42nd Festival 1995

It was said that cinema began in 1895, with the Lumière Brothers exhibiting their moving pictures to a paying audience in a Parisian café. As such, this year would mark a hypothetical centennial anniversary of the cinematic form. The wide array of films presented would, in a sense, reflect the ever-changing nature of the cinematic form and the current state of international cinema. Films screened included Michael Haneke’s 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance, Abbas Kiarostami’s Under the Olive Trees, Marcel Ophüls’ The Troubles We’ve Seen, Lars von Trier’s The Kingdom, Louis Malle’s Vanya on 42nd Street, Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb and Michael Apted’s Moving the Mountain.

71 years of cinema, conversation and community

We honour the storytelling and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.
