6pm - Doors open (Bar open and light meals available to order)
7pm - Start Documentary

Each month we gather to watch a documentary, have a drink and enjoy a relaxed night out with others who are curious about the world. Come with friends, come on your own - everyone is welcome!

The films we screen explore a wide range of topics from Australia and around the world including stories about people, culture, music, community, adventure, creativity, the environment and all things that make us human.

Following the screening, guests are invited to stay for a chat inspired by the film. Join a discussion, chat with friends, meet someone new, or simply listen in. The conversation is open, respectful and driven by curiosity.

A bar and light food menu will be available throughout the evening.

Good films. Great chats.

AUGUST SCREENING - Song Inside

‘Songs Inside’ is a compelling feature-length documentary that chronicles the transformative journey of a small group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who, over six months, discovered the healing power of music. As the creative process unfolds, it unearths profound struggles with trauma and addiction, demonstrating that even within the complexities of prison life, music can serve as a universal force for healing and hope. Led by Barkindji singer-songwriter Nancy Bates, their journey culminates in a historic performance - the largest concert ever staged within an Australian prison - featuring the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and an audience of over 200 inmates and special guests.
