SEMESTER TWO HIGHLIGHTS

We reckon that every single film on our new programme is worth a look, but you definitely don’t want to miss these highlights:
• One, Two, Free: we’re kicking things off with three FREE screenings of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, OCEAN’S 8 and SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY. Make sure you invite everyone you know to check out Australia’s best film society on us!
• Annual Trivia Night: forget everything you know about trivia nights (other than your trivia knowledge) and come along for an event unlike any other on Friday 31 August at the Hellenic Club in Woden.
• 14th Latin American Film Festival: we’re hosting this year’s festival with 14 unique films from 14 Latin American countries between August 9 and 27. All screening are free!
• Family Films at Five: we’re screening five family-friendly films at the family-friendly start time of 5 PM, including INCREDIBLES 2, SMALLFOOT and TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES.

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
...............................................................
Two acclaimed indie films, a classic celebrating its 50th anniversary, and one of the most talked-about horror films of the year. We might be winding down our Semester One programme, but there’s still plenty to see!
• FRI 6 JULY @ 7:30 PM: GOOD TIME (MA, 101 min) + HOUNDS OF LOVE (MA, 104 min)
After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, a criminal (Robert Pattinson) embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate – and dangerous – attempt to get his brother out of jail.
Then, in HOUNDS OF LOVE (at approx. 9:15 PM) a murderous couple in 1980s Perth kidnap a teenage girl, holding her captive before making her their next victim. Her only hope is to use her wits to try and drive a wedge between the crazed duo before they can finish her off.
• SAT 7 JULY @ ** 7 PM**: A QUIET PLACE (M, 90 min) + ROSEMARY'S BABY (M, 137 min)
In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence to avoid being discovered by monsters with supernatural hearing. All it will take is one noise for everything to go wrong, in this acclaimed box office hit starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.
Then, in the 1968 classic ROSEMARY’S BABY (at approx. 8:45 PM), a young woman and her husband move into a mysterious New York City apartment building. When she becomes pregnant, she becomes increasingly paranoid about the safety of her unborn child.
