You need to book tickets directly and can first become a member ([Join the Club](https://www.classiccinemas.com.au/join-the-club) FREE option is available) at Classic Cinemas to [book for the 12:00pm session](https://www.classiccinemas.com.au/tickets?c=0000000002&s=129467).

Classic Cinemas are over the road from Elsternwick Train station and there are trams along Glenhuntly Road near the corner or Gordon St. We can meet in the foyer at 11:45am for the midday film. We can email, text or speak beforehand: melbourne@humanistsaustralia.org - contact Akiva on 0411 255 158. **Humanism** supports peace, democracy, the rule of law and universal human rights. **[Humanists Australia](https://www.humanistsaustralia.org/)** seeks to educate people about humanism to lead an ethical, meaningful and fulfilling life. **Australian Premiere** One of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century, the German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about the human condition, the banality of evil and totalitarianism. This new documentary tells the story of Arendt’s life and work using first person accounts from Arendt, brought to vivid life with voiceover from acclaimed actress Nina Hoss, plus accounts from her friends and colleagues and new interviews with scholars and students of Arendt. They trace her resistance against the Nazi regime, her work to help Jewish children escape to Palestine, her complex 50-year relationship with German philosopher Martin Heidegger, and her time in a prisoner of war camp before fleeing to the United States. Today, as authoritarianism rises and threatens democratic institutions, Arendt’s works, including the landmark ***The Origins of Totalitarianism***, have topped best seller lists around the world, and her warning that “we must face what is happening now” rings truer than ever. The film will be preceded by a video introduction from Dr Simon Holloway from the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.

50+ Filmmakers/Actors Gather Every Wednesday - Join Us!

Join us every **Wednesday at 5 PM** at the Emporium food court (located behind Grill’d Burger Restaurant in the CBD, not near Melbourne Station) for a dynamic networking event tailored for filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts.
