One Of A Kind: Tribute To Antoinette Starkiewicz

TICKETS
SOLD OUT

Join us for a retrospective screening honouring the bold and unforgettable work of Polish-Australian animator Antoinette Starkiewicz. Known for her dazzling and vibrant animation, Antoinette’s creations were often as irreverent and raunchy as they were bewitchingly delicate. Often inspired by music and dance, Antoinette’s filmography explores themes of feminine sexuality and agency, critiques of commercialism, the ‘sanitisation’ of art, and more. Truly one of a kind, her body of work leaves a lasting impact on animation history. Celebrate Antoinette’s legacy with us and stay for a Q&A panel discussion.

Note: films contain mild sexual themes and nudity. Leave your pearls at the door.
