Be part of Live & Local. Come to Geelong Library & Heritage Centre to watch these author events, live-streamed by Sydney Writers' Festival and screened only at the Library.

Greatly missed on TV screens, the nation’s favourite film critics Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton reunite in a special event discussing movie adaptations of Australian books. The famously sparring duo settle back into their critics’ chairs to offer their top five stand-out movies that do justice to the original text, the five-star films that bested the books and the flops that lost their lustre when transposed from page to screen.

Further program information available on the Sydney Writers' Festival website.

Please note, these events are only available to view either in-person (in Sydney) or via this livestream service to the Library. They are not available to view online. Events will be screened in the Level 2 Meeting Room at Geelong Library and Heritage Centre. Patrons are welcome to attend any and all sessions, all screenings are free and bookings are required. Seating will be socially distanced. As per current Coronavirus regulations, all visitors to the Library must register upon entry at the Concierge desk on Ground Floor.
