Director – Peter Weir

Returning to the big screen to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Peter Weir’s adaption of Joan Lindsay’s novel has lost none of its mystique or mesmerising power.

In the early 1900s, Miranda (Anne Lambert) attends a girls boarding school in Australia. One Valentine's Day, the school's typically strict headmistress (Rachel Roberts) treats the girls to a picnic field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. Despite rules against it, Miranda and several other girls venture off. It's not until the end of the day that the faculty realises the girls and one of the teachers have disappeared mysteriously.
