Matinees at ACMI Cinemas
Matinee sessions run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout spring with new films beginning every fortnight.
During spring, the matinees program has a pronounced factual thread binding everything together. National Geographic’s new documentary Sally reveals the personal and professional life of the first American woman in space: Sally Ride. Yurlu | Country documents the mining industry’s horrendous impact on country in the Pilbara.
There’s plenty of room for escapism, too. Journey to Zambia for Rungano Nyoni’s Cannes favourite On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, to southern India for Tiger’s Pond and to the Snowy Mountains with the new 4K restoration of Cate Shortland’s Somersault.
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of Billy Wilder’s classic Hollywood tragi-noir Sunset Boulevard, again beautifully restored in 4K.
