All good things must sadly come to an end… and such is the case for our Semester Two 2015 programme as we finish up screenings for the year. But fear not – we’re already hard at work on the first half of our 50th anniversary programme for 2016, which is sure to be a very special one.
In the meantime, thank you to all of you for your continued support throughout the year. It has certainly been a memorable one, with Q&As, special guests, mystery screenings, our most successful Trivia Night yet, and of course, many fantastic films that have made us laugh, cry, think, and sit on the edge of our seats.
Please keep in touch over the summer break, as we will continue to send out programme updates, competitions and more via this mailing list. Make sure you also stay tuned to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ANUFG
Finally, if you haven’t already done so, don’t forget to suggest films you’d like to see on our next programme via our website at www.anufg.org.au/suggestions by no later than Sunday 29 November.
See you in 2016!

Thanks to everyone who came along to our special UNSCRIPTED! event on Saturday. We hope you all enjoyed the show!
For those who missed out, the mystery film that we ended up live dubbing was TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE, a 1959 sci-fi ‘classic’ with a hilariously low budget. But in the hands of our improvisers, it became something else entirely as they brought to life the tale of Frank-Hank-Jerry, his fellow aliens on a quest for mayo, Bread Roll Cave, perfume salesmen, the Caterpillar Virus, genital clouds, and the return of the Spice Girls.
Needless to say, it was certainly a very original and entertaining evening – and one that wouldn't have been possible without our fearless and talented performers: Ben Crowley, Brad Hoff and Katherine Green.
..............................................................
SCREENING CHANGE: ‘ODDBALL’ NOW SCREENING ON NOV 14
...............................................................
Due to a last minute availability change, we are no longer able to screen ADAM JONES (now titled BURNT) on Saturday 14 November as originally scheduled. In its place, we will instead be screening the highly successful Australian family film ODDBALL at 7 PM.
On Middle Island in Victoria, Little Penguins have made their home for many years – at least until wild foxes find their way onto the island and begin drastically reducing the population of its native inhabitants. An eccentric chicken farmer (Shane Jacobson) enlists the help of his granddaughter to train their mischievous dog, Oddball, to protect the penguins from the predators.
Based on the heart-warming and incredible true story, ODDBALL has taken Australia by storm, earning over $10 million at the local box office to become the third most successful Australian film this year behind only MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and THE WATER DIVINER. The film also stars Sarah Snook, Alan Tudyk and Deborah Mailman.
BLACK MASS, the acclaimed crime drama starring Johnny Depp, will remain as the night’s second feature starting now at approximately 8:45 PM.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change.
