Picnic at Hanging Rock

50th Anniversary

To mark the 50th anniversary of Picnic at Hanging Rock, the Haifa Festival is screening the cult film that put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Ravishingly beautiful and thoroughly mysterious, Picnic has mesmerized audiences since its release and influenced generations of filmmakers.

St Valentine’s Day, 1900. On a stifling summer day, a party of boarders at an exclusive College and their chaperones, travel to the magnificent ancient rock formation at Mt. Macedon. When one of the teachers and three of the senior girls vanish during the course of the afternoon, their disappearance sets off a chain of disquieting and tragic events.

Filmography: The Truman Show (1998), Dead Poets Society (1989), Witness (1985).
