June AgendaHighlights.jpg) Film Club: Restless Natives (Monday 2nd June)Restless Natives (1985) is a low-budget comedy film directed by Michael Hoffman and starring Vincent Friell, Joe Mullaney, and Ned Beatty. Filmed in Scotland, the story follows the adventures of two young men who don masks (a clown and a wolf-man) and hold up tourist coaches in the highlands. These modern highwaymen become local folk heroes as well as a tourist attraction in themselves. Click here to find out more about Restless Natives Entry: 2 € (Friends free). Teachers´Art Exhibition Inauguration: Festival Of The Arts (Monday 2nd June)What teachers do when they are not teaching, was the idea behind the first exhibition of work by a group of teachers. It was organised by the Group of the Schools of the Parish of São Brás which has its main office at the school E.B.2,3 Poeta Bernardo de Passos in collaboration with the Museu do Trajo and the Amigos do Museu. Other schools in the Algarve have also participated in this initiative of artistic expression; Escola Secundária José Belchior Viegas in São Brás, Escola Secondária Tomás Cabreira and E.B. 2,3 Dr. Joaquim Magalhães both in Faro as well as a Escola Dr. Francisco Cabrita de Montechoro -Albufeira and the International School of Vilamoura. This Festival of Arts is an annual activity that was begun five years ago by Escola E.B. 2,3 Poeta Bernardo de Passos and its objective is to show the different talents, activities and interests developed by the teachers alongside their normal didactic practices. Every year a different theme is chosen and this school year 2007/2008 the theme is Water. The inauguration of this collective exhibition of teachers’ work, will take place on Monday 2nd June, 2008 at 18.00 in the New Gallery of the Museu do Trajo de São Brás de Alportel.

German Film Club: Sommer vorm Balkon, (International title: Summer in Berlin) - in German with Portuguese sub-titles. Directed by Andreas Dresen (Germany, 2004/5). A charming and stimulating study of two women hitting a midlife crisis in modern-day East Berlin. It manages to be about a lot of other things too - friendships between woman and woman, relationships between men and women, what women really want from men (and vice versa), and about the unpleasant discoveries of adolescence - and it never sugars the pill. If that makes it sound grim, it isn't - it's funny and original, and beautifully acted, and sexy too, and makes you feel the Germans might have a sense of humour - albeit a dark and slightly gritty one - after all. Read about the film in the Internet Movie Database Friday 20th June, 20:00 (Museum Gallery) |

Needles & Crafts Group: Garden Tea Party We will get together with our usual needlework at the normal time of 14:30. But, to mark the end of another very successful and creative year of sewing and crafting at the Museum, an Afternoon High-Tea will be served in the garden at 16:00. I would like you to invite family and friends to join us for this occasion, so we can all celebrate the wonderful work that has been made by all of you as well as the many hours of fun that we had together as a group. In order to minimise the costs and share the preparations for this garden party, I would be grateful if you could assist and bring along a small culinary contribution (cake – cookies – sandwiches – savouries - fruit or other). And, appropriately - to say thank you on behalf of us all - I will ensure that we can also raise a glass of bubbly for this “grand finale” with the Museum’s committee members. Cost: 4€ (Friends 2 €) Tuesday 24th June, 14:30 - 18:00 |
