In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies" and "nocturnes", emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler's Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed.

DOUBLE BILL! Before Kristen Stewart was an indie darling and Robert Pattison donned the Batsuit, the pair were catapulted to fame in the cultural sensation that launched a thousand half-hearted supernatural romances: the TWILIGHT saga! Springing onto the scene with low hopes, a modest budget and a shitton of blue colour grading, 2008’s TWILIGHT reminds us that teenagers have a lot of feelings. Indie auteur Catherine Hardwicke lends this tale of teen vampire love all the teen angst and gothic melodrama it rightfully deserves – and she also scores a vampire baseball montage to Supermassive Black Hole. Dracula could never. Bella’s back, but blue is out – things get earthy as the Cullens skip town and our heroine seeks comfort in her uncomplicated, totally platonic friendship with the suddenly-very-buff Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Whoops, wolf’s out of the bag…looks like patronising lectures from spectral visions of her vampiric ex-boyfriend are the least of Bella’s problems. And just when you think the movie’s almost over, get ready for ANOTHER HALF HOUR that includes a trip to Italy, gruesome mass murder, family meetings and Michael Sheen chewing the scenery as the villainous Aro.

Melbourne's OG TWILIGHT SAGA movie marathon returns (again) due to enormous popular demand! "Where the hell have you been, loca?" It started with Cinema Nova revisiting TWILIGHT for a “one-off” event in March to celebrate Kristen Stewart's Oscar nomination for Spencer and Robert Pattinson's arrival as The Batman. Now, after months of sell-out sessions, double features and a particularly unhinged triple feature, Cinema Nova's overnight movie marathon spectacular returns! Experience what is fast becoming the 2010s cult favourite with a communal experience that just might be the new Rocky Horror – you’re among Twihards here, and these fans don't mess around. This is, after all, the TWILIGHT Renaissance and it all started at Cinema Nova! Expect singalongs, giveaways, dress-ups, sparkly torsos, an early morning cereal bar to keep your energy levels up and much, much more. IMPORTANT: Seating is allocated and applies for all five movies. Complimentary cereal bar breakfast will be available to guests during a thirty minute break between Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Breaking Dawn Part 2. An email containing information about the event will be sent to ticketholders who purchased tickets online in the week prior to the event.
