This Mental Health Day, October 10 a new film called The Girl on the Bridge is being released at Limelight Cinemas. Alexis Paulson, Limelight's General Manager is available for interview on her thoughts about the film. “This one is extremely close to home for me and my team”.
“With the loss of close friends, and assisting with mental health challenges within my team every day, there is a film coming out soon that I want to absolutely shout from the roof tops as a MUST SEE. The film is called “THE GIRL ON THE BRIDGE”, and is an extremely powerful film around mental health challenges. Prior to COVID-19, I understand that mental health was a huge challenge within our society, but since COVID-19 and it's challenges and heartache have hit, it's never been more important to open the conversation & discuss it even more openly. It's a huge focus for myself, and my team and we are extremely passionate about EVERY ONE seeing this film. For those battling or friends with, or of even strangers with mental health challenges, we think this film is incredibly important, now more than ever.”

Unfortunately in August they had to cancel the annual screenings of Andre Rieu's Maastricht Concert because the concert was unable to go ahead in the Netherlands, so instead the have ANDRE RIEU: TOGETHER IN MUSIC screening from October 15.
And since we can't go to concerts at the moment, they have another concert screening – THE THREE TENORS. The incredible Luciano Pavarotti on the big screen, in full surround sound! The closest we'll get to a concert at the moment.
They also have a number of Australian films which are noteworthy, and hopefully will keep them going over the next few months whilst they wait for the US & UK to recover a little for blockbusters to actually be able to release.
