Cult Classics with Venus Mantrap

National Film and Sound Archive of Australia

Seductive drag, film geekery and cult classics for an electric night out. Each event features a pre-screening live performance by drag artist Venus Mantrap in our beautiful art deco Arc Cinema. The 2026 program spans eleven Friday nights starting from February through to December, featuring Susan Seidelman's punk-infused comedies, Coen brothers' noir thrillers and Kathryn Bigelow's dystopian visions. Each screening is carefully selected to celebrate cult cinema in all its daring and stylish glory.
