Despite our best efforts to put together a programme of films months before most of them are released in cinemas, we occasionally find ourselves having to make unexpected programme changes. As such, due to recent changes to their theatrical release dates, we are now no longer able to screen GET ON UP and THE BOOK OF LIFE as part of our Semester Two 2014 programme.
GET ON UP on Friday 31 October will be replaced by the previously unscheduled DRACULA UNTOLD, screening at the same start time of 7:30 PM.
DRACULA UNTOLD tells the never-before-told origin story of a warrior (Luke Evans) who makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his family and becomes the legendary vampire Dracula. The perfect film for Halloween!
THE BOOK OF LIFE on Saturday 8 November will be replaced by the night’s intended second feature, THE MAZE RUNNER, now screening at 7:00 PM. The previously unscheduled WORDS AND PICTURES will now screen as the night’s second feature at approximately 9:00 PM.
WORDS AND PICTURES is the latest film from Australian director Fred Schepisi, and stars Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche as rival schoolteachers who compete to determine whether words or pictures are more important.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the changes and will endeavour to screen GET ON UP and THE BOOK OF LIFE as part of a future programme if possible.

ROBIN WILLIAMS TRIBUTE SCREENING: UPDATE
.................................................................
Thanks to the generosity of members at our Robin Williams tribute screening last month we managed to raise over $350 in support of Lifeline Canberra.
All funds raised will go directly towards the on-going recruitment and training of Lifeline’s telephone crisis support volunteers that work to save the lives of those battling depression every day.
.................................................................
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK
.................................................................
There’s only one screening this week due to the university’s mid-semester vacation period with a double feature of two acclaimed foreign dramas from Canada and France.
• Sat 13 Sep @ **7 PM**: GABRIELLE + A CASTLE IN ITALY
In GABRIELLE, a young woman with Williams syndrome and an exceptional musical gift must confront the prejudices of others as well as her own limitations in her quest to attain emotional and physical independence.
Then, in A CASTLE IN ITALY (at approx. 8:45 PM), a family that has fallen on hard times is forced to sell their castle in a poignant tale about family, relationships and mortality. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
The ANU Film Group would like to express our profound thanks to everyone who came along and supported our special events over the past few weeks!
Just last weekend, we held our 8th Annual Trivia Night and a Robin Williams Tribute Screening, with phenomenal turnout and feedback at both. Our Trivia Night was once again incredibly well-received and raised significant funds, all of which will go directly towards allowing us to continue doing what we do best: providing a great and varied selection of films throughout the year.
We're still tallying up the money raised for Lifeline Canberra from the Robin Williams Tribute Screening and will update you as soon as we've finalised numbers, but the generosity of our members -- both new and old alike -- has been tremendous. For those of you who weren't able to make it along, we also screened a special Robin Williams tribute montage before the films on Sunday. Have a look at that on our Facebook page HERE.
Our special event screening of ALLIES on August 13 was also very well attended, as was the fascinating post-screening discussion with our guests Professor Des Ball, Ronin Films' Andrew Pike and 666 ABC's Alex Sloan. If you were amongst those in attendance who wanted to buy a DVD of the film but were unable to do so, please email us at info@anufg.org.au to arrange your copy.

SPECIAL EVENT: ‘ALLIES’ ON WEDNESDAY 13 AUGUST
.................................................................
Our special event screening of ALLIES is coming up fast in exactly two weeks’ time. One of Australia’s great documentaries directed by Walkley award-winning journalist Marian Wilkinson, it has rarely been seen until its resurrection this year by Canberra’s own Ronin Films.
Andrew Pike of Ronin Films will be introducing the film and then afterwards ANU’s Professor Des Ball, who has a significant role in the film, will join us for a discussion. We’re also pleased to announce that Alex Sloan, 666 ABC Canberra’s afternoon presenter, will be coming along to host the post-film Q&A.
The documentary looks at diplomatic relations between Australia and the USA since the Second World War. In the 1960s Australia had committed troops to the Vietnam War and was a staunch ally of the USA. Australia went ‘all the way with LBJ’, and secret US surveillance bases were established. When the Whitlam Government withdrew troops from Vietnam, relations between Australia and the USA became strained.
