Loved the movie’s at Elsie’s Film House? Feeling sad that’s it’s all coming to an end? The good news is that Elsie’s founder Alice Taylor, will be moving over to program films for Arc Cinema at the NFSA (National of Film and Sound Archive). It’s a match made in heaven!

Elsie’s Film House presents our last day of cinema with our DOCUMENTARY BINGE-FEST ✨🍿❤️

Celebrate the end of an era, and join us for the following documentaries:

🎥 12:15pm - THE THIN BLUE LINE

🎥 2:30pm - MAN ON WIRE

🎥 4:30pm - THE WOLFPACK

🎥 6:30pm - SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!

THE THIN BLUE LINE changed the game in documentary filmmaking forever upon its release, presenting the true crime of a police officer’s murder in Dallas.

MAN ON WIRE is a much loved documentary following rebel without a cause Philippe Petit’s daredevil plan to (illegally) tightrope walk across New York’s Twin Towers.

THE WOLFPACK follows the Angulo brothers, who grew up homeschooled in a Manhattan apartment, watching films to learn about the world.

In SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! friends accidentally create the world’s first viral sensation when they tape-record the fights between their noisy neighbours.
