SOME KIND OF HEAVEN (2020) w/ SHANKILL SCREEN

This summer, Normal Cinema Club is bringing you a season of films that are thoroughly delirious, sweaty and sunbaked.

Summer holidays are so nice, it's a shame they can't last forever. But what if they can! In deepest Florida, we find The Villages: the largest retirement community in the world. A dream world of bliss and indulgence, no one could possibly be miserable in a place like this!

Prior to last year's one-two hit of REN FAIRE and SPERMWORLD, Lance Oppenheim made his feature debut with SOME KIND OF HEAVEN. This lusciously lensed doc takes us behind the pearly gates of the Villages and introduces us to some of its residents, and one interloper desperate to get in. Funny and bittersweet, this is a frank look at ageing and luxury, and the dangers of living the dream.

Prior to the feature, we will screen a selection of shorts, including Oppenheim's THE HAPPIEST GUY IN THE WORLD.

Doors will open at 7.30pm, with the first films beginning shortly after 8pm. There will be a short break before the feature. This is a strictly 18+ event.
