Year: 2013

OutInCanberra thanks to Nixco and STUDIOCANAL are giving away 10 double passes to a special preview screening of The Way, Way Back o Tuesday July 16 at Hoyts Belconnen.

THE WAY, WAY BACK is the funny and poignant coming-of-age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter Steph (Zoe Levin). Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park.

CineCity Canberra: 1913–2013 is a free exhibition highlighting the diversity of the enduring connection between Canberra and its residents with film through stills, photographs, posters and the moving image.

Pioneer filmmakers Raymond Longford and Ernest Higgins filmed Naming the Federal Capital of Australia, March 12th 1913 for Spencer’s Pictures, which was under contract to the Commonwealth Government to record this unique moment — the birth of a city.

The Novotel Canberra is proud to be the official accommodation partner of the Turner from the Tate: The Making of a Master exhibition that opened on 1 June 2013 at the National Gallery of Australia.
