A man. A house. The state. And no way out.

This Sunday we’re screening Andrei Zvyagintsev’s Leviathan — one of the most important Russian-language films of the last decade. The kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll.

Watch it with us. Talk about it with us.

Человек. Дом. Система. И никакого выхода.

В это воскресенье смотрим «Левиафан» Звягинцева — одно из самых важных русскоязычных кино последнего десятилетия. Из тех фильмов, которые не отпускают ещё долго после финальных титров.

Смотрим вместе. Обсуждаем вместе.

In Frame Film Club | Leviathan (2014) Screening & Discussion in English

Join us on June 21 for a screening of Leviathan, the acclaimed film by Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev.

Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, Leviathan is a powerful drama about an ordinary man confronting corruption, power, and fate in a small town on Russia's northern coast. Rich in symbolism and unforgettable imagery, the film continues to spark discussion more than a decade after its release.

📅 Date: June 21
🕒 Time: 3:00 PM
📍 Location: 118 Greeves St, Fitzroy
🎟 Entry: Donation

After the screening, we'll have an open discussion about the film's themes, symbolism, and its place in contemporary cinema.

⭐ Special bonus: Earlier this month, the host of In Frame Film Club attended the Sydney Film Festival, where he met Andrey Zvyagintsev in person, received an autograph, and participated in his masterclass. He'll share insights from the event, impressions of the director, and discuss Zvyagintsev's upcoming film.

🎥 Открытие сезона киноклуба “В кадре”: "Я — начало"

Приглашаем вас на открытие нового сезона киноклуба “В кадре” с фильмом "Я — начало" — глубокой и чувственной историей о науке, любви и поиске смысла.

Этот фильм соединяет в себе научный подход и философские размышления о душе, судьбе и том, что невозможно объяснить логикой. Это история, которая заставляет задуматься о том, где проходит граница между знанием и верой.

После показа мы обсудим фильм, поделимся мыслями и попробуем вместе разобраться в его смыслах.

✨ Просмотр будет проходить в обновленном зале

On December 12, 2020, the newly formed Young Guard collective hosted its first official gig…

It’s been 5 years since then… 😲

Who could have thought it would bring us to where we are now – spinning all sorts of events: from block parties to art exhibits, from lectures to movie nights, from intellectual games to theatrical performances.

What began with six friends who happened to find themselves in Brunswick sharehouse, has since grown into a team of more than 20 active members, spread not only across Melbourne but around the globe.

A lot has changed, but one thing hasn’t: we’re still driven by the pure joy of sharing our culture and simply having fun together.

Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported us along the way — for showing up, for cheering us on, and for buying tickets.

Made by the community, for the community
