Overview

The first rule of film club is you don't talk about film club. But we're going to make an exception — if only so we can talk about it here. Besides, we're super excited about the NGV's latest initiative, a monthly movie discussion night hosted by local film expert Ben Buckingham.

The talks will take place in the NGV Members Lounge, although they're open to non-members too. Each film up for discussion will tie in with a current exhibition at the gallery. Case in point: as part of the current Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei exhibition, their first film club screening is Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy Some Like It Hot, starring cultural icon Marilyn Monroe.

Enjoy a drink (or several) with your fellow crazed film lovers, delve into the themes of the movie, its history and its impact. Tickets are $16 for NGV members and $20 for non-members.
