WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
...............................................................
We’re down to just Friday and Saturday screenings as we close out the last six weeks of our Semester One programme. But fear not – we’re hard at work on our Semester Two programme and hope to be able to share our exciting new line-up with you by early July!
In the meantime, don’t miss a special event this week: one of the very first public screenings of the new Australian indie documentary THUNDER AND DUST, right here at the ANU Film Group. Director Andrew Moore and producer Fiona Scott will introduce the film and then join us for a post-screening Q&A to discuss their love letter to the Sapphire Speedway that has been five years in the making.
• FRI 8 JUNE @ 7:30 PM: THUNDER AND DUST (94 min) + Q&A
A chronicle of the storied history of the Sapphire Speedway near Bega, NSW, and the small, dedicated team of racing fanatics who try to keep their Speedway running in the face of adversity. Followed by Q&A with director Andrew Moore and producer Fiona Scott.
• SAT 9 JUNE @ **5 PM**: PETER RABBIT (PG, 95 min)
The mischievous Peter Rabbit and his fellow animals find their carefree existence disrupted when a new nemesis (Domhnall Gleeson) moves to the countryside and rivals Peter for the affections of the animal lover (Rose Byrne) who lives next door.
• SAT 9 JUNE @ **7 PM**: BRIGSBY BEAR (M, 97 min)
In this offbeat comedy-drama, when a young man discovers that his parents are not who they claimed to be – and that the children’s TV show he grew up watching isn’t real – he must learn how to cope with the reality of a world he knows nothing about.

And thanks to Icon Film Distribution, we also have double passes to give away to American indie drama KODACHROME, starring Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis and Elizabeth Olsen, which is also in cinemas from June 7.
In KODACHROME, a man is convinced by his estranged and dying father to drive across the country to deliver four rolls of Kodachrome film to the last film lab in the world that can develop them, before it shuts down for good. To view the film’s trailer, click HERE.
