What upcoming films are you most excited about? A return to the worlds of Star Wars and Harry Potter with ROGUE ONE or FANTASTIC BEASTS? Superheroic antics with the likes of DOCTOR STRANGE or LOGAN? Prospective Oscars hopefuls like LA LA LAND or Martin Scorsese’s SILENCE?
The choice is yours! Go to www.anufg.org.au/suggestions to suggest films for our next programme. Printed forms are also available at all screenings until the end of the year.

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
................................................................
With only four weeks of screening left, you don't want to be missing any of the remaining films on our programme. This week, magical corpses, talking animals and the return of the one and only Bridget Jones make for a zany and entertaining week at the ANU Film Group.
• Fri 28 Oct @ 7:30 PM: SWISS ARMY MAN + A PERFECT DAY
In the weirdly wonderful SWISS ARMY MAN, a man (Paul Dano) marooned on an island discovers a corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) washed up on the beach and befriends it. He soon finds that his new friend possesses a myriad of supernatural powers and together they embark on a surreal journey home.
Then, in A PERFECT DAY (at approx. 9:15 PM), a group of international aid workers must work to resolve a crisis in an armed conflict zone when they attempt to retrieve a corpse from a well in war-torn former Yugoslavia. Starring Benecio de Toro, Tim Robbins and Olga Kurylenko.
• Sat 29 Oct @ **5 PM**: THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS
In this box office hit from the humans behind DESPICABLE ME, Max the terrier finds his world turned upside down when he discovers that an adorable white bunny named Snowball is deviously assembling an army of abandoned pets in order to take revenge on all happily-owned pets and their owners.
• Sat 29 Oct @ **7 PM**: BRIDGET JONES’S BABY
Forty-something and single again, Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) decides to focus on her job and surround herself with old friends and new. But in an unlikely twist she finds herself pregnant, with one hitch: she doesn’t know who the father is. Also starring Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey and Emma Thompson.
