WEDNESDAY nights at Orana Cinemas just keep getting better, with new and intriguing, creative and mind-blowing films brought to Albany by Film Harvest Great Southern.

A Trip to Spain will be shown on August 30.

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon feature in this light-hearted film about the two mens’ explorations through Spain, touring some of the best restaurants for the UK’s Observer.

September 6 kicks off another strong month with the screening of An Inconvenient Sequel.

Al Gore’s tireless efforts to fight for climate change action reappear 10 years after the release of his first film, An Inconvenient Truth.

The sequel goes behind the scenes and in front of the cameras with Gore as he travels the world, training climate change advocates and influencing international climate change policy.

Ali’s Wedding will be screened on September 13.

Starring Osamah Sami as a teenage Muslim boy in Australia, Ali’s Wedding follows Ali’s life after high school.

His small lie about his exam score being high enough to get into medicine starts to turn on him, whilst he struggles with falling in love with a girl who is not his betrothed and trying to make his father proud.

Toni Collette and Rossy de Palma shine in the September 20 screening of Madame.

Palma stars as Collette’s housemaid in a beautiful Parisian manor house, where Collette hosts a luxurious dinner party for her sophisticated friends.

To her horror, there will be an uneven 13 guests at the table, so Collette disguises her housemaid as a Spanish noblewoman to even out the numbers.

Palma accidentally catches the eye of a wealthy British art broker, and the film follows their blossoming, unconventional romance.

September will wrap up with the intense political thriller Tiyaan on September 27.

This Indian Malayalam film explores current socio-political issues in India and has had strong reviews.

The film crosses different time periods and tells an intense story of how ‘when miracle meets man, epics are born’.
