In May, we also explore a story of tenderness and turbulence in our Doco of the Month, Because We Have Each Other (2022). Chronicling the story of a neurodiverse family, join us for a documentary that has been five years in the making and stay after the screening for a Q&A with the filmmaker, Sari Braithwaite.
Meet author and actor Heather Mitchell, as she discusses her memoir Everything and Nothing with Bronwyn Parry, and shines an unflinching spotlight on her most formative memories. Paired with a screening of Palm Beach (2019), this event is not to be missed! Signed copies of Heather’s book will be available for purchase.
Beginning this month, Arc cinema presents a series of Friday night cult classics, hosted by Venus Mantrap – a local drag artist and culture warrior. We start with stylish 80s vamp classic The Hunger (1983), starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.
Come and watch Cate Blanchett in Tár (2022), a film about a renowned classical conductor whose life begins to spectacularly unravel. Bundle your screening of Tár with a visit to our exhibition Australians & Hollywood and save up to 15%!
