You may know LEMONADE as Beyoncé's visual album. But director Kahlil Joseph's cut is something else: a film shaped by grief, joy and the creative energy of the Underground Museum in Los Angeles.
Set in Louisiana and carried by music, it moves through memory, betrayal and reclamation toward healing and empowerment. We're bringing the rare Director's Cut to Melbourne for its Australian premiere!
🖤Don't miss it. Screening 4 & 22 June at ACMI.

Think the beginning of cinema was all black and white? Think again.
Artists have been colouring films since films were invented. It's estimated that about 80% of films made between the 1890s and 1920s were coloured using tinting, toning, stencilling and hand-colouring 🎨
From the mid-1890s, colourists like Elisabeth Thuillier led the way. In her Paris workshop, Thuillier employed 200 women who worked in a production line, each painting a single colour on the film.
