Films shown at Pearl Beach

The Pearl Beach Progress Association has begun running monthly movies at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.

"We will be recreating the old-time movie theatre ambience in our local hall with once-a-month community movies, coupled with a top class 21st century sound system and digital projection," said association president Ms Kay Williams.

The monthly feature will be chosen from the David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz's compendium "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die".

A movie is yet to be chosen for the first screening.

A movie ticket will cost a $10 donation, with proceeds going to the installation of a disabled toilet block and external verandah at the hall.

Film-maker and artist Mr Mike Rubbo will be on hand to introduce the movie and lead a discussion on the finer points after each screening.

The newly reopened "Pearl Beach Cafe" will also provide a Movie Meal Deal main course and movie ticket for $25.
