Join us in celebrating 25 years of The Dish, the heartwarming and hilarious Australian classic brought to life by the legendary Working Dog team—Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Jane Kennedy, Rob Sitch, and Michael Hirsh.

This special anniversary screening also honours the extraordinary achievements of Working Dog, this year’s Longford Lyell Award recipients. Over the decades, they’ve given us some of the most entertaining experiences across film and television, from The Castle and Utopia to Have You Been Paying Attention? Set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, The Dish is based on a true story of how a small-town Aussie team and their iconic Parkes radio telescope helped broadcast one of humanity’s greatest achievements. 

Featuring unforgettable performances from Sam Neill, Kevin Harrington, and Patrick Warburton, the film is a testament to Aussie ingenuity, humour, and teamwork. Don’t miss this chance to revisit a remastered cinematic gem and celebrate the creators who continue to shape Australian screen culture.
