SUMMARY:TEENAGE SEX & DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA
DESCRIPTION:Horror-obsessed filmmaker Kris (Einbinder) is hired to resurrect an ’80s slasher franchise called Camp Miasma for the new ‘woke’ generation. But in order to avoid the derivative trappings of her studio executives\, Kris is adamant to cast the star of the original as her film’s ‘final girl’\, the sultry recluse Billy (Anderson). Kris quips her “primary partner is her work”\, but as she gets closer to Billy she unlocks the mystery of Camp Miasma\, bringing forth a violent and revelatory psychosexual climax like no other. Erotic\, irreverent\, comedic\, and gory\, Schoenbrun’s latest has the same cinematic flair for synthy nostalgia as their previous cult hits\, marking them a modern auteur to be reckoned with. \nEnter a blood-soaked world of desire\, fear\, and delirium from a director at the helm of contemporary queer cinema.

SUMMARY:TABOO: EGON SCHIELE
DESCRIPTION:Set in Český Krumlov\, the hometown of Egon Schiele’s mother\, Taboo: Egon Schiele offers a bold psychoanalytic reading of the artist’s deep connection to this Bohemian town—both as a physical place and a symbol of maternal longing\, desire\, and confinement. Through Schiele’s paintings\, writings\, and poetry\, the film explores his troubled relationship with women\, his obsession with time and death\, and his raw\, modern vision that is still unsettling today. Drawing parallels with Kafka and the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire\, Taboo: Egon Schiele is a poetic journey into the mind and legacy of one of the most radical artists of the 20th century.

SUMMARY:SILENT FRIEND
DESCRIPTION:From Academy Award-nominated director Ildikó Enyedi (On Body and Soul)\, comes this breathtaking drama\, a beautifully crafted story that unfolds beneath a majestic ginkgo tree in the botanical garden of a medieval German university town. A silent witness to generations of change\, the ancient tree connects three individuals across time through their encounters with the natural world. \n2020: a neuroscientist from Hong Kong explores the mind of babies and begins an unexpected\, mind-altering experiment with the ancient tree. 1972: a young student is profoundly changed by the simple act of observing and connecting with a geranium. 1908: through the lens of photography\, the university’s first female student discovers sacred patterns of the universe hidden within the humblest of plants. As each search for meaning in their own moment in time\, they are transformed by nature’s enduring mystery and beauty. Both intimate and expansive\, Silent Friend is a mesmerising exploration of connection\, curiosity and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

SUMMARY:THE ODYSSEY
DESCRIPTION:Defy the Gods. \nIn a visionary reimagining of Homer’s timeless epic\, Academy Award-winning auteur Christopher Nolan brings a masterful fusion of myth and spectacle in THE ODYSSEY. Starring Matt Damon as the indomitable Odysseus\, this highly anticipated adaptation chronicles the hero’s treacherous journey home after the Trojan War. \nWith a gripping ensemble of talent\, Nolan crafts a mesmerizing tale of survival\, sacrifice\, and defiance. Joining Damon in this star-studded cast are Tom Holland as Telemachus\, Anne Hathaway as Penelope\, Zendaya as Athena\, and Robert Pattinson as Antinous. Charlize Theron\, Lupita Nyong’o\, Jon Bernthal\, and Mia Goth round out the A-list ensemble. \nAfter the dust of the Trojan War has settled\, Odysseus (Damon)\, the legendary king of Ithaca\, embarks on a perilous odyssey across the seas to reunite with his beloved wife\, Penelope\, and son\, Telemachus. But the gods of Olympus – led by the vengeful Poseidon – have other plans\, and each step he takes brings him deeper into a world where the boundaries between man and myth blur. Torn between loyalty\, love\, and vengeance\, Odysseus must confront not only the supernatural horrors that lurk at every turn but also the depths of his own soul. \nWith breathtaking visuals\, relentless pacing\, and Nolan’s signature exploration of the human condition\, THE ODYSSEY is a cinematic tour de force and a journey through the ancient world that is as audacious and ambitious as the hero at its centre.

SUMMARY:HOLY DAYS
DESCRIPTION:In 1970s New Zealand\, young Brian is devastated by the loss of his mother and determined to stop his dad from marrying the woman he sees as her replacement. Convinced he can reach his mother through prayer and penance\, Brian finds refuge at a run-down convent with three delightfully eccentric elderly nuns. But when he overhears plans to shut the convent down and split the sisters apart\, sending the most vulnerable to a terrifying institution\, Brian sparks an unlikely mission: escape to the Southern Alps to find a former nun-turned-lawyer who might just save them all. For Brian\, it’s more than a legal battle—he believes this is the miracle he’s been praying for\, a chance to reunite with his mother atop the sacred mountain\, Aoraki. What follows is a wild\, hilarious\, and heartwarming road trip as a boy and three nuns face down their fears\, outwit crooked officials\, lose a sister to fishmongers\, and even cash a bet shop win\, all while racing against time to save their beloved convent. \nWith its soul firmly planted in faith\, family\, and fierce loyalty\, Holy Days is a joyful comedy packed with heart\, humour\, and high-speed hijinks. It’s a feel-good story about letting go\, holding on\, and finding home in the most unexpected places.

SUMMARY:STOP! THAT! TRAIN!
DESCRIPTION:More sessions coming soon. \nWitness the greatest trainwreck in herstory. \nFrom critically acclaimed director Adam Shankman (Hairspray)\, comes the hilarious queer comedy\, STOP! THAT! TRAIN! an outrageous adventure of two best-friends and their train ride of absurdity. \nBest friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) are train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Florida\, the duo must join forces with the snobby first-class attendants and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy. \nFeaturing an all-star cast alongside RuPaul\, Ginger Minj and Jujubee\, including cameos from Sarah Michelle Gellar\, Matt Rogers and Raven-Symone\, STOP! THAT! TRAIN! is a camp spectacle that celebrates drag with a delightfully absurd sense of humour and a healthy dose of RuPaul’s signature wit.

SUMMARY:Blue Velvet (1986) - 40th Anniversary Screening
DESCRIPTION:There’s something going on behind the white picket fences of Lumberton\, North Carolina. And after stumbling upon a severed human ear in a field\, mystery-loving college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) is determined to find out what. Teaming up with the daughter of a local police detective\, Sandy Williams (Laura Dern)\, Jeffrey’s investigation leads him into a strange world of sensuality and violence\, with the intrigue of the missing ear seemingly stemming from the relationship between a troubled nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and a sociopathic sadomasochist Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper). \nDavid Lynch’s Blue Velvet blends neo-noir mystery with romantic intrigue and suburban satire into a powerful\, transformative film. With a beautiful score by Angelo Badalamenti\, this is a perfect accompaniment to a performance by Beautiful Dark\, but also a perfect fit for any night at the cinema. \nEnjoy it with specially prepared cherry pie at the Theatre Royal Castlemaine. \nNB. The music and the film are separately ticketed events. Tickets to Beautiful Dark and Blue Velvet can either be purchased separately or as a discount package.

SUMMARY:AFTER HOURS (1985) + TRIP REPORTS Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the release of Rich Haridy’s new non-fiction book ‘Trip Reports’\, we’re hosting a launch at the Theatre. The event will feature a Q&A with the author hosted by the Australian Psychedelic Society (APS)\, alongside a rare screening of Martin Scorsese’s yuppie nightmare comedy\, After Hours (1985). \n6:30pm: Book launch + Q&A\nInvestigative journalist Rich Haridy spent two years diving into the world of psychedelic science and medicine in Australia. The result\, his first book ‘Trip Reports’\, begins by taking the reader all the way back to 1960s Melbourne when LSD was regularly prescribed by psychiatrists before shooting forward to the present day where we find microdosing\, MDMA therapy\, and magic mushroom genetics under the research microscope. \nJoin us before the movie for an exclusive\, and likely provocative\, conversation with Haridy\, hosted by APS member and Associate Professor at the National Drug Research Institute\, Monica Barratt. \n7:45pm: After Hours (1985)\nDesperate to escape his mind-numbing routine\, uptown Manhattan office worker Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) ventures downtown for a hookup with a mystery woman (Rosanna Arquette). So begins the wildest night of his life\, as bizarre occurrences—involving underground-art punks\, a distressed waitress\, a crazed Mister Softee truck driver\, and a bagel-and-cream-cheese paperweight—pile up with anxiety-inducing relentlessness and thwart his attempts to get home. With this Kafkaesque cult classic\, Martin Scorsese—abetted by Michael Ballhaus’s kinetic cinematography and scene-stealing supporting turns by Linda Fiorentino\, Teri Garr\, Catherine O’Hara\, and John Heard—directed a darkly comic tale of mistaken identity\, turning the desolate night world of 1980s SoHo into a bohemian wonderland of surreal menace. \n‘Trip Reports’ will be available for sale at the venue and the author will be present for signings before and after the screening.
