Back due to popular demand!

After a sell-out screening for the Castlemaine premiere, we are thrilled to have THE GREAT WHITE WHALE returning to our big screen, along with Dir. Michael DIllon, to run a Q&A post-film.

Deep in the wild Southern Ocean, halfway between Australia and South Africa, a snowy volcano rears up from the sea like a great white whale. Five times, that great white whale of a mountain tried to kill the first team that sort to reach its summit. Yet in 1963, back they sailed, through the worst seas in the world, this time with legendary explorer Bill Tilman as their skipper. This is the extraordinary tale of those first attempts to climb Big Ben, the smoking glacier-ringed volcano on Heard Island, Australia’s loneliest, most remote outpost, told by those who were there. Including beautifully shot original footage of the expedition, this is one of the most audacious Australian adventure tales of the 20th century.
