We're very pleased to introduce our inaugural outdoor cinema season, as an extension of our community program this summer. Seventh Cinema offers a series of film programs focused on exploring cinema as a space of social discourse, exchange and solidarity. Running from January to March 2024, in collaboration with guest artist Kori Miles, we've curated film screenings on a public cinema, which will be temporarily installed on the north facade of the gallery, overlooking our lawn and Citizens Park.
Over seven weeks, our project will unfold with weekly film screenings featuring a short film followed by a feature. Our pilot season focuses on exploring the intersections of ecocriticism, neo/colonialism, and global climate change. We zoom in on global colonial expansion and its persistent effects on the environment, human rights, and culture. Through our film selection, we emphasise the resilience embedded in global First Nations and other marginalised cultures' struggle for self-determination. Themes of storytelling, family, social justice activism, home, resistance, and transformation are central to our program.
We will launch the season on January 25, on the eve of Invasion Day, with a screening of Tracy Moffat's 'Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy' and Rolf de Heer's 'Ten Canoes,' narrated by Australian icon David Gulpilil.
Screenings are free to attend and all are welcome. For more details and a comprehensive schedule of screenings and associated activities, please keep an eye on our website and socials.
