THE IMPRESSIONISTS AND
THE MAN WHO MADE THEM
Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Renoir: some of the world’s
most popular artists. Their works, and that of their
contemporaries, fetch tens of millions of dollars
around the globe. But who were they really? Why and
how exactly did they paint? What lies behind their
enduring appeal?
To help answer these questions, this unique film
secured unparalleled access to a major new
exhibition focussing on the man credited with
inventing Impressionism as we know it: 19th century
Parisian art collector Paul Durand-Ruel.
This energetic and revealing film will tell his remarkable
story along with that of the Impressionists themselves

THE GOOD LIE
Join us for a post-screening Q&A with
Rosemary Kariuki-Fyfe (cast member of The
Baulkham Hills African Ladies Troupe, founder
of the African Village Market and Parramatta’s
2012 Citizen of the Year) and Lucy Morgan
(Information and Policy Coordinator at the
Refugee Council of Australia).
They were known simply as ‘The Lost Boys’.
Orphaned by the brutal Civil War in Sudan that
began in 1983, these young victims travelled as
many as a thousand miles on foot in search of
safety. Fifteen years later, a humanitarian effort
would bring 3600 lost boys and girls to America.
The Good Lie brings the story of their survival and
triumph to life.

JULIUS CAESAR
êêêê
By William Shakespeare
When Caesar returns to Rome from the wars a
virtual dictator, Brutus and his republican friends
resolve that his ambition must be curbed – which
in Rome can mean only one thing: the great general
must be assassinated.
Shakespeare’s tense drama of high politics reveals
the emotional currents that flow between men
in power, a theme that still resonates today. This
sell-out production features authentic Renaissance
costumes and staging. Captured live on stage at
London’s Globe Theatre and screening at Riverside.
