Events
The Astor Academy Film Club has been working very hard this year and we are so very proud of all their accomplishments ✨✨✨
Since January each member of the club has been working on an individual project. We are inviting you to come out to the Astor on May 30 at 7 pm to view their films. Plus they are currently on yet another group project that will be showing that evening as well.
Come on out to our 1st annual film festival and support youth in film 🫶
Join us for another Lunenburg County Film Series Moive at The Astor on Wednesday, June 4th at 4pm & 7pm.
The Penguin Lessons is a 2024 comedy-drama film directed by Peter Cattaneo and starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce. The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on 6 September 2024, before being released in cinemas in the US and UK on 28 March and 18 April 2025 respectively.
The film is based on the 2015 memoir by Tom Michell, a British teacher who taught at a boys’ boarding school in Argentina in the 1970s, with the script adapted by Jeff Pope. After Michell rescued a penguin which he found soaked with oil on a beach in the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este, it kept following him, so he took it back to the school, where it became a popular pet.
Tickets are $10 at the door (general admission) and don’t forget to come early for delicious Astor popcorn 🍿
