WHAT'S ON NEXT??
International Women’s Day Celebration – Two Films & a Gig!
The Castlemaine Documentary Festival is throwing one hell of an International Women’s Day party on Friday, 7th March, at the Theatre Royal.
5:00PM: Looking for Simone is a deep dive into the life and legacy of Simone de Beauvoir. Her book, The Second Sex, changed the game for feminism worldwide, and this film traces the ideas, encounters, and landscapes that shaped her fight against gender oppression.
7:30PM: Teaches of Peaches is a wild ride. This genre-smashing musician, performance artist, and all-around icon has spent decades tearing down gender norms with wit, grit, and a whole lot of synth. And just when you think the night couldn’t get any better…
9:00PM: Central Victoria’s own sisters of shred, Paddock Bomb, will blow the roof off! If you missed their last sold-out show, here’s your chance to witness their raw power!
Come for one, or stay for the entire shebang!
DRESS CODE: Dress to mess with the patriarchy.
Real Stories.
Real Characters.
Real Conversations.
For over a decade, we’ve been Central Victoria’s home for documentary film.
The Castlemaine Documentary Festival takes place every year in mid-winter at the Theatre Royal, an iconic venue in central Victoria, Castlemaine, about 90 minutes from Melbourne. The Festival offers a curated program of superb Australian and international non-fiction films. Audiences are introduced to a series of fascinating worlds populated by captivating characters. With themed social events, industry panels and Q&A sessions, the aim is that the discussions continue long after the credits have rolled.
