Lost in the desert, caught between air and clouds…

Ever heard of “Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds” by Alex Proyas? This quirky, mesmerising Australian cult gem rarely graces the screen – and now’s your chance to see it on the big screen!

Join us at “Science. Art. Film.” at the Arc Cinema for a screening like no other. After the film, we’ll dive into its unforgettable landscapes, iconic costumes, and explore how films like this shape our imagination of Australia.

Our post-film discussion features an extraordinary dream team:
Dr Mitzy Pepper, evolutionary biologist obsessed with lizards and deserts &
Dr Hawthorn King, fashion scholar specialising in wit and postcolonial fashion!

No prior knowledge needed – just bring curiosity and questions. This is your chance to see a cult classic AND hear insights from experts who will make you look at the film (and Australia) in a whole new way.

Canberra film lovers, this one’s not to be missed! 🤓 https://tickets.nfsa.gov.au/Events/Science-Art-Film-Spirits-of-the-Air-Gremlins-of-the-Clouds
