Join director Jim Sharman at the NFSA’s 50th anniversary celebration of the ultimate cult classic and longest running theatrical release of all time. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure and be one of the first to see the new 50th Anniversary 4K re-release.
β€˜In 1975, a spark from Australia’s creative underground ignited a wildfire of rebellion, expression and belonging. Fifty years on, The Rocky Horror Picture Show still pulses with the same energy, testament to both the wild, loud powerhouses behind its genius, and the rituals that have become folded into the film’s very being.’ - Laura Barling, NFSA

β€œThe Rocky Horror Picture Show is not so much a movie as more of a long-running social phenomenon” – Roger Ebert

*Film Screening (8pm) – Screening of the new 4K re-release of the film
