BOOK CLUB AT THE NFSA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CANBERRA WRITERS FESTIVAL 

On a Valentine’s Day picnic at Hanging Rock, three schoolgirls and a teacher from exclusive Appleyard College mysteriously disappear. 
Peter Weir’s original pan-pipes-and-white-dresses take on Joan Lindsay’s 1967 novel is just as eerie and mysterious 50 years on.  

“One of the most hauntingly beautiful mysteries ever created on film.” – San Francisco Chronicle 

The screening will be followed by a discussion of the film and the novel with special guest TBC.
