There are two films on offer today at the International Film Festival. One is from New Zealand called Juniper and the other from Iran which looks to be like a family fleeing from somewhere. However, it is billed as a comedy/drama and from the shorts/trailer there certainly seems to be a lot of laughs in it.
The first film isn’t till 2 pm so this morning we’re visiting Vin’s brother and his wife. The brother is just a couple of years older than Vince. We used to see quite a lot of them when we lived in Donnybrook but now they are several hours' drive away.
And we will be house-sitting for three weeks in September and another ten days in October. We’ll still be able to go to the horse rides to take photos so everything is panning out nicely.
The photo is mine which I’ve used before of one of the murals near the cinema.

Someone told me juniper = gin which I should have picked up on earlier but didn't.

Enjoy watching the films of the International Film Festival. I rarely watch films these days as I can't sit for long.

@aninditasen We are often quite stiff when we eventually get out of the theatre.

@JudyEv Yes, I enjoyed seeing films when I was young. My husband and I went both to the theater as well as watched them on the TV. I can't sit for that long now though interested in films.

@Beestring There was one from Japan which was very good but also very long. It was released in cinemas in 2021.

That is some mural. It looks like an Iranian in the pic.

It's a really powerful mural and could well be an Iranian or just an old salt.

I hope those films were entertaining.
Hopefully you both will have a good time while house sitting.
I remember that photo on one of your other discussions, the detail the artist put into the mural is impressive, I like the eyes with all those wrinkles around it, gives the person character.

@judyev I’m not one for mainstream blockbuster movies, but unusual, quirky movies with little commercial control are usually quite good and not mind-numbing. There’s a great cinema in Paris that for 3 months showed 3 Indian films a day - I was in my element. This was before the commercial strangulation of Bollywood and the outpouring of formulaic nonsense. It also coincided nicely with my pregnant wife’s need for comfortable seats, ice cream, an available clean toilet and air conditioning.

There is a lot to be said for a well-appointed cinema, apart from the films of course.

Wow. I'm missing watching movies on cinema. If I'm not mistaken, the last time I've watch on cinema was about 5 years ago.

That is a long time ago. Has covid put you off going to the cinema?
