THE CONVERT
Monday August 19 10am, 6:30pm Director Lee Tamahori Drama Action New Zealand 119 minutes Guy Pearce stars as a British preacher (Thomas Monro) caught up
A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, Treasure, follows Ruth (Lena Dunham), an American music journalist, and her father, Edek (Stephen Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. While Ruth is eager to make sense of her family’s past, Edek embarks on the trip with his own agenda. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.
Based on the 1999 novel, Too Many Men by Lily Brett
Beautifully acted, the story plays out with honesty, offering insight into generational relationships and the importance of remembering history. It’s also vividly directed by German filmmaker Julia von Heinz with strong period touches. – Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.
The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
Members can book at the Cinema box office or online via the Events Cinema website from 12 noon on the Thursday preceding the Film Society screening date. Members can book a maximum of two tickets in one transaction (ie one for themselves and one for a partner/friend who must also be a member).
