Overview

Read the book. Watch the film. Join the conversation.

Discover a one‑of‑a‑kind monthly book club at the NFSA in Acton. Start by reading the selected book, then settle into Canberra's most beautiful cinema for its big‑screen adaptation.
Keep the conversation going with a vibrant post‑screening discussion led by book‑loving ABC Radio Canberra hosts Alice Matthews and Rhian Williams. Compare the page to the screen, share your thoughts, and hear new perspectives.

Make a Sunday of it at the NFSA and connect with fellow book club enthusiasts.

Arrive early to enjoy lunch, a coffee, or something sweet from Dom's deli and bar—available for purchase before the screening.
