Aleksei German: History Though a Keyhole is screening at GOMA’s Australian Cinémathèque!
With the exception of his final work, the Boschian sci-fi Hard to Be a God 2013, German’s films are all set within the post-Revolution pre-Khrushchev Russia of 1918-1953.

miffy & friends exhibition!
A deceptively unassuming figure, Miffy's outward simplicity belies a legacy grounded in the 20th century avant-garde–abstractionism, colour theory and De Stjil–and owes a debt of influence to the likes of Matisse, Léger and Mondrian. Miffy embodies a universal language of minimalism, expressing a myriad of emotions and subtle nuances that can be understood across generations and cultural milieus.
