Hear My Eyes: Memento
9 August @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEST

Before the billion-dollar blockbusters. Before Batman. Before Oppenheimer. Memento was the film that introduced Christopher Nolan to the world.
26 years ago, Nolan released his second feature film, Memento. This independent thriller quickly became a cultural phenomenon, earning Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Memento introduced the world to Nolan’s narrative puzzles, fractured timelines and obsessive attention to detail that would come to define his work.
For this special presentation, an acclaimed artist will create an all-new score performed live alongside the film.
Part film screening, part live concert, Hear My Eyes has spent over a decade creating immersive cinema experiences, building a loyal following through collaborations including Terminator 2: Judgment Day with Peter Van Hoesen and Robin Fox, Chopper with Springtime and Mick Harvey, Wake in Fright with Surprise Chef and Pan’s Labyrinth with Sleep D.
For Nolan devotees and anyone who loves cinema that takes risks, revisit the cult classic reimagined live with an all-new score.
