Europa! Europa Film Festival – Below the Clouds, Afternoons of Solitude

The festival of European cinema is on in Melbourne, and so far I’ve seen a couple of unusual documentaries: a meditative portrait of the city of Naples that’s both beautiful and unglamorous, and a fly-on-the-wall look at a bullfighting superstar and the controversial Spanish custom.

Hear My Eyes – Terminator 2: Judgment Day @ Hamer Hall

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings @ Forum Theatre

I missed out on the duo’s 2025 run at Hamer Hall, so I was stoked to see them return so soon, and playing at my favourite Melbourne live venue.
