Film & Arts Mackay Kicks Off 2025 With A Bhutanese Gem

Film & Arts Mackay is kicking off 2025 with a stellar line-up of films, starting with a journey to Bhutan in the charming The Monk and The Gun. The latest charmer from Oscar-nominated Pawo Choyning Dorji (Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom, which was presented in December 2023), is set in the weeks before Bhutan’s first democratic election in 2006. This delightfully droll and slyly satirical film boasts a string of characters and misadventures, in a tale as suspenseful as it is winning.

Film & Arts Mackay has announced that ticket sales for this year’s screenings will close at 7:20pm, with films starting promptly at 7:30pm. To avoid missing out, patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets online in advance.

The first film night of the year is traditionally busy, with long queues for memberships and tickets. To help streamline the process, Film & Arts Mackay is urging attendees to secure memberships and tickets beforehand via www.trybooking.com/CXOJX.

As always, drinks and nibblies after the film.

Be sure to snatch up your tickets now!
