Tick tock… The clock is counting down to the end of screenings for the year. There may only a few more films to go, but we’re going to give you plenty bang for your buck over the next week and a bit.
This Saturday we will be screening not one, or two, but three films. First up, be sure to come along to see acclaimed Colombian director Ciro Guerra in person at at the special start time of 2 PM. We’re very lucky to have the Oscar-nominated director pay us a visit during his trip to Australia, and attend our Q&A screening of his 2009 film, THE WIND JOURNEYS. Find out more and RSVP by clicking HERE.
And don’t forget to suggest films you’d like to see on our Semester One 2018 programme by going to www.anufg.org.au/suggestions. Suggestions close next week on Saturday 25 November!

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
.............................................................
In addition to Ciro Guerra’s visit to the ANU Film Group at Saturday’s matinee screening, we also have a double feature of two very different ‘horror’ films later that evening.
• SAT 18 NOV @ **2 PM**: THE WIND JOURNEYS + Q&A W/ DIRECTOR CIRO GUERRA
A musician travels the villages of northern Colombia, playing traditional songs on his accordion, a legendary instrument said to have once belonged to the devil. When tragedy befalls him, he embarks on one final journey to return the supposedly accursed instrument to its rightful owner.
** Presented in partnership with the Embassy of Colombia **
• SAT 18 NOV @ **7 PM**: MOTHER! + AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL
In MOTHER!, a writer (Javier Bardem) and his young wife (Jennifer Lawrence) find their tranquil existence disrupted when uninvited guests arrive at their home, straining their relationship. Darren Aronofsky (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) directs this controversial horror film that is not for the faint of heart.
Then, in AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL (at approx. 9:15 PM), former US Vice President Al Gore follows up his Oscar-winning 2006 documentary to address the progress made in tackling escalating climate change, as he travels the globe to persuade governmental leaders to invest in renewable energy.
