"Picnic At Hanging Rock" at The Queen Theatre
- Admission: Free for Film Society Members, $10 for others.
"Picnic at Hanging Rock" is a hauntingly beautiful motion picture set in the Australian countryside, where a group of schoolgirls vanish during a hot summer day in 1900—and are never seen again. More than just a mystery, the film is an unforgettable experience full of eerie atmosphere, a rich soundtrack, stunning natural scenery, and a deep sense of wonder and unease.
Declared the greatest Australian film of all time by the Australian Film Institute, it’s the kind of slow-burn, hypnotic big screen experience that stays with you long after the lights come up. If you enjoy true stories, unsolved mysteries, or just a movie that makes you feel something different, this is one you’ll want to see in a rare theatrical showing fifty years after it first stunned the world.
