Fundy Film continues its Autumn Doc Series with Radiant City, the much talked-about new documentary that had its premiere at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. It screens at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.

Then the film society will screen Waitress, an audience favourite at the Sundance Film Festival, this weekend. Starring Keri Russell as a diner waitress stuck in a lousy marriage whose only solace is baking out-of-this-world pies, Waitress serves up a sweet, sassy and delicious slice-of-life tale as it reveals the power of friendship, motherhood and the willingness to take a chance. Waitress will surely do for pie-making what Sideways did for Pinot Noir.

This flick will screen at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville Oct. 21 at 4 and 7 p.m. and Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. For further information, www.fundyfilm.ca or call 542-5157. Tickets ($8) are available 30 minutes prior to the film.
