Bring the whole family along these school holidays to experience the magic of Jim Henson. Henson's creativity has delighted moviegoers around the world for decades; we're excited to share 6 of his films that demonstrate why his work continues to captivate audiences. 

Get your engines revving with our Mad Max-A-Thon! We're screening George Miller's iconic Mad Max series – from Mad Max (1979) to the fantastic Mad Max: Fury Road – Black & Chrome Edition (2015) – to coincide with our latest exhibition, Australians & Hollywood. The exhibition will open late on Friday nights during summer with screening and exhibition ticket bundles available.

At the end of the month we're exploring the inventive and deeply humanistic films of Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. We will be screening 6 of his films from 28 to 30 January in partnership with ACMI and the Sydney Film Festival. You can purchase individual tickets, a Season Pass for all 6 films, or a 3-ticket pass for the Koker Trilogy.

It would be 'inconceivable' to miss the next Arc Out Loud!: a quote-a-long screening of the swashbuckling adventure classic The Princess Bride (1987). And don’t forget Canberra's own horror film The Furies (2019), or our free screening of the confronting but vital documentary Incarceration Nation (2021).

Please help us keep everyone safe by reading and following our COVID-safety and visitor information and don’t forget to get your Club NFSA card when you arrive.
