The iconic Australian epic returns to the big screen

The definitive Australian Western, The Man From Snowy River is a film of epic proportions. Based on the iconic poem by Banjo Paterson, and starring Kirk Douglas in a dual role as the brothers Harrison and Spur, the film offers one of the most stunning portraits of the Australian landscape put to cinema.

In the Australian Alps in 1880, a young stockman, Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) must prove his worth when a valuable colt runs off to join a mob of brumbies. The colt’s rich owner, Harrison (Kirk Douglas), offers a reward, but Jim rides to clear his name and win a different prize – Harrison’s headstrong daughter Jessica (Sigrid Thornton).

Saturday session includes a post-screening Q&A with star Tom Burlinson.

Monday session includes a pre-film screening of "Sherbrooke Down", a short film inspired by The Man From Snowy River.
