Cinema 10 showing 'The Florida Project' on Monday night in Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM -- Cinema 10’s next film showing will be “The Florida Project,” Monday, March 5 at the Roxy Theater on Main Street.

The 2017 film directed by Sean Baker, director of the iPhone-shot film “Tangerine,” tells the story six-year-old Moonie, who lives in a run down motel in Orlando (managed by Willem Dafoe) just beyond the opulent pleasures of Disney World.

She spends her summer looking for mischief and the occasional ice cream in the company of her young friends, and trying to connect with her rebellious mother.

Ty Burr of the Boston Globe calls The Florida Project “in nerve, guts, heart, and mind - one of the finest films of 2017.”

The film is currently nominated for an Oscar.

The 111 minute picture is rated R for language, disturbing behavior, sexual references and some drug material.

All Cinema 10 films are shown on Monday evenings at 7:15 in the Roxy Theater in Potsdam.

Tickets are $5.50 general admission and $45 per season or $4.50 student/senior and $35 per season.

Cinema 10 is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts.
