𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 at princetongardentheatre.org/specials𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Peter Weir’s haunting yet poetic horror film is a defining entry in Australian cinema. Based on the 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay and set at the turn of the 20th century, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK tells the story of a small group of female students who vanish while on a school outing. Weir’s film punctures the dreamy idyll with anxieties about class, race, sexual repression, and the unforgiving landscape of a country struggling with national identity and the abuses and limits of its colonial legacy. FREE Event.
