Description

How can you measure happiness? The country of Bhutan invented Gross National Happiness to do just that, and Amber is one of the agents who travels door to door to meet people and measure how happy they really are. He is still living with his elderly mother at the age of 40, but is nevertheless a hopeless romantic who dreams of finding love: a happiness agent who is in search of his own happiness. We embark with Amber on a cross-country road trip meeting citizens from all walks of life, reminding us of the fragility and beauty of our own happiness. No matter where we live.

Join us after the screening of Agent of Happiness, a beautifully moving film about the pursuit of joy— not for a Q&A, but  something more personal: Film Fellowship. The film follows an ordinary man with an extraordinary job—measuring happiness. Beyond his story, it invites us to reflect on something universal: What brings us joy? How do we define happiness in our own lives? At Gables Cinema, film is meant to bring people together. Think of Film Fellowship as a chance to engage as people, not just as audience members, share thoughts (or not!), and enjoy good company with a complimentary glass of wine, if you'd like. In a world often divided, moments of connection matter more than ever.

We hope this becomes a tradition, so stay a little longer, sip a little wine, and let’s connect.
