We’re kicking off the month of May by opening up film suggestions for our Semester Two 2018 programme!
Do you have a film that you think we should show between mid July and late November this year? Whether it’s a new release, an up-and-comer, or a classic favourite, let us know by completing a suggestion form at www.anufg.org.au/suggestions
We encourage you to submit your suggestions online, but if you wish to fill out a printed form, these can also be made available on request at the front desk at any screening.
Next semester could very well be the last programme in our current digs, so be sure to make your suggestions count!
