It’s almost here – we’re just putting the final touches on uploading our new Autumn 2020 programme to our website now. We can’t wait to share it with you all very soon, so keep an eye on your email inboxes or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ANUFG!
In the meantime, if you are looking to renew your membership for 2020, you can now do so at any screening or online at www.anufg.org.au/join at the same unchanged price of $90 for an Annual membership or $30 for a season. But there’s no rush – as most Annual memberships from last year are still valid for two more weeks until the end of our current season on February 15.
And just in case you were wondering, YES – you can definitely keep using your current card and don’t have to fill in a membership form all over again. You’re welcome!

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK
...........................................................
We finish up the month of January with a thrilling New York City-set double feature along with a powerful French-Belgian drama that replaces the originally-scheduled MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN on Friday evening.
• FRI 31 JAN @ 7:30 PM: BY THE GRACE OF GOD (M, 138 mins)
A family man who was abused as a child by his priest joins forces with two fellow survivors to expose the rampant sexual abuse perpetrated – and hidden by – the French Catholic Church in this powerful drama from director François Ozon.
** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FILM REPLACES THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED ‘MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN’ DUE TO A RELEASE DATE CHANGE **
• SAT 1 FEB @ 7:30 PM: 21 BRIDGES (MA, 99 mins) + HUSTLERS (MA, 110 mins)
In 21 BRIDGES, an embattled NYPD detective (Chadwick Boseman) is given a shot at redemption during a manhunt for a pair of cop killers that puts the entire island of Manhattan on lockdown. Also starring Sienna Miller and J.K. Simmons.
Then, in HUSTLERS (at approx. 9:15 PM) a crew of savvy strip club dancers team up to embezzle
money from dozens of their wealthy Wall Street clients during the financial crisis of the late 2000s. Starring Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez and Julia Stiles.

WIN TICKETS TO A PREVIEW SCREENING OF ‘THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN’
...........................................................
Thanks to Transmission Films, we have tickets to give away to an advanced preview screening of THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN, starring Mel Gibson and Sean Penn.
In 1857, Professor James Murray (Mel Gibson) undertakes one of the most ambitious projects in history by creating the most comprehensive dictionary of words ever compiled. To speed up the process, he and his team enlist definitions from people around the world. They soon discover, however, that more than 10,000 such definitions were submitted by just one man: Dr. W.C. Minor (Sean Penn), an American Civil War veteran convicted for murder and held at an asylum for the criminally
insane.
THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN is in cinemas on February 20, but you can be one of the first to see it at this preview screening:
