Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
The short film Holy Calamity! by Charles-Taylen Davis will screen before the feature presentation of The Penguin Lessons at the April 18 and 19 evening showings. Seek out the creative team of Holy Calamity! in the Atrium after the feature showing to learn more about their film.
As part of our commitment to supporting local art, Cinema Fairfield occasionally features short films by area filmmakers ahead of select screenings. While each film reflects the unique vision of its creator, all selections meet our standards for technical quality and content rating. We’re proud to provide a platform for local voices — and grateful to our audience for engaging with the rich artistic spirit of our town.
