If you haven't visited the Century Theatre recently there's another opportunity coming up with a special film to commemorate Anzac Day this year.
Anzac Day is an important day to acknowledge those who have sacrificed, remember history, and work to ensure we try not to repeat the past.
A day for sombre reflection, it is also a day to spend with, and appreciate, family and friends.
The film, simply titled 25 April, shares the personal accounts of six individuals and their Gallipoli experience.
Taken from letters, diaries and memoirs – a very personal sense of the emotions, experiences and feelings of these individuals is conveyed.
This film is deliberately not trying to tell the story of the war or Gallipoli but rather give a real sense of how it felt to be in the midst of this moment in time.
Using a graphic novel-like animation, the film lifts the story out of the usual black and white historic film footage into a more current feel – making the emotions and the story even more relatable.
Although animated, this film is rated M due to the war content. 25 April screens on Anzac Day at 10am, 1pm and 3pm, with entry by gold coin donation.
We hope many of you will come in to see the film and let others know it's on.
If you don't have time to sit through a feature-length film we are sharing stories in another way, with story reading in the Drop-in-Zone between 10am and 4pm on Anzac Day.
Our wonderful volunteers will share a variety of books and stories with children and families.
We've been bustling with families for the first week of the school holidays and there's a great vibe throughout the building so we hope you take the opportunity to come in and experience all the stories we have on offer.
