Tower Cinemas (Newcastle) & New Farm Cinemas Fri 6th Feb. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behaviour, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time. One of the most influential of all sci-fi films - and one of the most controversial - Stanley Kubrick's 2001 is a delicate, poetic meditation on the ingenuity and folly of mankind.

Q&A tour with director Dianne Whelan. New Farm Cinemas: Sun 8 Mar Tower Cinemas Newcastle: Tue 10 Mar 500 Days In The Wild follows the epic 6-year journey of filmmaker Dianne Whelan as she sets out to reconnect with nature and become the first person to travel the world’s longest trail. The 24,000 km Trans Canada Trail stretches across the continent of North America, connecting the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific oceans. It is the longest trail in the world. For six years filmmaker Dianne Whelan traveled the entirety of the land and water trails, the only person to ever accomplish this journey. 500 Days in the Wild recounts Dianne’s journey by bike, canoe, skis, snowshoes and on foot and her cross-cultural visits with those who live close to the land. This feature doc culled from 800 hours of footage is an intricate weave of adventure film, personal reflection and stunning captures of wildlife and landscapes. Using humour, adventure, beautiful cinematography and a great soundtrack (including songs from Joni Mitchell, First Aid Kit, Xavier Rudd, and The Tragically Hip), 500 Days in the Wild will entertain audiences and inspire hope for the future. She started out alone, disillusioned with state of the world, to look for different ways of caring for the land and for each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story.

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. Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk give unforgettably harrowing performances as a married couple deeply in love but unable to express their ardor in terms the other can understand. This landmark American film is perhaps the most beloved work from the extraordinary John Cassavetes.

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.

New Farm Cinemas & Newcastle: Sat 7 Feb. In the smog-choked dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, blade runner Rick Deckard is called out of retirement to terminate a quartet of replicants who have escaped to Earth seeking their creator for a way to extend their short life spans.

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. Over the course of a single day, the easygoing interactions of a cast of unforgettable characters - Da Mayor, Mother Sister, Mister Señor Love Daddy, Tina, Sweet Dick Willie, Buggin Out, Radio Raheem, Sal, Pino, Vito, and Lee’s Mookie among them - give way to heated confrontations as tensions rise along racial fault lines, ultimately exploding into violence. 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.

Yet as Will pursues a budding theater career in far-away London, Agnes anchors the domestic sphere alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested, but their shared experience sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. From Academy Award® winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love and the healing power of art and creativity. A luminous adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s internationally celebrated novel, Hamnet reframes the story of William Shakespeare through the eyes of his wife, Agnes, portrayed with breathtaking depth by Jessie Buckley, alongside Paul Mescal’s compelling Shakespeare.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival and freshly nominated for four Golden Globes, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT marks a powerful return from master filmmaker Jafar Panahi with a searing moral thriller that blends gripping suspense and dark humour with piercing political inquiry. The film follows Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), an unassuming mechanic who has a chance encounter with Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi), a man he strongly suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor. Haunted by uncertainty and fear of being mistaken, Vahid enlists several former political prisoners, each bearing their own scars from the same captor, to try and confirm Eghbal's identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. What begins as a quest for truth becomes a harrowing and savagely comedic confrontation with conscience, forcing the group to reckon with the cost of vengeance and the possibility of mercy. With complex ideas about the fragility of facts and the weight of moral choice, Panahi turns his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.

From A24 and acclaimed writer and director Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time), and starring two-time Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet, comes MARTY SUPREME, a wildly original sports dramedy that pulses with raw ambition, bruising emotion and Safdie’s unmistakable kinetic energy in his solo directorial debut. Chalamet leads a fearless ensemble including Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Tyler The Creator, Kevin O'Leary, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher, bringing together a cast as daring and unpredictable as the story itself. Marty Mauser is a young man with a dream no one takes seriously. Fuelled by stubborn hope and reckless courage, he throws himself headlong into a brutal pursuit of greatness that tests his body, his relationships and his sense of self. What begins as an underdog story steadily evolves into a gripping journey through obsession, ego, sacrifice and survival, as every win comes at a cost and every failure cuts deeper. Bold, darkly funny and emotionally ferocious, MARTY SUPREME is a high-voltage portrait of ambition in its purest and most dangerous form. With Safdie’s signature intensity and Chalamet delivering one of his most fearless performances yet that is already garnering awards attention, this is a sports film that transcends the genre and lingers long after the final frame. A must-see for lovers of character-driven cinema and boundary-pushing storytelling.

New Farm Cinemas: Fri 27 Feb. John Waters made bad taste perversely transcendent with the forever shocking counterculture sensation Pink Flamingos, his most infamous and daring cinematic transgression. Outré diva Divine is iconic as the wanted criminal hiding out with her family of degenerates in a trailer outside Baltimore while reveling in her tabloid notoriety as the “Filthiest Person Alive.” When a pair of sociopaths (Mink Stole and David Lochary) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to impregnate them attempt to challenge her title, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the word “filth.” Incest, cannibalism, shrimping, and film history’s most legendary gross-out ending - Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability.
