PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK

New 4K Restoration! In early-1900s Victoria, a group of schoolgirls head out for a Valentine’s Day picnic at a strange rock formation, never to return. What happened? And what does it mean? Gorgeous and disquieting in equal measure, this mystical mystery from Peter Weir (Gallipoli, The Truman Show) helped usher in the 1970s Australian New Wave.

This screening is presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar taught by Rachel McCabe, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film only? Purchase your tickets from the BMFI website.
