 2009, after coming to New York City and lacking any other place of his own to grow food. Using green-roof materials, heirloom seeds, and a healthy dose of optimism and humor, Ian created a mobile community farm that yielded a wide range of vegetables and led to the discovery and exploration of other creative, quirky, community-based agriculture efforts all over the city.

Hot Soup, Hot Chocolate, Hot Chai & treats available throughout the night!

A beautiful story strongly encompassing the need to bring a spiritual balance of ecology, love and compassion in today’s world. Originally in French, the movie’s protagonist is Mila who is half earthling and half alien! She lives on a planet far away from ours much more spiritually advanced and ecologically balanced. The alien planet wants to send a representative to Earth to make a check of developments here and gauge the energy levels. What happens after that is what you will know when you watch the movie!

The movie effortlessly brings out the loop-side of our ecological and economical system. And how we are projecting our fears to each other. I feel that if you are here to make a difference to this planet by helping it become more peaceful and greener, The Green Beautiful will help you open your mind to unexplored possibilities. The movie may appear to be fictional, but the story tugs the strings of your heart. A big thumbs-up to portray Eco-conservation in such a special way!

Pioneering Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembene directed this controversial drama which deals in part with the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation (generally involving removal of the clitoris and temporary closure of the vagina), which is still practiced in a number of African nations in the name of "purification." Six girls who are scheduled to undergo the traditional purification ceremony escape, and four make their way to the home of Colle Ardo Gallo Sy (Fatoumata Coulibaly), a wife and mother who is sympathetic to their dilemma. Colle casts a "moolaade" spell, which will bring harm to anyone who attempts to hurt those under Colle's care. Colle finds few supporters in a village where tradition is sacred and change is regarded with great suspicion; the men who rule the tribe and the women who conduct the purification rituals both make their displeasure clear, but none can persuade Colle to vanquish the spell, which the others are obligated to respect. Meanwhile, Colle's daughter Amsatou (Salimata Traore) is facing a dilemma of her own. Amsatou has fallen in love with a young man who will one day inherit leadership of the tribe; a man who straddles traditional and modern life, he shuttles between an office job in Paris and the village of his birth. But, while he cares for Amsatou, her mother spared her from the purification ritual, and now she's uncertain if he will be willing to violate centuries of tribal tradition and wed a woman who is unclean in the eyes of his family. MoolaadÃ (C) was awarded the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

"Warwick Thornton's feature debut is a triumph"

(4 1/2 stars) ****1/2
Full review here.

"SAMSON & DELILAH is Warwick Thornton’s first feature film as writer/director after a number of successful short films and an impressive career as one of this country’s top cinematographers.

Despite its title it bears no resemblance to the biblical story. It’s about two kids, young teenagers in a community in the central desert. Samson, (ROWAN McNAMARA) is a petrol-sniffing layabout who would play music if only his brother would let him.

He fancies Delilah, (MARISSA GIBSON) who looks after her grandmother – played by her real life grandmother, MITJILI GIBSON – and helps her with her artworks.

Delilah is a very self-contained young woman. When her grandmother dies and the community blames Delilah, quite ferociously, she and Samson take off for Alice Springs where they live on the fringe, unable to get life together.

This is for me one of the most wonderful films this country has ever produced. It is exquisitely made, it’s full of discipline. There’s not a spare moment in it.

The two young performers are mind-blowingly good. You enter into their world and you’re rivetted there for the fairly short duration of the film.

There is a European sensibility to it. There’s very little dialogue and there are long sequences, but with Thornton himself behind the camera – handheld in trying conditions – it looks fabulous.

But wait, there’s more...

The emotional punch that Samson and Delilah delivers is one of those rare things in cinema which doesn’t come along very often. And when it does you feel like falling down on your knees in gratitude.

And it’s not because Thornton has gone for sentimentality. It’s the reverse. He’s made a tough little film about love and it’s a knockout." Margaret Pomeranz

Three Feathers Film Club Presents:
Second-Hand Wedding (NZ)

Friday 20th May ~7pm

Every mother wants the best for their daughter’s wedding. And second-hand doesn’t have to mean second best, does it?

Second-Hand Wedding is a heart-warming tale set in a time when TradeMe and e-bay threaten the primeval urge for a first-hand crack at the second-hand. Second-Hand Wedding follows the fortunes of the Rose family, who live on the idyllic Kapiti Coast, where the sunsets are spectacular, parking is still free and bargains abound.

Jill and Brian Rose are happily married and looking forward to their daughter, primary school teacher Cheryl, following in their footsteps when long-time boyfriend, mechanic Stew, proposes. Clouds gather, however, when it becomes clear that Cheryl has issues with her mother’s voracious bargain hunting, which she fears will ruin her wedding.

Covering up the truth has consequences for everyone involved. Will Cheryl be able to get out of the hole she’s dug for herself?

Three Feathers Film Club presents Copacabana Sat 7th May 2011

2011-05-04T19:57:00.000+09:30

Copacabana

One of France’s most acclaimed dramatic actresses unearths her considerable comic talents in the delightful COPACABANA.

Isabelle Huppert is Babou, the ultimate free spirit, an unemployed single mother living in the North of France with dreams of going to Brazil. When her by-the-book daughter Esmeralda announces that she is getting married, and that she is too ashamed of her own mother to invite her to the wedding, Babou decides to make some changes. She takes a dubious job selling time-share apartments during the off-season at the Belgian seaside, and surprises everyone in this surreal environment by becoming the model employee. But Babou inevitably gets in the way of her own success, and must decide how to remain true to her unique self while at the same time winning back the love and respect of her daughter.

Tinged with Samba-flavoured music, this bittersweet comedy features a truly memorable performance from Isabelle Huppert, teamed on screen for the first time with her real-life daughter, Lolita Chammah.

"With a Gallic twist, Copacabana is a quirky feel-good comedy for the kook in us all." Empire Magazine Australia

A selection of French wines & Ciders by Gill From FALL FROM GRACE and Vegan snacks will be available on the night.

Three Feathers Film CLub presents OKURIBITO (Departures) FRIDAY 18th MARCH 2011

2011-03-05T12:03:00.003+10:30

Three Feathers Film Club are please to present OKURIBITO, (DEPARTURES) the Academy Award winning film by director, Yojiro Takita.

"DEPARTURES follows Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki), a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and who is suddenly left without a job. Daigo decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife to look for work and start over. He answers a classified ad entitled “Departures” thinking it is an advertisement for a travel agency only to discover that the job is actually for a "Nokanshi" or "encoffineer," a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life. While his wife and others despise the job, Daigo takes a certain pride in his work and begins to perfect the art of “Nokanshi,” acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. The film follows his profound and sometimes comical journey with death as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living."

It was a hot yet wonderful day and we will definitely be doing another in Autumn next year!

Ticketsare limited as we have expanded our kitchen set up to accommodate the selection of food & wine Gill & Sarah will be providing!

Our French Film for the evening is Le Couperet, a jet-black social comedy from Costa-Gavras (Eden is West. State of Siege, Z, Missing) starring the amazing Jose Garcia (Apres Vous), that puts the merciless world of downsizing, outsourcing and other capitalist trends on the chopping block.

"A husband and father takes an entrepreneurial response after his 2 1/2 years of unemployment following his retrenchment from his job as a highly specialised chemist, inventing decisive ways to cut out the competition for jobs on offer." Stars Jose Garcia, Karin Viard and Olivier Gourmet

Three Feathers Film Club presents THE COLOUR OF PARADISE Friday 19th November 2010

2010-11-13T05:54:00.003+10:30

We would like to invite you to our next Three Feathers Film CLub presentation of the amazing Iranian film, THE COLOUR OF PARADISE on Friday 19th November @ 7.30pm.

Directed by award winning film maker Majid Majidi (Baran, Song of Sparrows, Children of Heaven), The Colour of Paradise is artfully simple and beautifully observant of man and nature.

"Described as 'Stunningly beautiful. A gem." by Stephen Holden of the New York Times. Winner of the BEST PICTURE at the 1999 Montreal Film Festival and other awards internationally, this is a story about an 8 year old blind boy and his relationship with his widowed father. It grabs your heart immediately as the boarding school for blind children in Tehran, where Mohammad attends, is ending for summer vacation. Mohammad is the only child left after all the other parents have picked up their children. He is sitting alone on a bench and hears a baby bird fall out of its nest and chirping on the ground. He also hears a cat nearby. He manages to shoo the cat away and find the baby bird and climb the tree and return it to its nest. Welcome to the world of the blind. His father finally arrives and wants to leave him there. We meet a poor, hard working man from a rural village who has lost his wife and is trying to raise his other two daughters and make a living as best he can. He also wants to remarry and considers Mohammad to be an obstacle to finding a wife. The rest is a wonderful human interest story. The scenery is outstanding. Iran is really a beautiful country in many areas. Many emotions come to the surface during the film. It is a film you can easily watch with children who are mature enough to understand the themes. It is worth watching just to better understand the handicap of being a blind child. If you've seen CHILDREN OF HEAVEN, you know what's in store. Rated PG for mature themes, there is no offensive language or material of any kind. YOU WILL BE DOING YOURSELF A FAVOR BY PUTTING THIS AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST."

Three Feathers Film Club presents LATCHO DROM Friday 10th September 2010

2010-09-01T17:11:00.000+09:30

From the award winning director of SWING & VENGO comes one of the most beautiful films to grace the big screen. Celebrating a way of life over 1000 years old, Tony Gatlif's visually ravishing chronicle is an adventurous and unforgettable cinematic experience. A musical journey through the eyes and ears of Romany's nomadic culture, Latcho Drom , or "Safe Jouney", transcends language and culture, spanning the four seasons as told through the musicians and dancers of India, Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Spain. For these people, music, song and dance are food for the soul: the narratives in which they express their joy and suffering, chronicle their histories, and teach the cultural values of family, journey, love, separateness, and persecution. An enchanting film with passionate dance sequences and dramatic music it is sure to bring out the gypsy in everyone."

What : Latcho Drom (Safe Journey) by TONY GATLIF (1993) When: FRIDAY 10th September
Time : Doors at 7.30pm for drinks & nibbles, Movie at 8pm

2010-03-08T06:52:00.006+10:30

Dear Friends

Well after a much deserved maternity vacation we are ready to kick start the Black Cockatoo Arthouse again for 2010. Life is going wonderfully for all three of us and we are adjusting to parenthood each step of the way!

As for the Black Cockatoo Arthouse? Well, the big news is that as of the end of March we will be known as The Black Cockatoo Arthouse Inc! With our new little girl (ASHARA !) and plans to build a house Sarah and I realised that we could no longer continue to subsidise the Arthouse with our own savings. As much as we love the space, it needs to be self sustaining. Therefore by incorporating we hope to be able to secure more funding grants, philanthropic donations (!) and open the space up for more community organised events. Details on this and our plans will be emailed out very soon!

All the very best and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

cheers & autumn rain

Happy Summer Solstice

Dear Friends

Warm solstice greetings to you all from the Black Cockatoo Arthouse. We hope that the season brings you all that you could wish for for and more, much love, peace and happiness. We wish to thank you all for the support you have given us throughout the year and look forward to seeing you all next year! Many thanks for your support during Lucas Robins wondrous ONE JOURNEY exhibition. We felt both privileged and honoured to showcase the first exhibit of his art and incredible creativity. We are very sure he is an artist who will go places.

As for the Arthouse, it is a time of change and new direction as we head into the exciting and challenging realm of parenthood! One we are very stoked about! Thus the Arthouse will be closed until at least February when we will re-open with a new exhibition. So, all the best and we look forward to catching up with you in the new year.

Cheers

Meet Local Film Maker AARON J MARCH & see his Award winning film HERON's STORY

2009-02-03T22:52:00.003+10:30

Greetings Friends

In 2007 Paulo Coelho had the idea to create a film directed by directors (something that has never been done before in film making history) – each director telling the story of one of the 15 narrators from the book. Paulo invited film makers from around the world to submit their film for potential selection into the final 15. Written, Directed, Edited & Starring (amongst many other things!) local film maker, Aaron J March, HERON'S STORY won first prize out of 6,000 applicants.

We are extremely proud to present the Fleurieu Premiere of this wonderful film and give you an opportunity to meet the film maker, Aaron J March on Friday 13th February 2009.

The film commences at 8pm with a short intermission part way through and a question & answer session after the film.

Delicious snacks & beverages will be available throughout the night.

Bookings are essential so please get in touch as seating is limited.

"Based around the novel by Paulo Coehlo (The Alchemist, Veronika Decides to Die), The Witch of Portobello, Heron's Story is of a woman in her mid twenties - Athena, as told through the eyes and memories of Heron Ryan, a forty four year old journalist. Athena, now dead, some twelve years earlier was a source of fascination, inspiration and above all else love, for Heron.

Heron sits in an English pub, recounting his version of events and his love for Athena, to a man who is writing her biography…

He remembers the magic and the mystery of the times gone by. Heron tells of their first meeting in Romania, their adventures in London, Athena's rise as a spiritual icon, her transformation into a goddess, her powers of intuition, the media frenzy around her and her ideas."
