Leedy Film Club: Babette’s Feast

Love great cinema and lively discussion? The Leedy Film Club invites you to join a community of film lovers for monthly screenings of classic, international, and thought-provoking films. Each session features a hand-picked film followed by an informal discussion where you can share your thoughts, ideas, and insights with fellow film buffs.

Each screening will be followed by a discussion led by film academic, writer, and filmmaker, Dr Damien Spiccia. Damien has lectured at WAAPA and Edith Cowan University, where he developed courses in screenwriting, film production, and screen history, and has presented at international film conferences.

This is an adults-only event.

August Screening: Babette's Feast

Daughters of a devout clergyman, Martine and Philippa become spinsters on the desolate coast of Jutland, keeping alive their father’s teachings long after his death. But when Philippa's former suitor sends a Parisian refugee named Babette to serve as the family cook, their small world begins to change in a big way. As the dedicated and highly skilled cook Babette serves up new and unusual meal options, the lavish banquets have a major impact on the family's dwindling congregation, not used to the rich flavours of gourmet French cuisine.
