This week, we feature this year’s Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress, the biggest hit in the French Film Festival’s 27-year history, a prequel to a beloved Australian family film, Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt in a sci-fi romance, and a double feature of very different nocturnal animals!
• Tue 7 Mar @ 7:30 PM: ROSALIE BLUM
The life of a thirty-something hairdresser rotates around his work and his family. But his life changes one morning when he meets the gaze of a grocery store clerk, and begins a search to uncover the truth behind their connection in this feel-good French comedy.
** Presented in partnership with Alliance Française Canberra in celebration of the upcoming French Film Festival. Find out more at www.affrenchfilmfestival.org **
• Thu 9 Mar @ 7:30 PM: FENCES
Denzel Washington directs and stars in this acclaimed adaption of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play about a working-class African-American father struggling with race relations while trying to raise his family in the 1950s. Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress (Viola Davis).
• Fri 10 Mar @ 7:30 PM: NOCTURNAL ANIMALS + AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
In NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, an art gallery owner (Amy Adams) receives a manuscript for a new book from her estranged ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal). She soon finds herself haunted by the violent tale, which she interprets as a veiled threat.
Then, in the 1981 cult classic AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (at approx. 9:30 PM), two American students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists. Directed by John Landis.
• Sat 11 Mar @ **5 PM**: RED DOG: TRUE BLUE
When eleven year old Mick is shipped off to his grandfather’s cattle station in remote Western Australia, he prepares himself for a life of dull hardship, but instead finds adventure and friendship with a scrappy, one-of-a-kind dog named Red in this prequel to the hit 2011 family film.
• Sat 11 Mar @ **7 PM**: PASSENGERS
Part way through its 120-year voyage, a travelling space colony transporting thousands of people malfunctions and two hibernation pods are prematurely opened. As a result, two passengers are awakened, still 90 years from their destination. Starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.
