Gallipoli

Quintessentially Australian. It builds so powerfully to one of the most devastating final moments and last shots in the history of cinema. ” Alexei Toliopoulos

Australian cinema’s most acclaimed war drama Gallipoli, comes to the TPH this ANZAC Day.

As World War I rages, brave and youthful Australians Archy and Frank—both agile runners—become friends and enlist in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps together. They later find themselves part of the Dardanelles Campaign on the Gallipoli peninsula, a brutal eight-month conflict which pit the British and their allies against the Ottoman Empire and left over 500,000 men dead.

Peter Weir’s 1981 Australian classic.
