NOW PLAYING: Two Award-Winning Films at the Connecticut Film Festival

On October 19th, the Bethel Cinema will host the Connecticut Film Festival's annual monthly film series. The two films being shown on that day, starting at 7:00 PM, will be "The Green" and "Caught". The first film being shown: "The Green", won " Best Narrative Feature" at a Connecticut Film Festival which took place earlier this year and was written and produced by Molly Pearson and by Paul Marcarelli, who is most famous for being Verizon's "Can You Here Me Now" guy. It is about a gay teacher accused of having inappropriate relations with a student of his and faces uncertainties from practically everyone he knows. He even loses his trust in his partner when a long lost secret emerges during the investigation.

The second film, "Caught", also won an award at an earlier Connecticut Film Festival, except that this time it was for "Best Dramatic Short Film". This film was directed by Elizabeth Page and written by Lori Martini, who also plays the lead role of the film. "Caught" is about a woman named Hannah, who is a baseball fan who uses baseball as an escape from the chaos of her relationship with her mother and brother. This chaos eventually overcomes the sanctuary that Hannah found in "America's Favorite Pastime". Tickets to see both films are $7.50 for anyone who is 65 or older or 12 and under. Anyone else who would like to attend shall pay $9.50 for admission. If you would like to reserve seats, go to www.bethelcinema.com or contact their box office at 269 Greenwood Avenue. The theater's phone number is 203-778-3100.
