Curated by Emmett Aldred and Keva York, Presented in partnership with Composite Documentary Meets
Dates: Every third Thursday of the Month
‘Documentary Meets’ is a year-long collection of non-fiction film screening events curated by Emmett Aldred and Keva York, presented in partnership with Composite on the third Thursday of each month.
Guided by a monthly topic relevant to the local calendar and community, each film has been chosen to muster awareness and incite conversation - on pride; sex work; kin; colonisation, et al. - with guest speakers on hand to offer a viewing framework.
Doors and drinks start from 7; introduction and screening from 7.30.
Tickets for the upcoming screening are available via the above link ($10 waged / $5 unwaged / no one turned away for lack of funds). Seating allocations will be on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and capacity is limited to 25.

The space is wheelchair accessible and the film will be captioned.
The programmers and facilitators would like to highlight that ‘Documentary Meets’ screenings take place on stolen and unceded Wurundjeri Land. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and operate.
