The Reelout Arts Project invites you and your family to join us in laughter and song on Sunday, December 12th in the Wilson Room of the Central branch of the Kingston Public Library starting at 1:30pm as we present SingAlong The Sound of Music! Reelout Family Fundraiser.
Admission is by donation (suggested donation $5) and proceeds will go to our community outreach projects that include Reelout in Schools, Wheelout Reelout and ...Reelout Community Lending Library - all of which promote tolerance, respect and sexual and gender diversity education. Children of all ages and singing abilities are welcome to belt out memorable favourites as the lyrics of each song appear during the film Karaoke style at the appropriate moment. Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume! This film is rated G although some scenes involving the Nazis might be frightening to young children and Julie Andrew's hairstyle might be frightening to some gay men. This event is wheelchair accessible. For more information on this event, please contact Reelout Festival DIrector Matt Salton at director@reelout.com or call (613)549-REEL.  THE SOUND OF MUSIC
dir. Robert Wise
1965/ Colour / USA / 174min. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture! In this true-life story, Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a spirited young woman who leaves the convent to bring love and music to Austrian widower Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) and his seven children.
This beloved classic musical is bursting with memorable classics like "Climb Every Mountain", "My Favourite Things", "Do Re Mi", "Edelwiess", "The lonely goatherd", "So Long, Farewell", "Sixteen going on Seventeen" and many, many more! Thurs, Aug 12th, 8:30 p.m. • Springer Market Square
Reelout is proud to partner with Movies in the Square to present Billy Wilder's classic gender bending comedy SOME LIKE IT HOT to a Kingston audience. Bring your own lawn chair to Springer Market Square in time for dusk to catch Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe in one of Hollywood's finest comedies of all time. Admission is Free.
 Some Like It Hot
dir. Billy Wilder
1959/ USA / 120min. / b&w When two Chicago musicians accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, they trade in their union suits for flapper frocks and hightail it down to Florida as the newest members of an all-girl jazz band. Hailed by the American Film Institute as the funniest American movie of all time and a rare example of queer iconography in Hollywood cinema that doesn't patronize or condemn the notion of homosexuality.
Sat, June 19th, doors open at 10 p.m. • The Mansion
Kingston is the place to be for merriment in June. Yes we have Pride but we also have a mega-celebration of independent musical artists performing day and night starting June 16 and wrapping Saturday, June 19th at 10pm at The Mansion.
