Fallen Angels (1995)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encore sessions on sale now. Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. This hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature 'Chungking Express' as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Fallen Angels (1995)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encore sessions on sale now. Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. This hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature 'Chungking Express' as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Radiohead for Solo Piano: Live AV Set
Master of improvisation, Berlin-based Australian pianist Josh Cohen takes on legendary rock band Radiohead in this live show of idiosyncratic covers from the group's famous back catalogue – interpretations that have gone viral on YouTube with more than ten million views and counting. Performing against a custom-built visual installation, the visuals are performed and improvised in real time, ensuring every show is a unique experience. Although fiercely protective of their reputation, it's not surprising that Radiohead gave Cohen the green light to release two official songbooks and perform their songs around the world. Audacious in his approach to music and innovative in his playing style inspired by electronic producers and long-form, free improvisation, Cohen's skills are truly dynamic, instantly elevating these iconic songs to a whole new level.

Deinzel Morris - Book launch
Join local author Deinzel Morris on the Banyan Lawn as she launches her new book 'Holy Shigamoley, WTF Just Happened?' with the Brisbane public. What happens when your life falls apart so completely that the only way forward is through the wreckage? In Holy Shigamoley, WTF Just Happened?, Deinzel Morris opens the door to the wildest, darkest, funniest, and most transformational chapter of her life. From closing a teaching business and stepping into a dangerous new world, to drugs, love, heartbreak, psychosis, hospital wards, spiritual signs, family bonds, and the long road back to herself, this memoir is a brutally honest account of what it means to break, survive, heal, and keep laughing through the chaos. Told with raw humour, deep vulnerability, and no polished filter, this is not a story about having all the answers. It is a story about losing your mind, finding your truth, and learning that even in the messiest parts of life, love can still pull you home. Messy. Dark. Funny. Honest. Human. This is chaos, truth, love, and transformation - exactly as it happened.

Ancient Channels- Static Spirit Album Launch
Ancient Channels is a Brisbane post-punk outfit known for its swirling guitar landscapes, dream-pop sensibilities, and a cinematic approach to songwriting. The project channels a love of ’80s post punk, modern psych-pop, and atmospheric post-punk into a sound that feels expansive yet intimate. Formed against the backdrop of Brisbane’s tightly knit independent music community, Ancient Channels quickly stood out for their ability to fuse shimmering textures with grounded, emotionally honest lyricism. Their songs unfold like scenes with rich layers of reverb, swirling effects, and melodic guitar interplay creating a sonic world that invites listeners in rather than overwhelms.The result is music that feels both nostalgic and exploratory: echoes of The Cure and Siouxsie And The Banshees woven into something distinctly their own. Onstage, Ancient Channels delivers immersive performances marked by dynamic energy and detailed soundscapes. The band’s live sets move fluidly from atmospheric introspection to powerful crescendos, showcasing a versatility that resonates with audiences across Brisbane’s venues and festivals. With each release, Ancient Channels continues to refine and expand their sonic palette, building a reputation as one of Brisbane’s most compelling underground acts. Their work captures the restless creativity of the city’s scene while carving out a unique identity that is textured and heartfelt. [button link=" ]Tickets[/button]

Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire’s design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form.

Justene Williams: Once We Were Mudskippers
Spanning performative videos, sculpture, sound and installation from the past 20 years, including a wealth of new works, ‘Once We Were Mudskippers’ emphasises the aesthetic ambition of Justene Williams’s expansive practice. Like the amphibious fish invoked by the exhibition’s title, which exist between worlds, Williams’s artworks are an amalgam of materials and approaches and remain grounded in art history while reflecting contemporary issues. Adopting a do-it-yourself strategy, Williams fuses disparate textures and concepts into compelling artworks that speak to her belief that our shared future can be forged with resources at hand and transformed by the imagination. Williams’s artworks address ideals of beauty, careerist and consumerist pressures, the strangeness of living in both the physical body and virtual space, and human connections to rituals and the afterlife. ‘Once We Were Mudskippers’ is characterised by Justene Williams’s unwavering conviction that art is a world where artists and audiences can experiment and commune.

Dry Leaf
Premiere screening. New Farm Cinemas: Sat 3 October. Presented in partnership with Container: Brisbane Film Society and the Institute of Modern Art (IMA). A Plainwater Films release. QLD PREMIERE. When sports photographer Lisa vanished, she was working on an assignment documenting ramshackle football fields across the country. She has left behind a letter for her parents in Tbilisi instructing them not to follow her – a request that her father, Irakli (played by the filmmaker’s own father, David Koberidze), disregards. He attempts to retrace her cross-country path together with her colleague Levan – who, like many of the characters in this gentle and transfixing saga, happens to be invisible – but theirs is destined to be a sublimely digressive quest, punctuated by curious encounters. Shot entirely on an old Sony Ericsson camera phone and unfolding across an epic timescale, Alexandre Koberidze’s latest feature – winner of both a Competition Special Mention and the FIPRESCI Prize at Locarno Film Festival – combines the sense of melancholic whimsy that distinguished his previous feature, 'What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?', with its daring formal gambit, giving its images of the Georgian countryside a surprising, pixelated beauty at times verging on abstraction.

Sense and Sensibility
special event screening. No one knows your heart like a sister. From BAFTA nominated director Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean), comes the adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, a sweeping period drama that follows three sisters’ experiences of love, loss and heartbreak. Following the death of their father, the Dashwood sisters; the sensible and prudent Elinor, the romantic and passionate Marianne, and the young Margaret, and their mother are left financially destitute, when their family estate, Norland Park, is left to their half-brother John on the basis of a law that limits the transfer of property to male heirs. Although he is instructed to take care of his sisters, John is dissuaded of his duty by his greedy wife and they are forced to move to Barton Cottage in rural Devonshire, offered to them by a generous relative Sir John Middleton. Before leaving Norland, Elinor forms a quiet connection to Edward Ferrars, the brother of John’s wife, but they are separated when she moves and discovers his prior engagement to Lucy Steele. While Marianne struggles with her romantic aspirations when she must choose between the young and attractive John Willoughby and the older and sensible Colonel Brandon. Featuring an outstanding lead cast, including Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) as Elinor, Esmé Creed-Miles (Hanna) as Marianne, BAFTA nominee George MacKay (1917) as Edward, Golden Globe nominee Caitríona Balfe (Outlander) as Mrs. Dashwood and BAFTA winner Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve) as Mrs. Jennings, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY artfully explores the contention between living by your head or by your heart, showcasing that by having a balance of both rational thought (sense) and genuine feeling (sensibility) one will live a truly content life.

Chinatown (1974)
Classic screening. Regal Graceville: Sat 26 September. New Farm Cinemas: Sun 27 September. In this seminal noir from 1975, Jack Nicholson is unforgettable as private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sunbaked pre-war Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband’s extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits as he uncovers a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together in one unforgettable night.

Fallen Angels (1995)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encore sessions on sale now. Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. This hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature 'Chungking Express' as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

In preparation for Laika Studios new film, WILDWOOD, join us for a retrospective double screening of PARANORMAN and THE BOXTROLLS. Young Norman Babcock (Kodi Smit-McPhee) has the ability to speak with the dead -- and he often prefers their company to that of the living. Norman receives word from his strange Uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman) that a centuries-old witch's curse on their town is real and about to come true -- and that only Norman can stop it. When zombies rise from their graves, Norman must summon all his courage and compassion and push his paranormal abilities to the limit to save his fellow townspeople. Eggs (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), an orphan, lives with the Boxtrolls -- a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who inhabit a cavern beneath the city of Cheesebridge. When villainous Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley) hatches a plan to get rid of the pretty harmless beings, Eggs decides to go above ground, where he meets and befriends feisty Winnifred (Elle Fanning). Together, Eggs and Winnifred devise a daring plan to save the Boxtrolls from extermination.

Tejaswini Bhava Abhiyan
Tejaswini Bhava Abhiyan — A girls and women only event. Tejaswini Abhiyaan is a community initiative organised by Shri Yog Vedant Seva Samiti, in association with the Mahila Utthan Mandal wing of Sant Shri Asharam Ji Ashram, with the aim of empowering girls and young women by nurturing confidence, positive thinking, inner strength, self-belief, and a strong sense of purpose. The word Tejaswini describes a girl who embodies tejas (inner radiance), confidence, positivity, courage, self-esteem and inner strength. The initiative is founded on the belief that every girl possesses unique strengths, abilities and potential that can be nurtured and developed. Just as a small seed contains the potential to grow into a magnificent tree, every individual has the potential for growth and excellence. In the same way, every girl has a Tejaswini within her. Tejaswini Abhiyaan seeks to encourage girls to recognise their strengths, discover their potential and develop the confidence to make a positive contribution to their families, communities and society. Through educational, cultural, creative and community activities, the initiative promotes positive values, confidence, leadership, self-awareness, personal development and an appreciation of Indian cultural heritage, traditions and values. The initiative provides an encouraging environment where girls can learn, participate, express themselves, develop their abilities and build confidence while connecting with cultural traditions and the wider community. The vision of Tejaswini Abhiyaan is simple: to inspire every girl to discover, nurture and awaken the Tejaswini within her.

Frank plans to retire after the heist, yet he finds himself indebted to Leo and he struggles to break free. Featuring outstanding performances from its lead cast, with Caan delivering a career best performance, THIEF seethes with Mann’s stylish, atmospheric direction, loaded with striking night shots of back alleys and glittering skyscrapers, enveloping you in its tough, doom-laden grip that never let’s go.

Paul Lewis - Mozart + Musica Viva Australia in Brisbane
Thrilled to welcome back the inimitable Paul Lewis to the stage. The British concert pianist has received universal critical acclaim for his performances and recordings of the great piano works of Beethoven and Schubert. He now turns his laser-like focus and insightful musicianship to Mozart. What more is there to say about Mozart? A great deal, according to Paul Lewis. This recital series challenges that idea by juxtaposing the many facets of this rich corner of the piano repertoire with works by other composers, presenting both contrasts with and connections to Mozart's piano writing. The transparency, discretion, and humour of Poulenc, and the playful sensuality of Debussy's L'isle joyeuse are all threads to trace back to and listen out for in the piano sonatas of Mozart. Take the next step with Paul Lewis.

Awards Season Opening: Digger
See Tom Cruise lead this outrageous new satire at our Awards Season Opening Event, plus enjoy a complimentary glass of red or white wine on arrival! 🍷 From four-time Academy Award-winning auteur, Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman, The Revenant), comes the politically charged satire, DIGGER, an outrageous dark-comedy that follows the most powerful man in the world, Digger Rockwell (Academy Award nominee Tom Cruise) and his frantic mission to prove he is humanities saviour. Digger Rockwell, eccentric, billionaire oil tycoon spends his days in extravagance and wealth, with not a care for the cost his oil drilling business has on the world around him. However, when an environmental catastrophe caused by his negligence comes to light, he begins a desperate campaign to show the world that he is their unlikely saviour before the disaster destroys everything. Filled with breathtaking production design, transformative makeup and costuming and explosive performances from Academy Award nominee Sandra Hüller, Academy Award nominee Jesse Plemons, Academy Award winner Riz Ahmed and Golden Globe winner John Goodman, DIGGER is an ingenious commentary on the current world we live in, complete with stage-worthy grandeur and spectacle.

Tampopo (1985)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encores: Mon 5 Oct (Public Holiday) & Tue 6 Oct. In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.

Fallen Angels (1995)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encore sessions on sale now. Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. This hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature 'Chungking Express' as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Awards Season Opening: Digger
See Tom Cruise lead this outrageous new satire at our Awards Season Opening Event, plus enjoy a complimentary glass of red or white wine on arrival! 🍷 From four-time Academy Award-winning auteur, Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman, The Revenant), comes the politically charged satire, DIGGER, an outrageous dark-comedy that follows the most powerful man in the world, Digger Rockwell (Academy Award nominee Tom Cruise) and his frantic mission to prove he is humanities saviour. Digger Rockwell, eccentric, billionaire oil tycoon spends his days in extravagance and wealth, with not a care for the cost his oil drilling business has on the world around him. However, when an environmental catastrophe caused by his negligence comes to light, he begins a desperate campaign to show the world that he is their unlikely saviour before the disaster destroys everything. Filled with breathtaking production design, transformative makeup and costuming and explosive performances from Academy Award nominee Sandra Hüller, Academy Award nominee Jesse Plemons, Academy Award winner Riz Ahmed and Golden Globe winner John Goodman, DIGGER is an ingenious commentary on the current world we live in, complete with stage-worthy grandeur and spectacle.

Fallen Angels (1995)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encore sessions on sale now. Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. This hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature 'Chungking Express' as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.
5
Tampopo (1985)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas. Encores: Mon 5 Oct (Public Holiday) & Tue 6 Oct. In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.

2026 Recovered Futures ArT Exhibition
The Recovered Futures Art Exhibition has been a mainstay on the Brisbane art calendar for 35 years. Hosted in a grand marquee during Queensland Mental Health Week, the exhibition will return to King George Square from 9-14 October 2026. This professionally curated exhibition showcases more than 250 artworks by artists with lived experience of mental health challenges, sharing powerful stories of recovery, resilience, and hope. Every exhibiting artist in the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition has a lived experience of mental ill-health, either personally or through their roles as a carer or family member. Their artworks reflect powerful stories of resilience, recovery, and hope. Artists receive 85 per cent of sale proceeds from each sale, ensuring they are directly supported through their creative work. While Recovered Futures provides an important platform for artists to sell their work and gain recognition, its impact reaches far beyond the gallery walls. For many participants, the act of creating and exhibiting art is a vital part of their healing journey, offering empowerment, connection, and a voice through which to share their experiences of recovery. The exhibition also plays a significant role in sparking meaningful conversations and challenging the stigma that too often surrounds mental health. We hope to see you there!

ST. ALi Italian Film Festival Napoli Night: Nino. 18 Days
special event screening. With a Solbevi Limoncello Spritz on arrival! Directed by his son Toni D'Angelo, this touching documentary about Neapolitan singer/actor Nino D'Angelo explores the story of an artist who has crossed genres, stages, and generations, while remaining true to his roots. In the 1980s, Nino D'Angelo had the most famous blonde bob in Italy after Raffaella Carrà. Now his hair is grey, he now composes his music in a small studio, and he lives in Rome, surrounded by his large family. In 2024, his concert at the Maradona Stadium in Naples is a definitive farewell to the 1980s, and sharing the moment with him, behind the camera, is his son Toni. In Nino. 18 Days, Toni D'Angelo follows his father on this tour around Italy. As Toni questions Nino about who he was and how he rose to success, he also takes him back to his childhood, to San Pietro a Patierno in Naples where he grew up, to Casoria where Nino became a man, a singer, and a father, recording intimate moments as they try to reclaim lost time and reconnect.

Mastering Portraiture - Drawing Workshop with Dr Kay Kane
This workshop welcomes both newcomers and artists returning for a second (or third) time. Whether you are building foundations or refining skills you already possess, the focus remains the same: portraiture drawing that is grounded in clear seeing, rather than photographic imitation. This course follows the same format as Kay's workshop Fundamental Structure of the Human Head. At its core, the course treats the essential elements of all drawing—size, scale, shape, tonal relationships and spatial organisation—as equally vital. You will practise selecting, organising and simplifying so that accurate, eloquent observation becomes second nature. This disciplined seeing is the necessary groundwork for any expressive interpretation of the human face but can equally be applied to subjects other than portraiture. Throughout the five weeks, Dr Kane will teach these fundamentals to the group while also giving regular one-to-one feedback, so every participant—whether first-time or returning—receives personal guidance tailored to their stage of development. Returning artists often discover that revisiting the same principles with individual attention reveals new layers of understanding and opens fresh possibilities for expression. New students gain a solid, structured pathway into portraiture. In both cases the aim is the same: to experience the living connection between structural understanding and expressive interpretation of the human visage. Materials Supplied: Graphite, 2B/4B/6B Pencils, Plastic Ruler, Plastic Rubber, Heavy Cartridge Paper and Mixed Media Card. PLEASE NOTE: The workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery which is only accessible via a flight of stairs. Dr Kay Kane is a highly respected artist with 50+ years of art practice to her name and 45 years’ experience as a teacher in visual art – drawing and painting. Her 12 years tertiary education includes a Diploma of Fine Art, a BA in Fine Art Painting, (Both from Central St Martins Art College, London) as well as a PHD, Doctor of Visual Art, Queensland College of Art, Brisbane. Royal Queensland Art Society is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Artist in Residence: Renee Kire
Step inside an exciting new residency project that invites you to experience art in unexpected ways. Artist in Residence Renee Kire takes over Museum of Brisbane’s entryway, transforming these spaces with a vibrant and dynamic mix of striking vinyl graphics and sculptural timber elements. These features create an immersive pathway that stretches across walls and ceilings, guiding you into the heart of the Museum. Drawing inspiration from Minimalism while reinterpreting the movement through a contemporary feminist lens, Kire brings fresh attention to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the field. Bright, colourful and welcoming for all visitors, the artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking. Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire’s design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Repetition, rhythm and thoughtful details invite you to slow down, look closely and discover new perspectives. MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC. Museum of Brisbane is Brisbane City Council’s leading history and art museum where you can experience our city’s vibrant culture.

Audrey Gibbs Art Prize
Audrey Gibbs joined the Royal Queensland Art Society in 1983 and was recognised as a Fellow of the society in 2009. This exhibition explores genre artworks, one of Audrey’s great pleasures. This exhibition focuses on Genre Artworks, one of Audrey's favourite themes to paint. Genre Artworks are those that depict ordinary people in everyday situations, both in the exterior and the interior. Rather than heroic or mythological subjects, these works celebrate the familiar: everyday people participating in domestic routines, work, leisure, social gatherings, and quiet moments of daily life. The Royal Queensland Art Society is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Girl Band (musical comedy)
The songs are made up. The drama is inevitable. The girl group is completely out of control. Are you ready to spice up your life? Girl Band is an adults-only improvised comedy concert serving big vocals, bigger personalities, filthy pop bangers and absolutely unnecessary amounts of drama. Inspired by the iconic girl groups of the ’90s and 2000s — think Spice Girls, TLC, Destiny’s Child and a generous dose of Pussycat Dolls — some of Brisbane’s funniest musical improvisers take to the stage as the greatest girl band that never existed. With a live band, outrageous costumes and absolutely nothing planned, every song, scandal, breakup, comeback and deeply questionable creative decision is invented on the spot. Expect catchy choruses, sexy choreography, ridiculous harmonies, dirty jokes, chaotic revelations and entirely made-up pop hits you’ll somehow be singing by the end of the night. Come ready to laugh, dance in your seat, sing along and get a little bit feral. Perfect for girls’ nights, hens’ nights, date nights and anyone who believes a night out could benefit from more pop music, more chaos and significantly less dignity. For the girls, the gays, the theys — and the men brave enough to come along for the ride. It’s loud. It’s ridiculous. It’s raunchy. It’s Girl Band.

Author talk: Yvon's Great Adventure
Join us at Anzac Square Memorial Galleries on Sunday 11 October as author Peter Grose shares his book Yvon's Great Adventure. This is the extraordinary true story of how a French boy, Yvon Calmus, survived the final year of World War I and journeyed to Australia in the protective care of knockabout Australian soldiers. While the story is aimed at children, the tale of Yvon's Great Adventure surmounts age. It beautifully captures the personal relationships that formed during the war, many of which endured well beyond the Armistice. Peter Grose is the grandson of Lieutenant Frank Grose, the YMCA Welfare Officer who rescued Yvon Calmus alongside his 'adoptive' Australian family. Copies of Peter's book will be available for purchase. Questions are welcome. After the talk, visitors can stay to explore the Memorial Galleries, embarking on an interactive journey from the First World War to today, before taking time to reflect on the remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the tranquil parklands. Locations: Anzac Square Memorial Galleries is located at 285 Ann Street, Brisbane. Entry is through the double brass doors located beneath the Shrine of Remembrance.

'Guardian Angels' grave cleaning day
Every month, something quietly wonderful happens at South Brisbane Cemetery. Neighbours, families, history lovers, and curious newcomers roll up their sleeves and come together as part of our Guardian Angels program. A cheerful, hands-on initiative where we clean and care for the graves of those long gone, but never forgotten. Launched in 2018 (with roots reaching back to 2005), this volunteer program invites people of all ages and backgrounds to help preserve the beauty and dignity of one of Brisbane’s most historic cemeteries. Whether you’re gently washing a headstone, trimming overgrown grass, or simply uncovering a long-hidden inscription, every small act reveals a story and restores a little light to the lives buried here. These relaxed, feel-good days have become one of our most loved community events, with many participants returning month after month, some even bringing along the whole family. Children often find joy in the ‘treasure hunt’ aspect of the work, while adults appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and chance to connect with both history and new friends. We’re working section by section, grave by grave, with care and respect. It’s not just about tidying up, it’s about honouring lives lived and reconnecting our community with its past. Some of the graves we clean haven’t been visited in decades, and for many of our volunteers, the work becomes deeply meaningful. Over the years, we’ve also come together for big clean-ups after the 2011 floods and participated in Clean Up Australia Day events. The energy and warmth of these group efforts continue to inspire us. If you’ve ever been curious about grave care, love local history, or simply want to spend a Saturday morning doing something truly rewarding, we’d love to welcome you. No experience is needed, just bring your enthusiasm, a hat, and maybe a friend or two. We’ll provide the tools, guidance, and good company. Come along and be part of something special because every grave has a story, and every helping hand makes a difference.

Metropolis (1927)
Classic screening. New Farm Cinemas & Tower Cinemas Newcastle. Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece Metropolis is perhaps the most famous and influential of all silent films—the inspiration for science fiction epics from Star Wars to The Matrix to name just two. However the Metropolis we have seen until now has been incomplete—the product of desperate distributors and overzealous editors in the 1920s. For years, it was believed that the Lang’s original 2½ hour cut had been lost to time. Until 2008, when a cache of film was discovered at Buenos Aires’ Museo del Cine in Argentina. More than 25 minutes of ‘new’ footage has now been painstakingly restored. Accompanied by a new recording of Gottfried Huppetz’ original score, Metropolis is the crowning achievement of German Expressionist cinema. Nearly 100 years after its first release, Lang’s vision of a dystopian future—where the rich live in splendid luxury, while a literal underclass toil in a vast subterranean workshop—can be seen as the director originally intended "Each frame of this classic is drop-dead stunning." - New York Daily News "An eternal masterpiece." - Daily Telegraph (UK) "A visually awe-inspiring science fiction classic from the silent era." - Rotten Tomatoes "Here is the starting-point of so much modern cinema." - Independent (UK)

Sense and Sensibility
sneak screening. No one knows your heart like a sister. From BAFTA nominated director Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean), comes the adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, a sweeping period drama that follows three sisters’ experiences of love, loss and heartbreak. Following the death of their father, the Dashwood sisters; the sensible and prudent Elinor, the romantic and passionate Marianne, and the young Margaret, and their mother are left financially destitute, when their family estate, Norland Park, is left to their half-brother John on the basis of a law that limits the transfer of property to male heirs. Although he is instructed to take care of his sisters, John is dissuaded of his duty by his greedy wife and they are forced to move to Barton Cottage in rural Devonshire, offered to them by a generous relative Sir John Middleton. Before leaving Norland, Elinor forms a quiet connection to Edward Ferrars, the brother of John’s wife, but they are separated when she moves and discovers his prior engagement to Lucy Steele. While Marianne struggles with her romantic aspirations when she must choose between the young and attractive John Willoughby and the older and sensible Colonel Brandon. Featuring an outstanding lead cast, including Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) as Elinor, Esmé Creed-Miles (Hanna) as Marianne, BAFTA nominee George MacKay (1917) as Edward, Golden Globe nominee Caitríona Balfe (Outlander) as Mrs. Dashwood and BAFTA winner Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve) as Mrs. Jennings, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY artfully explores the contention between living by your head or by your heart, showcasing that by having a balance of both rational thought (sense) and genuine feeling (sensibility) one will live a truly content life.

Lamb of God and Trivium Co-headline Australian Tour
Australia, get set to step into oblivion and mosh until the world goes cold this October when Grammy Award nominated metal pioneers Lamb of God team up with fellow modern metal lords Trivium for a mammoth national co-headline run, joined by special guests Bleed from Within. Forged in basement shows and DIY venues in Richmond, Virginia, the impact and enduring legacy of Lamb of God since forming in the mid 90s is nothing short of legendary. Renowned for their role in helping shape the new wave of American heavy metal, Lamb of God have commanded global attention for decades, touring the globe, selling millions of records, ticking off five Grammy Award-nominations and retaining a perpetual presence with new music to join their monumental back catalogue in the process. Between evergreen favourites like Laid to Rest, Redneck, Walk with Me in Hell and Now You've Got Something to Die For, and, most recently, new material courtesy of their latest LP, 2026's Into Oblivion, Lamb of God's razor-sharp fusion of grooves, metal mayhem and raucous energy is eternally showing no signs of slowing down. Equally as prolific in a live setting as they are in the studio, Lamb of God's touring rap sheet reads like a metalhead's fever dream, spanning everyone from Slayer through to Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot and countless more.

Geoffrey Burns: Ride the Chronovore
Revisiting locations at different times of year, Geoffrey Burns approaches making as both a method and a measure of time. Works emerge through repeated encounters with place, where observation accumulates and memory takes form through surface and seasonal change. Ride the Chronovore considers time as an active force: consuming, transforming and leaving its evidence behind. Through repetition, Burns traces how surfaces shift, forms appear and recede, and environments register cycles that often unfold beyond human attention. Each return gathers new information while revealing what has altered, disappeared or endured. The fleeting span of a human life meets the slower tempo of the natural world, inviting an attentive and materially grounded way of looking at the quiet force of time. Opening Night Friday September 18 6 - 8pm VIP Preview from 5.30pm Geoffrey Burns in Conversation Sunday September 20 3pm - 4pm + celebratory drinks with the artist until 5pm Artist in Residence Saturday September 26 12pm - 4pm (drop in any time) Morning Musings Workshop Retreat Sunday October 4 10am - 12pm

Centred around a rare collection of embellished oleographs by Raja Ravi Varma (India, 1848-1906), the exhibition delves into the intersection between devotional imagery and popular culture, capturing the divine as a living part of everyday life. Works from the QAGOMA contemporary Asian collection complement and extend this dialogue, through the juxtaposition of religious and vernacular iconographies with contemporary reflections on belief. QAGOMA has embarked on a landmark conservation and research exchange with colleagues in India to document and conserve a rare collection of Ravi Varma works. Specialists from QAGOMA’s conservation team will collaborate with the Museum of Art and Photography (MAP), Bengaluru, to share expertise and deepen cultural ties. QAGOMA’s conservation and research exchange is supported by the Centre for Australia-India Relations. QAGOMA is proud to be a recipient of a Centre for Australia-India Relations Maitri grant.

Scott Breton
Brisbane-based figurative artist Scott Breton combines classical training with a uniquely contemporary vision to explore the living presence of figure, form and space in his work. With a practice informed by deep study of traditional drawing, painting and sculptural media, Breton’s compositions often convey a sense of aliveness and psychological depth, where gesture and structure meet imagination and atmosphere. A recipient of Australia’s prestigious A.M.E. Bale Travelling Scholarship, his work bridges the enduring principles of representational art with fresh insights into the human experience. Breton’s upcoming exhibition offers a new chapter in his ongoing investigation of form, psyche and the poetic potential of the painted surface.

Beyond Henson: Puppetry and World Cinema
Inspired by the work of The Jim Henson Company and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the film program ‘Beyond Henson: Puppetry and World Cinema’ surveys the rich international history of storytelling through the artforms of cinema and puppetry. Presented in conjunction with the ‘Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company’ exhibition (12 September 2026 – 18 April 2027), the film program delves into crafted narratives that harness traditions of puppetry and cinema to move beyond belief and into the realms of the imagination. To trace the anatomy of onscreen puppetry is to draw from millennia of performance and craft traditions that extend across the globe. From the marionette puppetry of France and the Bunraku theatre of Japan, to the Wayang Kulit puppetry of Indonesia and the British Punch and Judy show, the democratised nature of the puppet theatre has enabled an unbridled style of performance that can enact the truthful and the taboo. Taking direction from the television series Jim Henson Presents the World of Puppetry 1985, the selected titles include films that precede (and sit adjacent to) productions by The Jim Henson Company, positioning the Company’s work within the broader canon of on-screen puppetry. [sponsorLogos block] QAGOMA acknowledges the generous assistance of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Canberra; the Academy Film Archive, Los Angeles; the British Film Institute, London; the NBCUniversal Archives & Collections, Los Angeles; the Library of Congress, Washington; the National Film Archive, Prague, the Australian Film Television and Radio School, Sydney and the Revival House, Perth in providing materials for this program. Program curated by Victoria Wareham, Australian Cinémathèque with additional film note writing by Rebekah Brammer.

Great and Small
Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years. Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community and are a foundation of economies, identity and sustainability. Over many millennia of co-existence animals have been central to survival as a food source, for First Nations people they are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power; and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land and animals. ‘Great and small’ is a celebration of these connections. Please note that the display will be closed to the public from 7-11 December for the Gallery to complete artwork rotation. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Sorcerers from Bohemia: Picasso’s Saltimbanques
'Sorcerers from Bohemia' evokes the free-spirited world of the travelling circus performers, or saltimbanques — the subject of Pablo Picasso’s first major body of work in printmaking. 'La Suite des Saltimbanques' is a series of 15 loosely related etchings and drypoints that mark a transitional moment in the young artist’s personal and artistic development. Created on the cusp of Picasso’s Blue (1901–04) and Rose (1904–06) periods, the works are intimately connected with his paintings and drawings of the same era, including the Gallery’s own La Belle Hollandaise of 1905. On moving to Paris in 1904, 22-year-old Picasso encountered a bohemian crowd of acrobats, jugglers and street performers, whom he sketched as they rehearsed and socialised together. His early depictions focus on the vulnerability and poverty of these itinerant figures, whereas later works pay homage to their strong social bonds and the freedom of their creative lives. Appearing individually and in groups, Picasso’s saltimbanques vary widely in age and fulfil a variety of roles, from clown and friend to mother and king. Ushering in a lifelong experimentation with printmaking, 'La Suite des Saltimbanques' offers extraordinary insights into Picasso’s formative artistic concerns and the social milieu he inhabited at the time. In these sensitive and sympathetic portraits, he conveys the heft of a body, the texture of hair, a playful pose or a tender gesture with remarkable economy and elegance of line, ennobling figures who ordinarily existed on the fringes of society.

Towards a Collapsing World: German Expressionism
The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed an extraordinary moment in German art, as artists responded to a modern world in flux with works that engaged deeply with contemporary society, politics and culture. ‘Towards a Collapsing World’ explores this period of significant cultural flourishing through a survey of works on paper by leading figures of German Expressionism. Rather than a single, unified approach, German Expressionism was characterised by a plurality of attitudes and styles, with artist groups such as Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) forming and dissolving in response to fluctuating ideologies. Common to these disparate voices was a shared belief in the power of art to effect social change. The woodcut print became an important vehicle within German Expressionism, reviving a rich medieval heritage. Its stark, simplified forms — expressed through bold, flat patterns and raw aesthetic intensity —conveyed the inner turmoil and social critique of these expressionist artists with impassioned urgency.

Inscribing a Life
Please note that ‘Inscribing a life’ will be closed to the public on Tuesday 6 October for the Gallery to complete essential photographic documentation in ‘Archie Moore: kith and kin’ to allow for future installations of the work. We apologise for any inconvenience. ‘Inscribing a life’ brings artworks from across the QAGOMA Collection that register existence, histories, and time through the act of mark making. From the brute force recorded in paint on a canvas that expresses strength and vitality, to the time commitment captured in the repetition involved in making intricate forms, the desire to record and share expressions of life is championed in this exhibition. Complementing the adjacent display of ‘Archie Moore: kith and kin’ both presentations share the themes of memorials and cosmic time. Alongside artworks expressing the intensity and wonder of existence are those that celebrate and solemnly honour lives that have come to an end. These artworks speak to the importance of acknowledging loss and how through observing death the public memorial reaffirms the social fabric for the living. The importance of thinking beyond human lifespan can be seen in expressions of the cosmos, 'Inscribing a life' features artworks that grapple with the vast scale and the deep time of the universe.
