Tower Film Society. Screenings every Sunday & Wednesday at Tower Cinemas Newcastle. New Farm Cinemas: Sat 28 & Sun 29 March. From the Oscar®-winning team behind 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers —who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land. Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. Weaving together original footage, intensive Ukrainian Army bodycam video and powerful moments of reflection, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA reveals with haunting intimacy, the farther the soldiers advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that, for them, this war may never end.

Tower Cinemas Newcastle: Tue 24 March (Q&A with director Dianne Whelan). Also screening at New Farm Cinemas: April 11 & 12. 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: Sun 26 April. "Madam, I have seen many examples of perversion in my time, but your erotic obsession with your carpet is probably the most grotesque and certainly the most boring I have ever encountered." Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is an ageing trust-fund kid who has grown accustomed to a life of luxury but squandered all his savings. Desperate to remain a part of high society, he makes a plan to find a wealthy bachelorette and swiftly ‘get rid' of her, inherit her riches and live happily ever after. He spots his perfect target in Henrietta Lowell (director Elaine May), a socially inept heiress and botanist with no remaining relatives. A madcap and macabre romantic comedy, Elaine May's directorial debut, A New Leaf, is feminist gold. May, who initially found fame as one half of a comedic duo with fellow filmmaker Mike Nichols, created a film that enjoyed great critical success and remains "a marvel of comic invention" (The New Yorker) today.

New Farm Cinemas: Sat 28 March. Presented in partnership with Container: Brisbane Film Society. A Plainwater Release. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. Winner of the Golden Shell for Best Film at the San Sebastián Film Festival, this daring documentary features a pre-recorded Q&A with director Albert Serra (Pacifiction). We follow celebrated Peruvian matador Andrés Roca Rey both inside and outside of the bullfighting arena. The film avoids narration or interviews of any kind, preferring to simply observe Roca: fighting in Spain’s grandest arenas, travelling in a van with his entourage, and getting dressed and undressed before and after the corridas in quiet hotel rooms. In its impartiality, Afternoons of Solitude allows us to draw our own conclusions about this ancient custom, with all its pomp and pageantry alongside brutal, obscene violence and cruelty. Serra captures fascinating details: Roca’s team showering him with compliments and praising the size of his manhood after a fight; Roca’s ritual of kissing a portrait of the weeping Virgin Mary by his bed before heading into the arena; the intricate sequinned and embroidered patterns of Roca’s costumes, caked in blood. It’s a mesmeric and unflinching portrait of man and beast, the mythic and the mortal, theatre and death.

Five Star Cinemas - New Farm Cinemas, QLD Friday, Sep 4 from 7 pm to 9:30 pm. Presented by Mountain Designs, the Women’s Adventure Film Tour® (WAFT) returns for its 9th year, celebrating extraordinary women and their thrilling adventures. This year’s line-up features an inspiring collection of short films that highlight stories of courage, connection, and pushing beyond personal limits. From mountain peaks to ocean waves, and from the everyday to the extreme, these films showcase women from all walks of life pursuing their definition of adventure.

Inspired by the greatest love story of all time. From Academy Award and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell comes “WUTHERING HEIGHTS,” starring Academy Award and BAFTA nominee Margot Robbie opposite BAFTA nominee Jacob Elordi. A bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell’s “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness. The film also stars Oscar nominee Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, BAFTA winner Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell. Fennell directs from her own screenplay, and produces alongside Oscar nominee and BAFTA award winner Josey McNamara and Robbie. Oscar nominee Tom Ackerley and Sara Desmond are executive producing. Original songs by Charli XCX.
