SUMMARY:Tauranga Film Society : Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
DESCRIPTION:The Tauranga Film Society meets every second Wednesday at the Luxe Cinema in Devonport Road. \nFilms are limited to Film Society members. Once you are a member ($120 for the full season or $40 for a 3-film sampler membership) there is no additional cost to see each film.  The 12 month membership period starts at your date of joining.\nFor more info\, contact \nKristine Keir\nEmail: taurangafilmsociety@gmail.com \nThe dates of films are on the  Programme for the Year \nThis week’s film is Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid\nWhen: Wednesday 1st October 6.00pm start\nWhere: Luxe Cinema\, 21 Devonport Rd\, Tauranga \nCheck out the trailer:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RfQ8KlKaTM&t=1s \nand the review below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPat Garrett & Billy the Kid\n\nDirector: Sam Peckinpah (USA)  121 mins \n \n“Sam Peckinpah’s cycle of genre-redefining westerns came to a close with this blood- and dust-caked elegy for the American West\, which marries his renegade style with a fatalistic sense of finality. As newly minted lawman Pat Garrett (James Coburn) stalks the outlaw Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson) across the plains\, their old friendship is twisted into rivalry\, and mythic ideals of freedom come up against an emerging ruling-class order — all to the strains of a haunting soundtrack by Bob Dylan (who also appears as the mercurial Alias). Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid — presented here in a new 4K digital restoration of the 50th Anniversary release — stands as perhaps the maverick auteur’s richest\, most mature work\, a world-weary ballad that bears the solemn weight of history passing into legend.” \n\n\n– Criterion  \n“Set to a haunting soundtrack by co-star Bob Dylan\, Sam Peckinpah’s final western is an elegiac and haunting meditation on integrity\, survival and freedom. James Coburn’s renegade-turned-lawman Pat Garrett hunts down his former friend\, Kris Kristofferson’s Billy the Kid\, with both men chilled by the winds of change. Shot through with a melancholy verging on fatalism\, the film ranks among the director’s very finest works.”\n– BFI Southbank \n“Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid would be Peckinpah’s final  ‘proper’ western… Its quiet notes of fatalism are the fullest development of the more caustic revisionism that Peckinpah’s earlier work displayed\, replacing grisly ultraviolence for its own sake with a meditative study of its aftermath.”\n– Jake Cole\, Slant

SUMMARY:Life Drawing Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Come along to our Life Drawing bi monthly Life Drawing Session\nLife Drawing Session Friday (first and third Friday of the month) \nWhere: 171a Elizabeth Street West\, Tauranga\nKoha: $10.00 for Society Members\, $15.00 for Guests \nLife Drawing\, Figure Drawing… the act of drawing a living person.\nIt’s one of the most challenging and interesting ways to develop your drawing skills. Skills that translate to all aspects of art making.\nIt’s also a great way to escape into your own world for a little while.\nThis is an untutored session\, however\, we won’t leave you completely alone if you are new to it and need a little help getting started. It is a very friendly\, mixed level\, session and you will be surprised what you can learn and achieve with a little encouragement.\nIf you are an experienced artist or student a Life Model will give you unlimited inspiration and a chance to experiment with your technique\, materials and style. And we all appreciate and are inspired by new approaches.\nWe always take time for a feedback session before we leave. This is a positive and invaluable part of the session. It is inspiring looking at what worked during the session and why; sometimes the less obvious “works” provide the most interesting insights. There is always something to learn.\nBring your own drawing/painting gear (any media is fine)\, there is usually sugar paper available for sale at the Art Room. We do have some easels at the rooms\, but they are limited. If you have your own please feel free to bring it along.\nPlease turn up in time to assist with set up\, and stay on to assist with pack down. We are a self supporting group and if everyone helps it is very quick and easy. \nPS:  If you are interested in modelling and are available please feel free to PM me. We love experienced Models\, but are happy to use a sprinkling of “new” models… so don’t be reluctant if you haven’t done it before.
