Archibald Prize Film Program: Fame

Celebrity, notoriety, controversy, scandal – the history of the Archibald Prize is no stranger to these. Exploring the heights and pitfalls of fame, this series of feature films takes us on a dizzying journey among individuals who are desperate to be recognised, idols who would rather die than live anonymously, fans who vie for their attention and profiteers and bounty hunters who exploit them.

Free entry tickets are issued at the Domain Theatre 30 minutes prior to commencement of the film. Please note that seating is limited and cannot be guaranteed.
