ADELAIDE CINÉMATHÈQUE CHRISTMAS PARTY

10 December

The Adelaide Cinémathèque 2009 season comes to an end with a celebratory night of good old-fashioned sentimentality and nostalgia. Enjoy a Christmas season classic and a comedy short followed by a complementary Barossa Valley Brewing beer at the final Brews & Reviews for the year. As a special Christmas treat, members are invited to bring along a guest along for free so they can share the gift of Cinémathèque with someone new. Happy New Year and see you all in 2010!

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (PG)

Dir: Frank Capra
US 1946 130mins 35mm
George Bailey has devoted his life to the people of Bedford Falls through his modest building and loan company, despite the machinations of rich skinflint Mr. Potter. But on Christmas Eve George loses a large sum of money, in fact hidden by Potter. When the shortage is discovered George fears the worst and, thinking that his loved ones will be better off without him, contemplates suicide. But the prayers of the townsfolk result in an angel coming to earth to assist George. Largely ignored on its initial release, this Capra classic has endured to become a holiday season staple.

Preceded by the classic Laurel & Hardy silent short Big Business (1929)
