CIFF returns for an immersive and exciting 3-day event on 26 - 28 August 2022, at the NFSA Arc Cinema.
Details of the 8 unmissable screenings are available in the program calendar and on the CIFF website: https://ciff.com.au/
This year, CIFF continues with its policy of retrospective programming, with a celebration of the work of two Australians who flourished in Hollywood in the 1940s and 50s - the actor Dame Judith Anderson, and the Oscar-winning writer-director John Farrow. The program includes a new documentary about Farrow’s life and work, and the filmmakers - Claude Gonzales and Frans Vandenburg - will be present to introduce their documentary and three of Farrow’s finest “noir” thrillers.
Dr Desley Deacon, the author of a recent biography of Judith Anderson, will also be a CIFF Guest and will introduce two of Anderson’s most impressive screen performances.
The program also includes two comedy classics by Ernst Lubitsch - his gleefully amoral pre-Code comedy, TROUBLE IN PARADISE (1932), and his last completed film, CLUNY BROWN (1946), starring Jennifer Jones as a plumber.
Tickets for CIFF are now available through the CIFF website or over the counter at the NFSA. Friends of the NFSA may purchase tickets for CIFF at the Concession rate of $16.
