Hats Off

Hats Off

ACMI presents its annual festival of fine films for discerning audiences as part of the 2010 Victorian Seniors' Festival.

This year's festival kicks off with the Melbourne premiere of the inspirational Hats Off, based on the life and very stylish times of American model and actress, Mimi Weddell.

Alongside an international selection of contemporary comedies and compelling dramas, two animated features, a Doris Day musical from 1953 and both the classic 1938 Errol Flynn and more recent screen versions of Robin Hood, this year's bumper program also features a spotlight on fabulous sexagenarian, Meryl Streep.
