SCREENING FROM JUNE 12th

Before William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet catapulted him to superstardom, Baz Luhrmann’s visual panache, and taste for the unconventional was on display in Strictly Ballroom, his scintillating debut feature. When rule-breaking dancer Scott (Paul Mercurio) partners with novice Fran (Tara Morice), they challenge the rigid world of competitive ballroom. Bursting with colour, humour, and unforgettable music, this 4K presentation celebrates Luhrmann’s bold, theatrical vision.
