Below are the titles that will be screening right here at the Capri!

15th October, 7pm – JIMPA: OPENING NIGHT GALA

In Amsterdam, an Adelaide filmmaker and their non-binary teen reconnect with the family’s flamboyant patriarch. As old tensions resurface, Jimpa becomes a tender, emotionally precise portrait of queer family, care and the shifting boundaries between generations. Sophie Hyde’s most personal film yet, fresh from Sundance acclaim.

17th October, 6pm – IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY

In It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, documentary filmmaker Amy Berg turns the camera on his bandmates and the women who loved him and knew him best, to tell the story of a poetic artist full of life, with a natural born talent and an uncanny musical ear.

17th October, 8:30pm – IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU

Rose Byrne is astonishing as a working mother hanging on by the barest thread in this darkly comic dramedy. Therapist Linda’s 10-yearold daughter has some mysterious illness, is being fed by tube requiring constant care. At the same time Linda’s husband is away and the house floods.

19th October, 4.15pm: IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT

Despite bans and imprisonment, Iranian master filmmaker Jafar Panahi continues to make great humanist films. In the middle of the night a damaged car arrives at mechanic Vahid’s garage. He hears something that triggers him to believe that the driver of the car is the official who had tortured him. But as he never saw his face, can he really be sure?

19th October, 7pm – THE FOX

A trickster fox is let loose in the henhouse of Australian culture. Nick is an average good bloke, but when his fiancée strays, a fox promises to tame his foxy lady. An all-star cast is headed by Jai Courtney and Emily Browning, with the voices of Olivia Colman and Sam Neill.

25th October, 2pm – MAYA, GIVE ME A TITLE

Michel Gondry writes features, makes the coolest videos, and has the cutest daughter in the universe. He phones her every evening, and asks “Maya, give me a title,” then creates low-tech animations like Maya in the sea with a bottle of ketchup. Maya’s fantastic voyages will have the little ones dreaming, and the grown-ups smiling.

25th October, 4pm – JIMMY BARNES: WORKING CLASS MAN

Barnesy tells it straight. No varnish, no mythmaking. In Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man, the Cold Chisel frontman traces how childhood harm became adult chaos, then a hard-won recovery, laying mental health on the table with humour, frankness and zero rock star mystique.

26th October, 6pm – WOLFRAM

Warwick Thornton’s Wolfram unfolds in 1932 Central Australia, marking the follow up to his acclaimed Sweet Country (AFF 2017). Aboriginal children are forced into wolfram (tungsten) mining until violence entangles them with ruthless outlaws. At the heart of the story is Pansy, longing for her stolen children in a tightly wrought western of reckoning.

THE ENCAMPMENTS
2025-10-28 18:00 - 22:00
In response to the genocide occurring in Gaza, Teachers and School Staff for Palestine South Australia is organising a screening of The Encampments documentary and a mutual aid market to raise funds for the Lajee Centre at the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine. The proceeds from the screening will go directly towards providing backpacks and school supplies for children and young people in the camp.

The Encampments is a documentary about the U.S. student movement for Palestine, which began at Columbia University and spread across hundreds of campuses nationwide to protest their universities’ financial and political ties to the genocide in Gaza perpetuated by Israel and the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). The film follows student and staff activists and organizers as they risk institutional repression, arrests, and detention, repeatedly challenging universities to divest from companies and institutions complicit in the violence. The Encampments is a story of conscience and resistance, highlighting how students and communities can confront injustice, demand accountability, and stand in solidarity with Palestine.

The film screening will be followed by a live Q&A (via Zoom) with:

Munther, Director, Lajee Center

Angela Godfrey-Goldstein, Jahalin Solidarity

A representative from the General Union of Palestinian Teachers (TBC)

Munther and Angela will discuss the day-to-day operations of the Lajee Center, including its various programs supporting children, youth, and the local community in the Aida Refugee Camp.

A representative from the General Union of Palestinian Teachers will also join the panel to provide an overview of the current situation in Gaza and across Palestine, with a focus on education and the challenges faced by teachers and students.

His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery — one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? Join us as we explore the intriguing clues that help us to finally understand the life – and death – of this remarkable man.

FOREVER YOUNG
2026-02-08 15:00 - 17:00
FOREVER YOUNG – A Geoffrey Reed Film

This documentary is a true-life story of indomitable spirit by the world’s oldest competitive tennis player, set against the Russian War against Ukraine.

A heart-warming story about the life and times of the legendary Henry Young, now the world’s oldest competitive tennis player at 102 years of age.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II. The war brought a refugee crisis and over 1 million wounded and dead. In the news was a story about a Ukrainian Tennis player Leonid Stanislavskyi. Then 97, Leo held the Guinness world record oldest competitive tennis player title.

Geoffrey checked with Henry who is six months older. The Russian Invasion was an outrage. I remember the frustration of feeling powerless to do anything about it. This triggered Geoffrey’s idea for Henry to challenge Leonid for the title. The match was called The Clash of the Centurions to raise money for Ukraine war victims.

Henry was on-board in a heart-beat. Together we filmed Henry’s challenge Ukraine’s Leonid Stanislavskyi, to a match to decide the title role. Leonid was then refusing to leave his apartment in Kharkiv, which was severely bombed during the Russian invasion.

Australia’s National Newspaper has called our Clash of the Centurions the best “good news story” of the year in 2022-23.

The 2023 Australian Open loved the story too. We got a greenlight and Clash of the Centurions match was played on centre court at Rod Laver Arena in January 2023. A sell-out crowd of 15,000 watch our centurions play alongside Zverev and Tiafo together with Rafa, Andy Murray, Demon and other world’s top players in a fundraiser for Ukraine War victims.

After the 2023 Australian Open, Tennis Plays for Peace, run by the ATP, WTP, ITF and the 4 Grand Slams had raised over $4 million for Ukraine war victims.

Forever Young then showcases Henry’s newfound celebrity as a guest on The Front Bar, The Project, plus his many remarkable exploits on and off the court. These include: Skiing at Mount Buller, winning the ITF Super Seniors Singles in Majorca, Spain. Inducted into the ITF Hall Of Fame, Co-Piloting a Jet Fighter, and receiving an OAM from Her Excellency Frances Adamson at Government House the week before his 102nd birthday.

Forever Young will have its world premiere at The Capri Cinema Goodwood at 3pm on Sunday February 8, 2026.

FOREVER YOUNG MOVIE TICKETS on sale at HUMANITIX

Henry, Geoffrey and David Penberthy will appear onstage after the movie to conduct a Q&A with the audience. First public release DVD copies of Forever Young will be on sale for $25 in the foyer. Mail orders $30 including postage. Part Profits to Ukraine War Victims charity Tennis Plays for Peace.

MEET THE FILMMAKER: DEAN SPRAAKMAN

Adelaide-born filmmaker Dean Spraakman spent five years documenting the elusive leafy seadragon — an animal whose behaviour is still largely unknown to science.

Living locally allowed Spraakman to return again and again to the same dive site, patiently observing individual dragons and gradually earning rare moments on camera, including behaviour that had never been filmed before.

Balancing the project with a young family and two businesses, Spraakman ultimately crafted A Dragon’s Dance as both a visual tribute and a conservation story, highlighting the growing threats facing leafy sea dragons in South Australian waters.

Now selected for the Ocean Film Festival World Tour 2026, his film will screen across Australia this March before travelling internationally later in the year — taking an Adelaide-made ocean story to the world.

Exhibition on Screen: Turner & Constable
2026-03-15 16:00 - 17:30
Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Purple Rain
2026-04-18 19:00 - 21:00
In 1984, Prince didn’t just release an album — he unleashed a phenomenon. Purple Rain became a cultural lightning bolt, blending music, drama and autobiography into one of the most iconic rock films ever made.

The Story:Prince stars as “The Kid,” a gifted but troubled Minneapolis musician navigating rivalry, romance and a turbulent home life while fighting to keep his band — The Revolution — on top at a local nightclub. At its heart, Purple Rain is about finding your voice, breaking cycles, and turning pain into art.

Why It Matters:

Made on a modest budget of around $7 million, the film grossed over $70 million worldwide.

The soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time, spending 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the US.

It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

The legendary title track “Purple Rain” was recorded live at Minneapolis’ First Avenue club — the very venue that inspired the film’s setting.

Marking ten years since Prince’s passing, this screening is more than a movie night — it’s a celebration of a once-in-a-generation artist whose style, sound and fearless individuality still electrify the screen.

Let’s go crazy… one more time. 💜

When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions? Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

This is a special event screening, so we’ve included a glass of bubbles in your ticket price AND the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ will play the session in. There will be a non-alcoholic bubbles option available.

There’s another screening on Sunday the 31st of May at 3pm.

Love Soul Deep + The Blues Brothers
2026-06-05 19:00 - 22:45
Get ready to shake a tail feather at the Capri.

Before the suits, the sunglasses and the squad car chaos hit the big screen, Love Soul Deep – a powerhouse 9-piece band – will bring the rhythm and blues to life on stage with a live set inspired by The Blues Brothers.

Expect big brass, driving rhythms and the unforgettable hits made famous by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues. Think “Soul Man,” “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love,” and “Shake a Tail Feather” — performed the way they’re meant to be heard: loud, live and with plenty of attitude.

Then settle in for the film that turned a sketch from Saturday Night Live into a full-throttle musical comedy classic — complete with legendary cameos from Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and James Brown.

It’s a mission from God… and you’re invited.

One stage. One screen. All the soul.

Don a suit and tie and go in the running to win a prize!!

Dancing in the aisles is strongly advised!!
