KNITTING NANNAS AGAINST GAS FILM EVENT
Knitting Nannas Against Gas are fundraising to go further afield now that the Northern Rivers is gasfield free and to organise their 2nd Viva la Nannalution KNAG Conference. Nannas are driving, flying, travelling by train and by bus all over the countryside to save the land, air and water for the kiddies...and their pensions are dwindling. It costs a small fortune to do the job that the Nannas say we all pay our politicians to do.
 
Join the Nannas for a special film night at the Star Court Theatre on Friday March 11, help them to stock up on wool and needles and fund their quest to support regions in Australia that are threatened or impacted by coal seam gas and coal mining.

MAIN FEATURE FILM:
THE DRESSMAKER

Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham, THE DRESSMAKER is a bittersweet, comedy-drama set in early 1950s Australia. Tilly Dunnage (KATE WINSLET), a beautiful and talented misfit, after many years working as a dressmaker in exclusive Parisian fashion houses, returns home to the tiny middle-of-nowhere town of Dungatar to right the wrongs of the past. 

Not only does she reconcile with her ailing, eccentric mother Molly (JUDY DAVIS) and unexpectedly falls in love with the pure-hearted Teddy (LIAM HEMSWORTH), but armed with her sewing machine and incredible sense of style, she transforms the women of the town and in doing so gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.
