Families can enjoy an interactive silent film event featuring 1927 classic Fatty Finn, brought to life with live, original music by CJ Shaw and The All Sorts, complete with hands-on activities for kids. Marking its 40th anniversary, Malcolm returns for a special courtyard soirée, with a live performance of its soundtrack by the Canberra Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble and a Q&A with director Nadia Tass and producer David Parker. Meanwhile, Puffs of Smoke offers a richly textured journey into early cinema, pairing rare silent shorts from the archive with a live score by acclaimed composer Phillip Johnston, illuminating the creativity and innovation of Australia's silent film era.
