Moving Images: A Season of Australian Cinema

Well, if animation don't float your boat, you may wanna head over to The Substation:

The Substation Moving Images presents
A SEASON OF AUSTRALIAN CINEMA
With Dr Vincent O'Donnell

20 to 25 November 2006
The Substation Theatre
2 to 5pm daily
$15 / $10 concession per session
$60 / $40 concession for whole season
(please note change in pricing)
Tickets available from Gatecrash

Picnic at Hanging Rock by Peter Weir, Sunday Too Far Away by Ken Hannam, and My Brilliant Career by Gillian Armstrong – just to name a few stellar films that marked the rebirth of Australian cinema in the 1970s. By using carefully selected films that explore developments in cinema in Australia over the past thirty years, each of the six sessions will begin with a discussion about the historical and social context of the film for the day, followed by the full screening of the film, and a discussion and analysis. This is a programme for those who like cinema for more than what blockbusters can offer, for those interested in the language of cinema, the emergence of a national voice in cinema, depictions of national identity in cinema, low to medium-budget filmmaking, diversity in national cinema, and cinema history.
