Lights, camera... history.

As part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of The Australian National University, step back to 1967 for a rare screening of The Australian National University—a fascinating documentary that captures the University's early years and the people, places and ideas that shaped its future. Produced by the Australian Commonwealth Film Unit, the film offers a remarkable snapshot of campus life, pioneering research and the growing role of ANU as Australia's national university.

Presented in partnership with the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) and Menzies Library, this special screening invites alumni, staff, students and history enthusiasts to reflect on eight decades of discovery, innovation and community. Whether you remember these halls or are seeing them for the first time, this is a chance to experience ANU through a remarkable historical lens.
