The Film Club runs at 7.30pm on the first Saturday of each month at Coledale Community Hall. 


Regularly hosted by local film expert Graham Thorburn and open to anybody interested in seeing thinking and having fun talking about films; each Film Club session will start with some background information about the film – the times and context of its making the people who made it and something notable about the content or techniques of the film – perhaps even a bit of gossip. After the film screening there will be a chance to discuss the film. 


The March Film Club will screen Planes Trains & Automobiles (1987): 


Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robins) and kids his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy) whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.


Attendance is $7 for SCWC & Screen Illawarra Members and $10 for general admission. Entry fee includes tea & coffee.
