#Wgtnfilmsoc opened the year’s programme… 2 full houses for a 50 year old filum about school girls in 1900 getting lost on a rock. I have to say a lump of pride in the throat when SA Film Corporation came up in the opening credits. I was about 10 growing up in Adelaide. It was everywhere at the time of initial release… bloody pan pipes morning noon and night 😂. Amazing to watch… #PicnicAtHangingRock a big 👍 to everyone who turned out to make it feel like a community. And also to the film soc - 80 yrs!

@v_for_verbosity only a handful of empty seats! Amazing for a monday night right at the start of Uni/school year.

What did you think of the movie? 🙂

@wavygk that's incredible. We must surely be one of the biggest film societies in the world.

I didn't love the film, tbh, but it was pretty striking, and I can see it deserves its iconic status. Letting my thoughts percolate a bit more before trying to write a mini review.

@v_for_verbosity fair enough. It is so iconic from my past I can't possibly be objective.

@wavygk @v_for_verbosity heh. About ten years ago, we were on the wheel in Melbourne, taking in the views. Him: “That’s Hanging Rock over there”
Me: “We should take a picnic there when we get the car”
Him: 😬
