ONDINE
 A man makes a startling discovery that may or may not be magical in this drama from writer and director Neil Jordan. Syracuse (Colin Farrell) is a fisherman who lives in a small town on the Southern coast of Ireland. Syracuse is an alcoholic, and though he's been sober for two years, most of his neighbors still remember him as a embarrassing drunk, while his ex-wife now lives with another man. Syracuse tries to scratch out a living from the ocean and help support his young daughter, Annie (Alison Barry), who suffers from a serious kidney ailment, but good luck is rarely with him until one day, when he pulls up his nets and finds what appears to be a woman caught in them. To Syracuse's surprise, the woman is alive, and he brings her to shore. The woman is a mysterious and secretive type who doesn't want to tell Syracuse anything about herself or be seen by anyone; Annie proposes that she's a selkie, a mythic creature of the sea that can take human form when it falls in love with the right person. Syracuse almost believes that Annie is right, especially after good luck and good fishing begins coming his way after discovering her, but unfortunately the woman Syracuse has named Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) has certain concerns more pressing than the good fortune of her benefactor. Ondine was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

DO MORE: Sally and Glen at the Palace
Running through August 8
Essential Theatre
“SALLY AND GLEN pays clever tribute to cinema’s glory days … a bittersweet, two-person memory play about the budding friendship between two college kids working night jobs at a one-screen cinema in the Deep South in 1973. It’s a rich setting and playwright Peter Hardy obviously knows the turf … SALLY AND GLEN is an ephemeral, delicate, touching play about missed opportunities … The play crackles with clever lines.”
Mark Hinson, Tallahassee Democrat
Atlanta's Essential Theatre Company would like to offer a 30% discount on tickets to Atlanta Film Festival 365 members for their production of the comedy-drama SALLY AND GLEN AT THE PALACE, a funny and touching play about two college students working together in the lobby of a movie theatre in 1973. It's full of the love of movies and the way they both illuminate and confuse the lives of two young people trying to find their way to growing up. It's about learning, damage, sex and healing. Winner of a Playwriting Award from the New Southern Theatre Festival, this is one of three plays running in repertory as part of the 2010 Essential Theatre Play Festival, performing 7 days a week through August 8 at Actor's Express, 887 W. Marietta Street, Atlanta, GA 30318. (Free parking!) For scheduling information visit www.EssentialTheatre.com.
Use the discount code FILM for a 30% discount on ticket prices. (This discount is only available online, not at the box office -- and besides, buying tickets online is always $2.00 cheaper than at the door anyway! And no service charges!)
