👯🪄 Twin sisters, travelling illusionists and trains vanishing into the dark.
Poetic, strange, and impossible to categorise, 'Az én XX századom (My Twentieth Century)' is part fairytale, part historical reverie, part philosophical dream.
Director Ildikó Enyedi transforms the birth of the modern world into something uncanny and luminous – full of shadows, wonder, coincidence and quiet magic.
Every image feels suspended between invention and memory, as though cinema itself were dreaming about the 20th century.
🎞️ 'Az én XX századom (My Twentieth Century)' 1989 Ages 15+
📅 11.00am, Sun 17 May
📍 GOMA Cinema

Went to the (prettiest) museum today - QAGOMA
Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) and Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane have the best architecture and presentation, art at the service of art; pool in the gallery and butterflies on the walls 🦋
A goddess restored 🪷
Step inside the careful restoration of Raja Ravi Varma’s ‘Laxmi’ by QAGOMA’s Conservation team.
Created more than 100 years ago, this richly detailed work represents Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity, and underwent complex conservation to stabilise and protect it for the future. 🦢
On display now in ‘The God of Small Things: Faith and Popular Culture’ at QAG, 🔗 in bio.

💀 Two sisters. One murder. A stolen identity with deadly consequences.
🎬’ La Otra’ is a dazzling slice of Mexican noir, with Dolores Del Rio giving a mesmerising dual performance as two sisters locked in a deadly game of envy and deception.
Moody shadows, razor-sharp tension and a story where no one is truly innocent make this Golden Age classic unforgettable.
‘La Otra (The Other One)’ 1946 Ages 12+

A scene from @studioolafureliasson Presence at @qagoma . A multicoloured, Sims-esque visual representation of the frenetic pace at the start of 2026. While nothing has made it to the grid this year, life has been turning.
Photo shoots that never quite landed here. Dinners across Brisbane that deserved more airtime. Saying goodbye to long hair, and a new business entering the world. More to come.
Popping this back on your radar 🔔
🏆 Archie Moore's prestigious Golden Lion award-winning Venice Biennale artwork 'kith and kin' is on display now on level 3 at GOMA.
