About the Film:

Gallipoli [1981 / Peter Weir / 110 minutes]

This Australian film directed by Peter Weir is a story of a World War I campaign waged by Australian troops in Turkey during the summer of 1915. Weir has stated: "Gallipoli is about two young men on the road to adventure; how they crossed continents and great oceans, climbed the pyramids and walked through the ancient sands of Egypt and the deserts of the outback to their appointment with destiny." In other words, this film portrays how World War I affected the little people, rather than how it was molded and shaped by great leaders and vast impersonal forces.


The Aurora Film Society

Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $60 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting. We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue.
