Every weekend, drop in for free documentaries in the NFSA Theatrette. Thought-provoking Australian documentaries will show on rotation each season, offering a window into key moments and conversations in our history and culture.
This summer at the NFSA, we present a Summer of Love, channelling peace, love, music and the rebellious spirit of 1960s and '70s counterculture.
Step into a vibrant snapshot of Melbourne's experimental performing arts of the early 1970s with Pram Factory, and explore the radical music scene through early works from two of Australia's most celebrated filmmakers: Peter Weir's Three Directions in Australian Pop Music, capturing Melbourne's TF Much Ballroom, and Phillip Noyce's Good Afternoon, filmed at the extraordinary Aquarius Arts Festival in Canberra.
The anti-Vietnam War protest movement of 1970 unfolds over 24 hours with Or Forever Hold Your Peace, while echoes of rebellion carried into the 1980s with Wildness, a stunning photographic record of Tasmania's wilderness protests captured by photographers Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis.
