Kenny @ the Hipp Cinema: September 26 - October 2

Kenny September 26th - October 2nd Best Lead Actor, Australian Film Institute Best Actor in a Lead Role, Best Screenplay - Original, Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards Best Feature Film, Best Script, Best Sound, IF Awards "A triumph both as comedy and character study, KENNY is charming, disarming and funny as hell; the perfect antidote to any disappointing summer blockbuster." — William Thomas, Empire Magazine “All the ingredients of the perfect sleeper.....quirky, very original, something you can’t wait to tell your friends to see." — The London Times This hilariously charming mockumentary, a smash hit in its native Australia (it's popularity spawning a forthcoming Australian TV series), and a crowd-pleasing favorite on the U.S. film festival circuit, finally hits American theaters with the force of a high-powered potty flush. From the biggest music festival to the smallest church social, Kenny Smyth (Shane Jacobson) delivers porta-loos to them all. Ignored and underappreciated, 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 hilarious wit, KENNY lifts the lid on one of Australia's roughest diamonds as he juggles family tensions, fatherhood and raw sewage with charm, humor and unflinching dignity. Part philosopher, part comedian and all heart, KENNY is living proof that in sewage, like life, the best will always rise to the top. 93 mins/ 2006/ Australia/ subt/ PG-13 [Watch the trailer]
