Based on the novel by Joan Lindsay, this
film, set in 1901, tells the story of three
schoolgirls who mysteriously disappear while at
a picnic with schoolmates. The film was made in
1975 and was the first Australian film to win
widespread international critical acclaim. It
also launched the careers of director, Peter
Weir, and cinematographer, Russell Boyd, who
went on to win a British Academy Award for his
work on the film.
This restored version, the "Director's Cut",
was completed twenty years after the original.
It remains as compelling, haunting, and
controversial today as it did upon its initial
release thirty years ago. This is a rare chance
to see this classic film on the big screen and
listen to stories afterwards by Dominic Case,
technical lab liaison on both versions of the
film. |
