ACO: The Four Seasons - A Music Film
1 May 2025
The Four Seasons is arguably the most recognisable piece of classical music ever written. This filmed ACO performance, directed by Richard Tognetti, highlights the symbiosis between Vivaldi’s Venice and the Middle East, interspersing Vivaldi’s masterpiece with music by Australian-Egyptian composer and oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros. This special screening is followed by an insightful conversation with ACO Managing Director Richard Evans and film director Matisse Ruby, plus an audience Q&A.
Mickey 17
1 May 2025
Starring Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga, Tenet) and directed by Academy Award Winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite), Mickey 17 is the highly anticipated dramatic and darkly comedic adaptation of Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey7.
Millennium Mambo
2 May 2025
Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s Millennium Mambo captures the sheer weightlessness, inertia, and amnesia of life in contemporary Taipei by focusing on free-spirited bar hostess Vicky (Hong Kong diva Shu Qi) as she floats into the new millennium seemingly unfettered by work, love, or family.
