Join us... for our Special Event - The Godmother!
Instead of our monthly Ciné-Club, we will run a Special Event screening of The Godmother (2020) on Thursday 1 July at 6:30pm. Our French language students are holding their “class” at The Godmother so a large crowd is expected - join in the fun! Tickets available from Event - $14.50 AF member. From 6pm - complimentary bread & cheese and $5 glasses of Beach House wine "The Godmother is a beautifully crafted blend of French noir, drama and comedy with a triumphant performance by Huppert as a defiantly independent woman making her mark on the world with a bang rather than a whimper."
