Friends of the National Film and Sound Archive are hosting a special gala screening of the new restoration of Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), presented in partnership with RMIT Australian Screen Research Collection (ASRC).
The event will also feature the opening of a special exhibition of historical materials from RMIT ASRC, and the launch of a new limited-edition volume of critical zine Uncontrolled Excess.
Picnic at Hanging Rock, based on Joan Lindsay’s novel, is an Australian mystery-drama about the unexplained disappearance of three students and a teacher during a school picnic at Hanging Rock on St Valentine’s Day, 1900. The students of Appleyard College explore the rock’s imposing landscape. Miranda, Irma and Marion disappear, along with their teacher. Irma is later found alive but has no memory of what happened.
