For our penultimate week of screenings, we’re serving up some stellar films including a double feature of heartfelt family dramas, Johnny Depp and an all-star cast in a gritty crime thriller, and one of the biggest Australian films of the year. Not to be missed!

• Fri 13 Nov @ 7:30 PM: RICKI AND THE FLASH + COMING HOME

In RICKI AND THE FLASH, a hard-rocking musician (Meryl Streep) who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom returns home, looking to make things right with her family, only to discover that they have moved on.

Then, in COMING HOME (at approx. 9:15 PM), a man who was imprisoned during China’s Cultural Revolution is released and returns home, only to discover that his beloved wife no longer remembers who he is. Directed by Zhang Yimou.

• Sat 14 Nov @ **7 PM**: ODDBALL + BLACK MASS

In the hit Australian family film ODDBALL, an eccentric chicken farmer (Shane Jacobson) enlists the help of his granddaughter to train their mischievous dog to protect the local penguin population from predators.

Then, in BLACK MASS (at approx. 8:45 PM), Johnny Depp plays real-life gangster Whitey Bulger, an infamous and violent criminal who is recruited by the FBI as a secret informant, in return for free and total reign over the South Boston area.
