In her latest book, we are reminded that our native lyrebirds are brilliant mimics. So, if one mimics a screaming woman, might it have been a witness? But how does a young PhD student and a new detective convince anyone that a bird can be a reliable witness especially when there’s no body.

A bold and original imagining of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell’s “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness.
The film also stars alongside Oscar nominee Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, BAFTA winner Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell.
Fennell directs from her own screenplay based on the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, and produces alongside Oscar nominee and BAFTA award winner Josey McNamara and Robbie. Oscar nominee Tom Ackerley and Sara Desmond are executive producing.
Behind the scenes, Fennell worked with such frequent collaborators as Oscar- and BAFTA-winning director of photography Linus Sandgren, Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated production designer Suzie Davies, BAFTA-nominated editor Victoria Boydell, award-winning casting director Kharmel Cochrane and BAFTA-nominated composer Anthony Willis. Oscar and BAFTA winner Jacqueline Durran designed the costumes. Original songs by Charli xcx.

THE LITTLE MACHINE PREVIEW SUNDAY, 15TH MARCH 2026, 1-3PM
IAF Members and friends are invited by The Little Machine to a private preview of Aldo Iacobelli's Exhibition, Ghostly Pages curated byEleen Deprez and Michael Newall, winners of the 2025 IAF sponsored Critics' Circle Award for Innovation on Sunday, 15th March 2026, 1pm to 3pm at The Little Machine, Shop 37 Regent Arcade, Rundle Mall, Adelaide
Eleen and Michael will give a short introduction to Aldo's new body of work and say a few words about The Little Machine as an organisation and maybe share a sneak peak of their upcoming program....
Whilst this is a free ticketed event you must book a ticket to be able to come along. Places are limited! Book Here The Little Machine will provide tea, coffee and biscuits. Cash bar with wine also available.
Ghostly Pages presents a new body of work by acclaimed South Australian artist Aldo Iacobelli. Moving between memory and erasure, presence and disappearance, Iacobelli’s work hovers in the space between remembering and forgetting. His practice, spanning several decades, continues a philosophical enquiry into the human condition, cruelty, love, and existential mystery. Ghostly Pages, showcases a collection of paintings and drawings that quietly ruminate on memory and stories lingering in the artist’s mind. Each work is simply titled with a page number, as though it was torn from a book whose cover we have lost. "p3" builds on a story Aldo's mother told him. As a child in Italy she laboured for another family, often drifting to sleep in the stables with the horses. This memory emerges in the work as a dreamlike image. The other works likewise seem to grasp at fleeting moments that linger in the mind of the artist or haunt his dreams. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of events, including a conversation with writer Linda Marie Walker whose book “Looking for painting … amidst a thousand other things” we are publishing later this yea
