Our city runs a Summer and Winter Film Festival which shows a variety of film genres from around the world. The twelve films are shown mostly three times each at varying times from Thursday to Sunday and over a period of a month. February is the month chosen for the Summer Film Festival. We’ve managed to see five films so far and it’s now the last week. We’ve seen two films today at 2.30pm and 6.00pm,we’ll see two tomorrow at 2.00pm and 5.30pm then another on Sunday at 11.00am. You wouldn’t think it would be so hard to see twelve films in a month but every Festival we find ourselves cramming the last few films into the last few days. The photo is of the figures on the front of the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre (BREC).

I have not been to a theater in years and nor do I have the patience to sit through watching movies.

I think that's why we don't watch a lot of TV. Unless, it's rivetting we get bored.

That building look ultra modern. People aren't going to the movies much these days. Alot of the theaters are closed due to Covid anyway. I have only seen two films since the pandemic started...and the theaters I saw them in are now cloased..hopefully not permanently!

Next to this building is a cinema complex with four theatres. It seems there is only two films running there at the moment. We have to log in or write our names on a contact sheet but that's the only precautions at the moment.

It sounds like you're having fun as you find ways to watch them all. The picture of the BREC is lovely.

@JudyEv I hope they can get everything secured so the artwork doesn't fall.

We had to use other stairs yesterday as some artwork in the foyer was in danger of coming down. I must take a photo of that too as it has more figures in various poses.

@just4him I have a photo of it somewhere but can't find it for the moment. I need to do some tidying up of my photo files.

We're pretty pleased at only missing one. There will be a Winter Film Festival probably over the month of June or July.

@DocAndersen I find some of the foreign films very intriguing. The next - and last - was shot in Iceland. We saw a wonderful Icelandic film last festival too.

International Film Festival of India was recently held in our city. There was so much of hype around this festival but I did not dare to go to theatre to watch the movie.

@judyev Is it a bit overwhelming seeing so much in a few days? I used to binge watch at an art house cinema in Paris, partly because I love old Indian films, partly because it was a cheap day out with my pregnant wife who always needed to be near a toilet.

Yes, it's not ideal but it's either that or miss out. We seemed to have stuff that clashed earlier in the month. Going to the wedding took out three possible film days for starters.
