If you picked up a copy of the Canberra Times today, you might have seen a little article (on page 2!) about the ANU Film Group and our 50 years in the Coombs Theatre. Alternatively, you can check out the article online by CLICKING HERE.
We’re very proud of our time at Coombs and intend on fully celebrating it at our farewell event on November 25. If you have any photos, videos or memories of your time at the Coombs Theatre that you’d like to share with us, please send it through to info@anufg.org.au. We’re putting together a slideshow to run on screen at the event and we’d love to have some submissions from our members!
(Please note that the article makes reference to LADIES IN BLACK screening as part of the farewell event on November 25. It will actually be screening on November 24 – the farewell event does not include a film screening.)

SEMESTER MEMBERSHIPS NOW $20
...........................................................
As screenings wind down for the year, we’re dropping the price of our Semester Two 2018 memberships from $40 to just $20!
That’s only $5 more than a Weekly membership, so it’s perfect if you’re not already a member and would come along to any of our screenings between now and November 25. There’s still plenty more to see, including critically acclaimed films like A STAR IS BORN, FIRST MAN and LADIES IN BLACK.
Discounted Semester Two memberships are available online now (www.anufg.org.au/join) or in person at any screening.

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
