SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 8 August 10.00am – Berlin Hero (Comedy – 1 hr 54 min) All his life\, Michael Hartung\, owner of a hopelessly debt-ridden video store\, has bet on the wrong horse. When an ambitious journalist confronts him with the results of his research\, everything changes for the charmingly melancholy Micha. Many years ago\, as an employee of the Reichsbahn\, he is said to have organized the largest mass escape in the GDR. Stasi files prove the case. He was apparently even imprisoned and then deported to an open-cast lignite mine. Seduced by a lavish salary\, Micha confirms the story\, although only fragments of it are true. 4.15pm – Case 137 (Crime – 1 hr 56 min) Stéphanie (Léa Drucker)\, an investigator at the French National Police General Inspectorate (IGPN)\, is assigned Case 137\, involving Guillaume Girard (Côme Péronnet)\, a young man left in a critical condition after being struck by a rubber bullet during a tense demonstration in Paris. At first\, nothing points to clear police misconduct — until Stéphanie discovers that the victim is from her own hometown\, Saint-Dizier\, turning the case into something far more personal. As she digs deeper\, reviewing surveillance footage\, retracing movements\, and interviewing officers\, Stéphanie confronts the ‘blue wall of silence’ that shields the institution. The few who might talk\, hesitate; those who know more\, refuse to. Her only support comes from Alicia Mady (Guslagie Malanda)\, a chambermaid and reluctant witness whose testimony could unlock the truth — but puts them both at risk of retaliation. Torn between loyalty and justice\, Stéphanie finds herself increasingly isolated within a system determined to protect its own. Set against the backdrop of the gilets jaunes protests\, Case 137 is a gripping\, socially-charged thriller from Dominik Moll\, selected for official competition at the Cannes International Film Festival 2025. 7.00pm – Arru (Drama – 1 hr 35 min – Norway) Sámi reindeer herder Maia fights to protect her ancestral lands from a looming mining project. Amid the growing protests\, she is also confronted with deeply buried family traumas. Maia is forced to make a decision.

SUMMARY:International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 7 August 4.30pm – Ride Away (Comedy – 1 hr 28 min – France) From the Atlantic to the Black Sea\, Mathias and Philippe\, two old friends\, embark on a bicycle journey that Mathias’s son made before his tragic death. The two men ride through the ordeals with tenderness\, humor and emotion. 6.45pm – Colours of Time (Comedy – 2 hr 4 min) Directed by Cedric Klapisch\, this sweeping French drama brings together family mystery\, historical texture and artistic curiosity in a story that moves between contemporary Normandy and the final years of the 19th century. When four estranged cousins inherit a long-abandoned house\, their investigation into its past gradually reveals the life of a young ancestor and opens a wider reflection on memory\, kinship and the way personal histories continue to shape the present. What gives the film its distinctive appeal is the way it combines intimate emotion with a broader cultural backdrop. By linking the story to the emergence of photography and the Impressionist moment in Paris\, it creates a visually rich setting that feels both historically detailed and emotionally immediate. Klapisch’s humanistic style helps the material remain warm and accessible\, while the ensemble cast\, including Suzanne Lindon\, Abraham Wapler\, Vincent Macaigne\, Julia Piaton\, Paul Kircher and Cecile de France\, adds depth and strong cross-generational appeal. Presented Out of Competition at Cannes in 2025\, it arrives with clear prestige and strong appeal for patrons interested in French cinema\, family storytelling and elegant period-inflected drama.

SUMMARY:Opera Australia: "Don Giovanni"
DESCRIPTION:NECOM is proud to present Opera Australia’s newest touring production of Don Giovanni for a once-only performance. It is the last day of Don Giovanni’s life\, but he doesn’t know that.  For opera’s own Casanova\, it’s just another day of pleasure seeking.  Seducing a bride on her wedding day. Breaking into a woman’s bedroom in the dead of night. Killing her furious father. Even before the curtain rises\, Mozart reveals Don Giovanni’s fate.  An earth-shattering chord from the orchestra signals the gates of hell clanging open. The scoundrel’s debauched days are at an end. ***Please note: Don Giovanni will be performed in Italian*** Patron Advice: Suitable for 16+ years; strong/coarse language; mature/adult themes; sexual references

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Angus Nivison
DESCRIPTION:Unfamiliar Territory is a major survey exhibition celebrating five decades of practice by one of Australia’s most respected contemporary painters. Bringing together significant works from public and private collections alongside the artist’s own holdings\, the exhibition traces the evolution of Nivison’s deeply atmospheric and abstract engagement with the land. Based in Walcha in the New England region of New South Wales\, Nivison’s practice is grounded in place yet resists literal representation. His paintings operate within an abstract and affective register\, where landscape persists as an emotional and conceptual presence rather than a fixed image. Through layered surfaces\, subtle shifts of colour and immersive fields of mark-making\, the works invite viewers into experiences of ambiguity\, beauty and contemplation. Marking the largest solo exhibition of his work to date\, Unfamiliar Territory reveals an artist continually pushing the possibilities of abstraction while creating space for reflection\, memory and wonder to emerge through the act of looking.
