We are proud to announce the first season of the Yandoit Cinematheque presented through Yandoit Cultural. Commencing on the 29th of May, the films will run fortnightly on Thursday evenings.

With so many options now to stream films online, this is a fantastic opportunity to come together in a magnificent old church to engage with cinema and stories together.

29th May - Portrait of a Lady On Fire (2019) Céline Sciamma.

12 June - No Other Land (2024) Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham & Rachel Szor.

26 June - Battle Of Algiers (1966) Gillo Pontecorvo.

10 July - Memoria (2021) Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

24 July - La Chimera (2023) - Alice Rohrwacher.

03 August - Embrace of the Serpent (2016) Ciro Guerra.

The films selected will be expansive, from classics from Europe and Hollywood to overlooked Australian Gems to vital Queer Cinema. We will explore many National Cinemas, Indigenous Cinema and documentaries along the way. Contemporary classics will also feature, some overlooked and also difficult to find and deserve to be seen on the big screen.

The three week Membership Passes will be available through Human Tix from a link at the Yandoit Cinematheque instagram and also on the night via card payment.

There will be tea and coffee available and you are most welcome to bring some wine, beer, a hot thermos of tea or cacao to enjoy during the film. Naturally, popcorn is most welcome. Doors open at 7, the film commences at 7.30. Winter nights are here and we recommend bringing a pillow to sit on and a blanket for comfort. Looking forward to seeing everyone engaging with the world of cinema.
