It’s a rom-zom-com and Bill Murray as FDR in this weekend’s double feature. Plus, another one bites the dust as we announce an additional Semester One programme change. Read on for more!
• Sat 15 June @ **7 PM**: WARM BODIES followed by HYDE PARK ON HUDSON
WARM BODIES tells the story of an introspective zombie by the name of R (Nicholas Hoult) in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the undead. When R unexpectedly saves the life of a human girl (Teresa Palmer) from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion events that could change the entire lifeless world.
Then, in HYDE PARK ON HUDSON, it’s 1939 and US President Franklin Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his wife are about to play host to the King and Queen of England. But international affairs quickly take a back seat to FDR’s domestic affairs -- including a relationship with his far-removed cousin (Laura Linney) -- making the weekend an unforgettable one.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMME CHANGE: ‘RUST AND BONE’ ON JUNE 29
................................................................
Due to limited print availability, we regret to inform you that we are no longer able to screen RUST AND BONE as originally scheduled on Saturday 29 June. In its place, we will instead be screening the award-winning film WHERE DO WE GO NOW?, the second feature from acclaimed Lebanese director Nadine Labaki (CARAMEL).
The film tells the story of a remote, isolated Lebanese village in which both Muslims and Christians have lived peacefully together for years, although always on the brink of animosity. When civil strife begins engulfing the country and religious tensions rise, the women of the village conspire to keep their men in the dark through a series of clever schemes in an attempt to avoid escalating the already-delicate situation.
WHERE DO WE GO NOW? will screen at approximately 9 PM, following our screening of the musical drama PERFORMANCE (a.k.a. A LATE QUARTET) at 7 PM. We apologise for any and all inconvenience caused, and will strive to re-screen RUST AND BONE at a later date as part of our upcoming Semester Two programme.
