April at Arc Cinema
Arc Cinema Program at the NFSA – April 2021
We are excited to announce the full line-up we have in store for you in Arc Cinema for the month of April!
Bring the kids and get into the Easter spirit with Hop crafts and an Easter egg hunt in the courtyard (3 April).
This month we have some great school holiday entertainment for kids both big and small. Take a trip down memory lane with classic Disney animation Peter Pan for those who never want to grow up. You can save England with Sophie and The BFG or help Coraline solve the mystery of the mysterious Other World. Many more adventures await you in April in Arc Cinema (7 to 16 April).
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is back for Arc Out Loud this month. Dress to impress and – Dammit, Janet! – we are going to sing and dance the night away. Rice will be thrown (23 April)!
This April we have a special focus on director Catherine Scott in our Girls to the Front series. Catherine has worked as a documentary filmmaker for 25 years, producing great content for both film and TV. We are screening Scarlet Road and Country Town Pride with a special Q&A with Catherine after the screenings (9 to 10 April).
We are thrilled to be bringing you two David Lynch classics: The Elephant Man and Mulholland Dr. Don't miss Lynch’s beautifully complex representations of the human condition (17 April).
Our Mervyn Bishop exhibition continues this month at the NFSA and we are proud to host a special curator talk + Q&A. See the exhibition after-hours and hear curators Coby Edgar (Art Gallery of NSW) and Tara Marynowsky (NFSA) in conversation about curating cultural exhibitions (29 April).
And so much more! Come join us for a month of special screenings and events and grab your Club NFSA loyalty card when you arrive.
