I keep an eye on the Cinefamily Vimeo channel and saw the trailer for a Jim Henson program come up.
Also one of the ads made by Jim Henson back in the day
Although it is always good to hear about a Jim Henson film program, I could only watch the trailer and hope it came down to Australia one day. I had enjoyed the Focus on Jim Henson program in 2008 and was looking forward to seeing more Muppet related films and documentaries.
I only went to a couple of the sessions last time plus an “in the studio” event at ACMI, this time I wanted to go see a few more over a couple of weeks.
Sessions booked:
Tuesday September 22nd
Jim Henson: Behind the Seams
Muppets 201: Rarities From the Henson Vault
Tuesday September 29th
Rowlf: A Dog’s Life
Jim Henson: Commercials & Experiments
Saturday 3rd October
Since 2010 I have not been watching the Grand Final and enjoy doing something else on the day. I did go to the Astor Theatre for a few years, but they do not have anything on that day until the evening.
Muppet Musical Moments
Jim Henson’s Tales from Muppetland
Keeping with the puppet theme, I have been seeing updates from the Impromptunes for their new puppet based show.
