London Australian Film Society presents special ANZAC Day screenings of Gallipoli (1981), the landmark Australian film directed by Peter Weir.

Starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee, Gallipoli follows two young men from Western Australia whose friendship is tested against the backdrop of the First World War. Charting their journey from rural youth to the frontlines of the Gallipoli campaign, the film remains one of the most powerful and enduring works of Australian cinema — a moving reflection on identity, loyalty and the cost of war.

Presented on ANZAC Day, these screenings offer a chance to revisit Weir’s acclaimed film on the big screen, as part of a wider celebration of his work in London.
