The films in ‘The Cinema of Tibet’ are crafted both within the Tibetan region and by filmmakers in exile. Often ...
The Films of Federico Fellini are coming to GOMA this month!

In Queer Time is coming to GOMA this August
The program brings together a selection of films which delve into these three areas. The first key reoccurring theme in the program is notions of family time, both biological and chosen. Woven throughout some of the films are the complicated relationships between queerness and motherhood. In some examples we encounter tense, complex and traumatic depictions of motherhood. In others, we are faced with figures who fulfill or take on matriarchal roles.
Another important idea is that queer ...

They can lurk in the shadows of gothic mansions, join their living families for dinner, and even train Shaolin monks to fight. ‘Ghost Stories’ presents a selection of films that showcase the many fascinating interpretations of spirits ...
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. This tumultuous milieu underpins his portraits of morally complex characters often teetering on the edge of calamity. Through these stories, German builds allegorical explorations of both his own past and the past of his compatriots.
