Elliman film series returns

The Island Now

The Elliman Film Series returns for its second season to Soundview Cinemas in Port Washington this month. Each month the series will present exclusive film previews and behind-the-scenes conversations with filmmakers, actors, and film industry insiders.

The first film to be shown in the series will be “Wild Canaries” on Monday, Feb. 23, 7:30 p.m. In this fun and comedic throwback to classic mysteries, newly engaged Brooklyn couple Barri and Noah set out to investigate the death of their elderly neighbor, but uncover some unsettling secrets along the way. There will also be a filmmaker Q&A after the film.

In March the series will offer “Cupcakes” on Tuesday, March 17, at 7:30 p.m. As light and tasty as the title suggests, “Cupcakes” follows a diverse group of friends in Tel Aviv whose lives get thrown into the spotlight when their song unexpectedly gets picked as Israel’s entry in the Universong competition.
