Port Fairy Film Society will host two screenings of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at the Reardon Theatre, with a matinee at 1pm and a night showing from 7.30pm.
The film is an adaption of John le Carré’s Cold War thriller about a Soviet mole in the British secret service and spy George Smiley’s efforts to uncover the mole.
Turned into a successful mini-series in 1979 starring Alec Guinness as Smiley, this big-screen version maintains the Cold War setting and stars Gary Oldman as Smiley.
Oldman was nominated for a best actor Academy Award for his turn — one of three Oscar nominations Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy received.
The film also stars Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Benedict Cumberbatch, Toby Jones and John Hurt.
Port Fairy Film Society is screening the 1944 musical Meet Me In St Louis as part of its classic matinee series on Tuesday from 1.30pm.
Other future screenings for the group include fund-raiser showings of the Oscar-winning movie The Descendents on May 4 and the romance Letters To Juliet on May 15.
Corangamite Film Society continues its season on May 3 with a double bill featuring Australian drama Eye Of The Storm and French thriller Hidden. They screen from 7pm at the Killara Centre.
