A special family day of film and TV screenings at The Capitol that celebrate the power of screen stories.
RMIT Culture co-presents Our Social Worlds: (Re)Inventions, a special family day of film and TV screenings at The Capitol that celebrate the power of screen stories to help us understand memory and change. This combo, never before seen on the big screen, is as fun as it is surreal, supernatural, and (maybe even a little) scary.
We start with beloved Australian classic ROUND THE TWIST (1990) and a new show CRAZY FUN PARK (2023) which has just won a Logie for Outstanding Kids' Show. We then turn to the stop-motion animated film CORALINE (2009), acclaimed for its quirky, spooky, moving exploration of how young people experience change.
In the interval, meet RMIT social scientists who will reflect on what these shows tell us about struggles we all face.
Our Social Worlds is a highlight of RMIT's events marking national Social Sciences Week, convened by the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. Supported by the RMIT Enabling Impact Platforms, College of Design and Social Context, College of Business and Law, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, and RMIT Culture.
