In recent months SwanCon screenings have been getting extremely poor turnouts, to the point where the last screening actually lost money. This is counter productive, not to mention very frustrating for the organisers. We have two more screenings booked for this year ("A Scanner Darkly" on 1st December and "Eragon" on 15th December). Depending on turnout, we will decide whether to continue running screenings after these. If you wish screenings to continue, come along and support us.
That being said, our next screening is "A Scanner Darkly", based on Philip K. Dick's novel by the same name.
This long awaited movie stars Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey, Jr., and Rory Cochrane. According to IMDB, it is an "extraordinary and faithful adaptation", and rates 7.3/10.
"A Scanner Darkly"
645pm, Friday 1st December.
Luna Leederville
$11 a head
25% off at the bar
Due to the rotoscoping of the movie, it has been classified as an art house film, and as such, will not be shown at main stream cinemas such as our usual venue of Reading Cinemas. Our screening will be held at Luna Leederville, and will cost $11 a head. As an added bonus, the bar will be giving us 25% off drinks.
Due to the change in venue, we need to know final numbers by Wednesday 29th November (that's next Wednesday). Please RSVP to me at convenor@swancon.com
We hope to see you all there!
