The Australian Cinémathèque at GOMA provides an ongoing program of film and video that you're unlikely to see elsewhere. Screenings take place Wednesday and Friday nights and Saturday and Sundays matinees.
Screening in February is 'Perceptions of Light', accompanying the exhibition 'Olafur Eliasson: Presence'; and much more, including our Live Music & Film program.
We offer a rich and diverse experience of the moving image, showcasing the work of influential filmmakers and international cinema, rare 35mm prints, recent restorations, silent films with live musical accompaniment and regular In Conversation events with film creatives.
Most screenings are free; however for ticketed film programs the Cinémathèque Box Office opens one hour prior to screenings and you are able to purchase snacks and refreshments during this time which can be taken into the cinema. As we do not screen commercial trailers prior to films we suggest you arrive early to allow plenty of time to enter and find a seat.
QAGOMA is the only Australian art gallery with purpose-built facilities dedicated to film and the moving image. The Australian Cinémathèque is an Associate Member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), an organisation of the world's leading film archives dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of film.
