Picnic at Hanging Rock (Peter Weir, 1975, 35mm, 107 mins)

New print! This enigmatic Australian New Wave masterpiece delves into the mysteries of a clutch of Victorian schoolgirls roving through the wilderness on a hot summer afternoon. Renowned for its BAFTA-winning cinematography, the tensely lyrical drama is “filled with palpable dread and rich iconography that is delivered with spellbinding artistry” (Matthew Pejkovic). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

The “Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ’70 M.Phil., ’72 Ph.D.
