recently been working on this print and look forward to presenting the brilliant RKO picture SISTER KENNY starring Rosalind Russell who was nominated for an academy award for her performance in this picture.

45 years ago The Carlton Moviehouse screened a season ( direct from MIFF) of the restored version of Norman Dawn’s 1927 silent feature
FOR THE TERM OF HIS NATURAL LIFE
(It was the most expensive silent film ever made in Australia). It originally screened at the Capitol Theatre Melbourne in June 1927. An amazing spectacle picture unfortunately overshadowed by the introduction of talkies. Continuing our love for silent film we are pleased to screen this gem
this Sun 17th May at 7:15pm. This is the full uncut tinted version. As always bar open at six and celluloid rolling at 7:15 pm. Yes bring your own food.

Hello FilmClub fans and rampaging Radio Springers, great news that we have found writer director Ann Turner’s sensational first feature CELIA , a forgotten Australian classic feature.
“A subtly affecting rights -of -passage drama … beautifully explores the fear which so often explores childhood perception”. Time Out. This screens Thurs 7th & Mon 11th May at 7:15pm. We’re looking forward to screening more Australian forgotten pictures. Sunday 10th May at 7:15pm we’re screening two Val Lewton produced classics, to celebrate his birthday,
THE BODY SNATCHER directed by Robert Wise plus THE LEOPARD MAN directed by Jacques Tourneur. Unfortunately the scheduled print of CAT PEOPLE (42) has vinegar syndrome and for the moment is unrunnable.. We hope to be able to bring it back to a viewing condition in the future but for now it’s in film hospital… If you would like screenings updates please text your name and phone contact to 0408996285. Coming… More film noir, more American pre-code and some great Italian and French films.. and Australian rarities.. Bar opens at 6:00pm. See you at the Henri Langlois Screening Room soon.
