AMORES PERROS (4K Restoration)

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s acclaimed debut returns in a new 4K restoration, bringing its interconnected stories of love, violence and family in Mexico City back to the big screen.
Before the screening, you can enjoy Mexican street food from Frankie’s Tortas & Tacos. At the same time, Mexico City gallery ALMANAQUE-Fotográfica presents works from renowned photographers Yolanda Andrade and Eloy Valtierra, curated by Arturo Delgado.
NO OTHER CHOICE
Wednesday, August 26 – Lido Cinemas, Hawthorn
The latest film from Park Chan-wook follows a seemingly perfect life that slowly unravels, blending dark comedy with psychological tension.
The event will feature Korean snacks from Richmond restaurant Sogumm, alongside an interactive recycled paper-making workshop hosted by Dodgy Paper, where you can create their own handmade paper to take home.
ROSEBUSH PRUNING
Tuesday, September 8 – Brunswick Picture House
Karim Aïnouz’s latest film centres on a dysfunctional family living in a striking modernist home, exploring themes of privilege, desire and hidden secrets.
Ahead of the screening, you can enjoy a “A Perfect Rose” cocktail from Carnation Bar, while Soya Florist transforms the cinema with a floral installation inspired by the film.
