New Farm Cinemas: Sat 3 October. Presented in partnership with Container: Brisbane Film Society and the Institute of Modern Art (IMA). A Plainwater Films release. QLD PREMIERE. When sports photographer Lisa vanished, she was working on an assignment documenting ramshackle football fields across the country. She has left behind a letter for her parents in Tbilisi instructing them not to follow her – a request that her father, Irakli (played by the filmmaker’s own father, David Koberidze), disregards.

A stewardess, a gun runner, a bail bondsman, a federal agent, an ex-con and a stoned-out beach bunny are all on the trail of half-million dollars in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, a mesmerizing, all-star adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch. But who’s getting played and who’s gonna make the big score? “This is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing, and not just a two-film wonder boy. It’s not a retread of Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, but a new film in a new style, and it evokes the particular magic of Elmore Leonard – who elevates the crime novel to a form of sociological comedy. 4 Stars.” – Roger Ebert

New Farm Cinemas & Regal Graceville. Winner of Best Director, Cannes 2026. This stirring, decades-spanning exploration of the lives of gay men across Spanish history is one of the most exuberant, sensual and dazzling films of the year, featuring Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close. Set across three time periods (1932, 1937, and 2017), La Bola Negra (The Black Ball) opens in 1937 during the rise of fascism in Spain. We follow Sebastián, whose village is destroyed before he is conscripted into the fascist army, where he forms a bond with an enemy prisoner. In the second story, set five years earlier, a young scion is black-balled and denied entry into his father’s social club because of rumours about his sexuality. And in the third instalment, set 85 years later, gay historian Alberto is informed he has inherited something from a grandfather he never knew. These three separate stories connect in unexpected ways in this extremely clever and well-constructed film. The images, meticulous and inventively composed, are unforgettable. With extraordinary performances by the ensemble, this sensual drama brings its multiple storylines together to deliver a deeply moving emotional climax.

New Farm Cinemas & Tower Cinemas Newcastle. Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece Metropolis is perhaps the most famous and influential of all silent films—the inspiration for science fiction epics from Star Wars to The Matrix to name just two. However the Metropolis we have seen until now has been incomplete—the product of desperate distributors and overzealous editors in the 1920s. For years, it was believed that the Lang’s original 2½ hour cut had been lost to time. Until 2008, when a cache of film was discovered at Buenos Aires’ Museo del Cine in Argentina. More than 25 minutes of ‘new’ footage has now been painstakingly restored. Accompanied by a new recording of Gottfried Huppetz’ original score, Metropolis is the crowning achievement of German Expressionist cinema. Nearly 100 years after its first release, Lang’s vision of a dystopian future—where the rich live in splendid luxury, while a literal underclass toil in a vast subterranean workshop—can be seen as the director originally intended "Each frame of this classic is drop-dead stunning." - New York Daily News "An eternal masterpiece." - Daily Telegraph (UK) "A visually awe-inspiring science fiction classic from the silent era." - Rotten Tomatoes "Here is the starting-point of so much modern cinema." - Independent (UK)

New Farm Cinemas: Sun 25 October. Remastered in stunning 2K, Alexander Sokurov’s spellbinding masterpiece RUSSIAN ARK is a multi-award winning film consisting of one unbroken camera shot that moves through St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum. It’s a staggering work of art, an impressive technical feat that is also cinematic poetry of the first order. It was the highest grossing foreign language film of the year upon its 2003 Australian release, grossing just over 2 million at the box office. As Sokurov’s camera glides through 33 rooms of the Hermitage, moving in and out of cathedral-like galleries, opulent ballrooms and shadowy corridors and workrooms, three centuries of Russian history and European art are compressed into a single 96 minute shot. In the dreamlike journey, an unseen modern filmmaker (voiced by Sokurov) is joined by a somewhat scornful French diplomat, the Marquis de Custine (Sergey Dreiden). We see the great paintings of El Greco, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens and others in the Hermitage treasure trove, discussed by the Marquis and other aficionados. At the same time, as if in a nightmare, we keep getting glimpses of Russian history: Peter the Great manhandling a general; Russia’s last Czar, Nicholas II, dining with his family before the revolution or receiving emissaries from Persia; and Catherine the Great attending an opera and desperately running around in search of a restroom – or later wandering out into a snowy courtyard. An extraordinary film, one that, like the museum itself, captures and shows three centuries of Russian culture and history in all its beauty, confusion, terror and majesty.
