New Farm Cinemas presents COMPLICIT: A Michael Haneke retrospective, screening every second Thursday. The simultaneously random and interconnected nature of modern existence comes into harrowing focus in this 1994 feature by Michael Haneke. Seventy-one intricate, puzzlelike scenes survey the routines of a handful of seemingly unrelated people - including an undocumented Romanian boy living on the streets of Vienna, a couple who are desperate to adopt a child, and a college student on the edge - whose stories collide in a devastating encounter at a bank. The omnipresent drone of television news broadcasts in 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance underscores Haneke’s vision of a numb, dehumanizing world in which emotional estrangement can be punctured only by the shock of sudden violence.

New Farm Cinemas: Sun 22 Feb. This uncompromising portrait of domestic turmoil details the emotional breakdown of a suburban housewife and her family’s struggle to save her from herself.

New Farm Cinemas presents COMPLICIT: A Michael Haneke retrospective, screening every second Thursday. Michael Haneke turns the unflinching gaze of the camera back on itself in this provocative, profoundly disturbing study of emotional disconnection in the age of mass-media saturation. Benny (a frighteningly affectless Arno Frisch), the teenage son of wealthy, disengaged parents, finds release in the world of violent videos—an obsession that leads him to create his own monstrous work of real-life horror. Layering screens within screens and frames within the filmic frame, Benny’s Video is a coolly postmodern, metacinematic labyrinth in which the boundaries between actual and mediated violence become terrifyingly indistinguishable.

Regal Graceville & New Farm Cinemas. Advance Screenings: Mon 26 Feb. Nominated for a Golden Globe for his mesmerising, tour de force performance, Ethan Hawke (Before trilogy) stars as Lorenz Hart in Oscar-nominated auteur Richard Linklater’s (Before trilogy, Boyhood) acclaimed biographical drama, BLUE MOON. Blending humour and pathos in classic Linklater fashion, BLUE MOON is a heartbreaking and humorous portrait of one crucial night in the turbulent life of the legendary Broadway lyricist. On March 31, 1943, Lorenz Hart faces an uncertain future as his professional and private life unravels during the opening night party of "Oklahoma!" - a new hit Broadway musical by his former colleague Richard Rodgers (Andrew Scott, All of Us Strangers). As the evening unfolds, a newly sober Hart finds himself at a crossroad, unsure of his place in a world that is rapidly changing around him. Featuring a luminous ensemble cast including Scott, Margaret Qualley (The Substance), and Bobby Cannavale (The Irishman), and anchored by Hawke’s career-best turn, BLUE MOON is as richly melancholic and sharply written as one of Rodgers and Hart’s toe-tapping, heart-stirring compositions.

New Farm Cinemas: Sat 31 Jan. Set on one block of Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy Do or Die neighborhood, at the height of summer, this 1989 masterpiece by Spike Lee confirmed him as a writer and filmmaker of peerless vision and passionate social engagement.

Punctuated by the anthemic refrain of Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power,” Do the Right Thing is a landmark in American cinema, as politically and emotionally charged and as relevant now as when it first hit the big screen.
