Australian Cinémathèque

It’s movie night, with a difference.

Australian Cinémathèque is the cinema within Brisbane's GOMA — and because it's a member of the International Federation of Film Archives, they have access to the best film archives in the world. There are films you won't see on the big screen anywhere else in Australia, and many of the sessions are completely free. On Wednesdays and Fridays (cheap date night, anyone?), Australian Cinémathèque shows flicks from its eclectic range. From contemporary arthouse to historic cinematic fails, rediscovered restored works to cult classics, experimental styles to international oddities — and even silent film featuring live musical performance — a trip here is an absolute must for any true cinephile.
