LABYRINTH OF LIES (M) 122min
Germany, 1958: nobody wants to
look back to the time of the Nazi
regime, so when young prosecuting
attorney Johann Radmann comes
across sensitive documents that
would bring members of the SS
who served in Auschwitz to trial, he
is told to bury the past. He begins to examine the case and
lands in a web of repression and denial, sucked deeper and
deeper into a labyrinth of lies and guilt in his search for the
truth. But what he ultimately brings to light will change the
country forever. Based on true events. Dir Giulio Ricciarelli,
Germany. English subtitles. June 3, 5, 6
FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS (PG) 110min
The true story of a much-loved
New York heiress and socialite who
obsessively pursued her dream of
becoming a great singer. Convinced
of her own talent, the voice Florence
(Meryl Streep) heard in her head
was beautiful, while to everyone else
it was hilariously awful. Her husband, aristocratic actor St
Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), had protected her from the truth
for years. But when Florence decided to give a public concert
at Carnegie Hall in 1944, St Clair knew it was only a matter
of time before her dream would be shattered.
Dir Stephen Frears, UK. June 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17
A MONTH OF SUNDAYS (PG) 110min
Real estate agent, Frank Mollard
(Anthony LaPaglia), won’t admit it,
but he can’t move on. Divorced but
still attached, he can’t sell a house
in a property boom - much less
connect with his teenage son. One
night Frank gets a phone call from
his mother. Nothing out of the ordinary. Apart from the fact
that she died a year ago. Starring LaPaglia, John Clarke, Julia
Blake and Justine Clarke, this warm-hearted gem is about
parents, children, regrets, mourning, moments of joy, houses,
homes, love, work, television, Shakespeare and jazz fusion:
about ordinary people and improbable salvation.Dir Matthew
Saville, Australia. June 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12

The powerful story of Zev
Guttman (Christopher Plummer),
a 90-year-old struggling with
memory loss and living in a serene
retirement home. Shortly after
the death of his wife, he receives
a mysterious package from his
close friend Max, containing a stack of money and a letter
detailing a shocking plan. Both Zev and Max were prisoners
in Auschwitz, and the sadistic guard who was responsible for
the death of both their families escaped Germany and has
been living in the U.S. ever since. The pair embark on a trip to
bring justice to the man who destroyed their lives. Dir Atom
Egoyan, Canada/Germany. June 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19
RUSSIAN ARK (G) 99min
Aleksandr Sokurov’s spellbinding
masterpiece is a multi-award
winning film consisting of one
unbroken camera shot that moves
through St. Petersburg’s Hermitage
Museum. It opened to critical
acclaim upon its 2003 Australian
release and was the highest grossing foreign language film
of the year. It now returns to the big screen remastered in
stunning 2K digital format. An opulent and extraordinary
film which, like the museum itself, captures and shows three
centuries of Russian culture and history in all its beauty,
confusion, terror and majesty. Dir Aleksandr Sokurov, Russia.
English subtitles. June 17, 19, 20, 24

SPEAR (M) 84min
Acclaimed Artistic Director and
Choreographer Stephen Page
brings Bangarra Dance Theatre’s
outstanding dance work to the

weaves story through dance to
deliver an extraordinary cinematic SEE OVER
experience. It follows a young Aboriginal man named
Djali (Hunter Page-Lochard) from the outback to the streets
of Sydney on his quest to understand what it means to be
a man with ancient traditions in a modern world. Featuring
brilliant Bangarra dancers and an evocative David Page
score. One of the most affecting and spiritually resonant
films of the year. Dir Stephen Page, Australia. June 18, 19, 20
Q&A
EVENT:
HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (PG) 101min
A cross-country comedy adventure
based on Barry Crump’s popular
book. Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison)
is a bad boy with a rap sheet almost
as long as the list of foster homes
he’s left in his wake. Sent deep into
New Zealand’s picturesque
countryside to live with Bella and her grumpy husband Hec
(Sam Neill), Ricky soon finds the environment agrees with
him. When unexpected circumstances strike, the reformed
delinquent disappears into the wilderness to evade Child
Services and the likelihood of spending the rest of his
childhood in ‘juvie’. Refreshingly offbeat and entertaining!
Dir Taika Waititi, New Zealand. June 24, 26, 27, July 1, 2, 3
THE MEDDLER (M) 103min
Susan Sarandon, Rose Byrne and
JK Simmons star in this late in life
coming-of-age comedy. Marnie
(Sarandon), an widow from New
York City, follows her single TV
producer daughter Lori (Byrne) to
Los Angeles in hopes of starting a
new life. Struggling to find a life of her own, Marnie cannot
resist involving herself with Lori’s group of friends and
buying their attention with offers of babysitting and generous
gifts. When Lori’s work takes her out of town, Marnie is forced
to reconsider her newfound relationships before meeting an
eligible bachelor while high on more than just life. Dir Lorene
Scafaria, USA. June 24, 26, 27, July 1, 2, 3
THE JUNGLE BOOK (PG) 106min

promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat.
He embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery,
guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera, and the
free-spirited bear Baloo. Along the way, Mowgli encounters
jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at
heart. Features the voices of Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley and Bill
Murray. Dir Jon Favreau, USA. June 26, July 1, 3
