Shot at the iconic Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy during the European leg of the Faith Tour in 1988, the film captures a turning point that transformed George Michael from a global superstar into a singular, era-defining artist, whose influence continues to reverberate across music, fashion, and culture today. George Michael: The Faith Tour invites audiences to experience the tour as it was meant to be seen and heard. Directed by longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin, this once lost film has been meticulously restored and remastered, revealing George’s original vision with breathtaking clarity and power. The result is an intimate yet explosive glimpse of an artist in complete command of his voice and stagecraft. A triumph in archival filmmaking, the film transforms footage assembled from a 14-camera shoot captured on 35mm film over two nights, into an extraordinary cinematic event. George Michael: The Faith Tour is a celebration of ambition and fearless artistry at its peak, and a moment when the then 24-year-old George Michael changed the course of his career. This global theatrical event invites audiences to rediscover the power and joy of George Michael in full flight. George Michael: The Faith Tour will open with an original short film by Mary McCartney, titled ‘Finding Faith’, offering an intimate introduction contextualising the tour’s cultural significance, through a sensitive and cinematic lens. In George’s own words, the film features voiceover from an unheard interview alongside unseen images captured by legendary American photographer Herb Ritts, and behind-the-scenes footage of the Faith music video. Alongside the theatrical release, George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment will release THE FAITH TOUR, an 18-track live album of previously unreleased recordings featuring hits from George Michael’s Wham! and solo catalogues. Recorded during his groundbreaking world tour, the album showcases George’s extraordinary vocal talent and skill as a live performer. More details on the album to come. George Michael: The Faith Tour film will be released worldwide in theatres later this year. Additional details, including release dates and territories, will be announced soon.

Q&A screenings. The Elizabeth Picture Theatre: 15th of November 6pm. Tower Cinemas Newcastle: 20th of November 6.30pm. The Garden Island Pirates are the best para ice hockey team in Western Australia. There’s no competition … literally. A scrappy, mixed-gender group of amateurs, they strap on sledges to play against one another as stoically deadpan founder and would-be figure-skater Dan Perrett calls the shots from the sidelines. Booking the rink is half the trouble, and much of the group’s time away from it is spent negotiating volunteer committee positions and wrangling sponsorships. That all changes, however, when three women on the team earn the opportunity to represent Australia in its first-ever Women’s World Championships in Slovakia. Scheduled to compete against heavyweights like Norway and the United States in a bruising, physically demanding sport, the newcomers aren’t given a snowflake’s chance in hell – but that doesn’t mean that they’re not about to go down swinging.

New Farm Cinemas & Tower Cinemas Newcastle. Advance Screening: Wed 11 November. In this astounding new high-wire act of self-reflexivity from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, created in secret, convicted Silicon Valley fraudster Elizabeth Holmes becomes an entirely different kind of camera subject. In a seemingly endless parade of documentaries, dramatisations, and exposés, Elizabeth Holmes, the inventor of a purported “miracle” medical device at her company Theranos, and sentenced to prison for fraud, has been the face of Silicon Valley hucksterism. Yet in this astounding new film from Fielder (The Rehearsal, Nathan For You, The Curse) and Oppenheim (Primetime), created in secret over the past four years, Holmes becomes an entirely different kind of camera subject. Inviting Fielder into their home to live with them and start recording their lives just 34 days before her incarceration, Holmes and her romantic partner, William “Billy” Evans, profess her innocence on their own, intimate terms. Is this all an elaborate ruse? Or is something even stranger afoot? Fielder and Oppenheim have created a fascinating portrait of a relationship, decimating notions of objectivity in documentary while also interrogating the limits of fiction. This blistering, head-spinning—and frequently hilarious—high-wire act of self-reflexivity keeps changing shape and uncovering surprises as it swerves headlong into the unknowable.
