Zany, Cute, Interesting
AGNSW's latest free film season explores how movies make us feel.
Sitting in front of a big screen isn't a passive experience. Whether you're watching a gorgeous Japanese animated delight such as Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo or viewing one of Martin Scorsese's standouts like 1985 gem After Hours, you're engaging with the film before you. It's flickering through your brain, getting you thinking and also evoking your emotions.
Movies can make us feel everything from joyous to angry — and it's this process that drives the Art Gallery of New South Wales' new free film season Zany, Cute, Interesting. The three words that make up the lineup's title might pop into your head while you're watching your way through the program. Or, you could have other feelings about the aforementioned flicks, plus Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums and Frederick Wiseman's documentary Ex Libris: The New York Public Library.
Other standouts on the bill include 1938 classic Bringing Up Baby, 2014's distinctive The Wonders and 2019's engaging Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project.
Zany, Cute, Interesting's lineup screens on Wednesdays at 2pm and 7.15pm, and on Sundays at either 1.30pm or 2pm, running through until Sunday, May 16. Tickets are free, but bookings are recommended.
