Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Sat, Sep 13, 2025 — Sun, Sep 14, 2025 (Australia/Sydney)

The NFSA's Arc Cinema is brimming with family-friendly favourites in the coming months. Sing along to Disney classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, complete with on-screen lyrics to beloved songs. Discover the gentle magic of Studio Ghibli's My Neighbour Totoro or enjoy Glenn Close's deliciously wicked turn in the live-action 101 Dalmatians. School holiday treats include The Secret Garden on 16mm and Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland. For Halloween, Tim Burton's Frankenweenie offers spooky fun, paired with a costume 'Trick or Treat' through NFSA's historic halls. There's also a chance to see the silent Australian children's classic The Kid Stakes on 35mm, brought to life with a live accompaniment by Aria-nominated CJ Shaw. Whether you're seeking whimsical animation, nostalgic live-action adventures, or seasonal fun, Arc Cinema's family program invites audiences to share the joy of big-screen magic together!
