Hit flick screens

Fundy Summer Films screens Son of Rambow July 27. A boy raised in isolation among a puritanical sect that forbids music and movies encounters a pirated Rambo flick and is soon shooting his own mad-cap action epic with a new chum. While hiding the project from The Brethren, the young filmmakers are catapulted into popularity at school because of it. A hilariously fresh, visually inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the death-defying adventures of growing up in the video age.

It will screen at the Al Whittle Theatre, Wolfville, at 8 p.m. Tickets ($8) are available 30 min before screening. www.fundyfilm.ca or 542-5157.
