Late 30s Dee rebounds from one, funny, failed date to the next in the search for Mr Right. If only she could see that her best friend is right there all along. It’s obvious, right?

The '47 Club:

Lila Swain Quartet

Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rockroyalty. Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque) Mick Harvey (Nick Cave &The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad's brooding, noir-rock debut LP, Strange Love, since shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.

Raised on the quiet banks of the Bulolo River in rural Papua New Guinea, Chris’s upbringing was as raw as it was musically diverse. He grew up surrounded by a vast, contrasting mix of sounds—from ancestral chants and local beats to the harmonies of his uncle’s string band and the country music crackling through the two-way radio. This rich exposure to storytelling in its most unfiltered formats became something he deeply absorbed, weaving it entirely into his own artistry.

Pacifika Film Festival

All That's Left of You is a 2025 drama film written and directed by Cherien Dabis. It is a multi-generational Palestinian family story spanning several decades, and follows a family shaped by displacement, loss, and political upheaval.

Techno Boudoir transforms The Regent Cinema into a decadent 1920s-inspired dance experience where Art Deco glamour meets cutting-edge electronic music.

Presented by Bare Foot Beat, this one-night-only celebration invites you into a world of prohibition-era elegance, burlesque intrigue, and immersive performance.

Featuring sets from Monsieur Diop, Dé Saint, Greg Sara, and TaZ Miller, alongside the captivating performances by Wild Women, Techno Boudoir is designed as an intimate, high-energy dancefloor where music, style, and spectacle collide!

This is not a standard club night. It is a fully curated experience by Monsieur Diop, where music, visual story telling, cocktail bar, costume, lighting and human connection all matter!

Come Dress with intention, arrive early, stay late, loose track of time.

They’re the band you grew up with, whose songs are imprinted into the DNA of every music-lover who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. A band of eternally-youthful fuzz-pop darlings who, however improbably, have continued to play together for 30 years and somehow have not only gotten better, but have become even more loved. A band that combines loud with beautiful, intense with joyous, chaotic with precise and pulls it all together in a way that very few acts ever manage.

Akmal returns, sharing stories and thoughts about people who affected his life.

WE ARE NOT POWERLESS Incl Q&A with director and star Muzafar Ali, and director Jolyon Hoff

Ten years ago Australia ‘stopped the boats’. At the same time a small group of refugees in Indonesia received a $200 donation and started a two-room school.

Husband and wife, Muzafar Ali and Nagina Zahra were co-founders of that first school before being resettled in Adelaide in 2015. Since then the schools in Indonesia have grown. There are now over 1300 refugee students and 130 refugee teachers.
