Have you missed us? It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly two months since we wrapped up screenings for 2018. But you’ll be pleased to know that we’re full steam ahead to kick off screenings for the new year on MONDAY 18 FEBRUARY with a free screening of the critically acclaimed SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE at 7:30 PM!
In the Golden Globe-winning animated film, teenager Miles Morales is bitten by a radioactive spider and begins developing abilities strangely similar to those of his hero, Spider-Man. But before he can begin to grasp his new responsibilities, Miles crosses paths with five more Spider-people from alternate dimensions – and must team up with this ragtag group to save the day.
Sitting at an extraordinary 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and featuring a unique animation style that must be experienced on the big screen, SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE will kick off our new programme – and screenings in our new home – in just over four weeks.
Save the date. You’re not going to want to miss this!

FAREWELL TO THE BOOKLET
...........................................................
While most everything you know and love about the ANU Film Group will be carrying over to our new venue in 2019, we regret to announce that we will no longer be printing member booklets from this year onwards.
Booklets have been a staple of the ANU Film Group for more than 30 years, and were an extension of the ‘programme notes’ that were issued to members in the early years of the Group. As the number of films we screened increased, it became apparent that a few loose leaf pages was no longer enough to provide information about all of the films to members.
Much like that change was brought about by programming changes, so too is this one, as our shift to seasonal programming means that printing four booklets a year is no longer practical. We will still be printing our posters and other publications that will detail the full programme, alongside extended film descriptions on our website, but there won’t be a booklet going forward. We apologise for any disappointment caused by this change.
This is also a good opportunity to point out that a copy of every one of our programme notes/booklets since 1966 is currently archived at the National Library, and is publically accessible for anyone who wishes to take a trip down memory lane.
