‘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 our 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.

Join us on Thursday, February 18 for the ‘Documentary Meets’ program launch. Doors and drinks start from 7; introduction and surprise screening (on the theme ‘Firsts’) from 7.30.

Details of the films and wider program will be announced at the event. Seating allocations will be on a ‘first come, first seved’ basis and capacity is limited to 25. The space is wheelchair accessible and the film will be captioned. Attendees are advised that our launch party film features triggering content on the theme of anorexia and graphic archival images pertaining to the Vietnam War.

The programmers and facilitators would like to highlight that ‘Documentary Meets’ screenings will 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.
