(904) 254-9524 The St. Augustine Film Society presents The Monk and the Gun (2023) on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the Waterworks.
Written and directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji, this playful drama is set in 2006 — a pivotal year when the Kingdom of Bhutan began its transition to democracy. As a monk is sent off to the mountainside, he encounters an American in search of an antique, 19th-century rifle. The film sends a message about embracing change without erasing the past.
Admission: $8.00 for the public. Students and St. Augustine Film Society members are free.
When: Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Where: The St. Augustine Waterworks is at 184 San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine, Florida 32084.
Getting There: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only, so it is not available to access the Waterworks. Access to the Waterworks is through the St. Augustine Main Library parking lot, on the opposite side of the complex. (Use 1960 North Ponce de Leon in your GPS.)
