Director: Peter Weir
Cast: Rachel Roberts, Helen Morse, Jacki Weaver

On Valentine’s Day in 1900, three young women and an instructor from Appleyard College disappear during a visit to Hanging Rock, a massive volcanic formation. Adapted from a novel by Joan Lindsay, Weir’s movie traces the disappearance and the aftermath, resulting in a haunting, unsettling, and at times beautiful cinematic experience. An hypnotic study of class conflict and sexual repression in Australia during the Victorian era, Picnic at Hanging Rock will be shown in a new 4K restoration.
