Events Calendar

The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing one of the best comedies of the year, the Australian film "Kenny" (PG-13, Australian with subtitles) on Friday, October 10, 7:30 pm, at the Petoskey Public Library, Carnegie Building. Donations are appreciated.

Australia's surprise hit, "Kenny" is the winner of multiple industry, critics, and audience awards including Australia's Best Feature, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. From the biggest festival to the smallest church social, Kenny Smyth delivers porta-loos to them all. Ignored and unappreciated, he is one of the cogs in society's machinery; a knight in shining overalls taking care of business with his faithful 'Splashdown' crew. Follow Kenny as he tackles every septic challenge that comes his way, culminating in a pilgrimage to that Mecca of waste management, the International Pumper and Cleaner Expo in Nashville, Tennessee - or as Kenny affectionately calls it, "Poo HQ". With fly-on-the-wall honesty and wit, "Kenny" lifts the lid on one of Australia's roughest diamonds as he juggles family tensions, fatherhood and sewage with charm, humor and unflinching dignity.

"It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do...No-one's every impressed; no-one's ever fascinated...If you're a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There's going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don't do it to impress people - it's a job, it's my trade, and I actually think I'm pretty good at it." -- Kenny Smyth, part philosopher, part comedian, and all heart, "Kenny" is living proof that in sewage, like life, the best will always rise to the top.
