As part of the Canberra and Region Heritage Festival, and to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Shine Dome and the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing, we will be holding a special screening of Hidden Figures.
Oscar-nominated film, Hidden Figures, tells the incredible story of three brilliant and inspiring African-American women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn.
The screening will be opened by Australia's Astronomer-at-Large, Professor Fred Watson.
Also, before the main feature, we will screen The 50th, a documentary by local filmmaker, Scott Holgate, that highlights the role two Canberrans (John Saxon and Mike Dunn) played in the Moon Landing in 1969.
Date: May 5 2019
Time: Doors open at 2.10pm. Movie begins at 2.30pm.
Cost: $12. Booking is essential as tickets at the door aren't guaranteed.
