LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story

This event has passed

Life is a cabaret, old chum… Certainly Liza Minnelli’s life fits the bill. The daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincent Minnelli, she was born into Hollywood royalty: Money, divorce, addiction, breakdown, ego… these were here birthrights, along with oodles of talent and the mentors to guide her. She’s won Oscars, Tonys, Emmys and Grammys, worked her way through four husbands and multiple love affairs, done her share of drinking, but comes across here as more of a mensch than a diva.

The Way, My Way

Dir. Bill Bennett

All manner of pilgrims flock to France and Spain to walk the 800 km Camino de Santiago. One such is Bill, a stroppy sexagenarian Australian filmmaker who's determined to do the Camino with minimal prep, a dickey leg, and no firm idea why.
