Picnic at Hanging Rock

We are proud to present additional opportunities to experience Janus Films’ stunning new 50th Anniversary 4K Restoration of Peter Weir’s penetrating 1975 mystery, Picnic at Hanging Rock.

In the early 1900s, Miranda attends a girls boarding school in Australia. One Valentine’s Day, the school’s typically strict headmistress treats the girls to a picnic field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. Despite rules against it, Miranda and several other girls venture off. It’s not until the end of the day that the faculty realizes the girls and one of the teachers have disappeared mysteriously.

All That Jazz

Witness the dramatic side of dance with Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz, a semi-autobiographical musical drama that blurs the line between reality and fantasy in a dazzling, feverish spectacle, screening for The Frida Zinema in anticipation of their Musical March Madness issue! Copies will be available for purchase in the lobby.

The film follows Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider), a brilliant yet self-destructive Broadway director and choreographer, as he juggles his demanding career, multiple relationships, and an increasing dependence on drugs and alcohol. As he edits his latest film by day and rehearses a new stage production by night, his health deteriorates, leading him into a surreal, hallucinatory journey where he confronts his own mortality.
