For thousands of years, the land that the Sydney Opera House is built on was a gathering place for the Gadigal and Eora people and Bennelong Point was called Tubowgule which literally means “where the magic waters meet”.

This October, Sydney will be bringing back some of that magic with Homeground, a festival celebrating the very best First Nations artists from Australia and around the world. There’s going to be music, dance, food, workshops and markets over two exciting days. Be on the lookout for food demonstrations by chef Clayton Donovan, plus performances from Amrita Hepi, Leonard Sumner, Airileke, Trinity Roots, East Journey and Dubmarine. There’s also going to be Australia’s first ever national Indigenous dance competition.

Stanley Kubrick was a master of cinema  responsible for some of the 20th century’s most dazzling films. His work has come to represent film making at its most astonishing, challenging, and psychologically spellbinding and the Orpheum’s festival is your chance to catch a few (or all) of his classics back on the big screen. The Hayden Orpheum will be playing all 13 of his timeless films from A Clockwork Orange to The Shining, Dr. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket. There will also be a special screening of AI: Artificial Intelligence – one of the films Kubrick was working on prior to his death and subsequently finished by Steven Spielberg.
