Balmy summer evenings mean it is time once again to pack the esky, shake out the rug and get the family together for this year’s free Movies in the Park program. These fun, outdoor screenings include healthy activities before each film with Casey and her team. Action/Comedy, Rated PG, 110 Minutes Starring Steve Carell, Alan Arkin, Anne Hathaway, Terence Stamp Maxwell Smart is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23. Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart - armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm - must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried.

In World War I, brothers Jack and Bert Grinton from central Victoria found themselves serving in the trenches of France and Belgium. 90 years later, more than 1,500 negatives and photographs taken by Jack and Bert were discovered inside a biscuit tin stored for decades in a shed on the Grinton farm. The images were taken by the brothers with the cameras they carried with them – against all regulations – during the war. This collection is a unique addition to the historical record, capturing people and places often overlooked by official war photographs whilst also highlighting the development and artistry of amateur photography. A Bendigo Art Gallery Travelling Exhibition.
