Call Directions

Rockhampton's independent film club - hosting monthly screenings at the Walter Reid Cultural Centre. Everyone welcome! Our favourite part?

Rocky Flix is a volunteer-run film club run that offers our community the opportunity to experience independent films, usually only screened in the capital cities and at film festivals. Rocky Flix started in 2003 to enable local film lovers to access foreign and alternative films in a social and welcoming environment. Films are usually scheduled on the 1st or 2nd Thursday of the month and are held at the Walter Reid Cultural Centre Auditorium. After the film, we stick around for great food, w**e and conversation! Tickets are sold at the door. Members $12, Concession $13 and Non-Members $17. Annual membership entitles you to one free screening a year. Pro rata membership is $40. Rocky Flix is also the proud host of the spectacular annual Manhattan Short Film Festival. DM us with any questions! We'd love to see you at a Rocky Flix soon!

🎬 ROCKY FLIX PRESENTS: THE COUNTY 🇮🇸

Join Rocky Flix on Thursday 5 November for a wonderful evening of Icelandic cinema at the historic Walter Reid Cultural Centre!

🐄 THE COUNTY (2019) — 92 minutes
Icelandic film with English subtitles

From the acclaimed director of Rams comes a compelling blend of drama, dark humour and David-versus-Goliath determination.

When dairy farmer Inga is left to run her farm alone, she decides she's had enough of the powerful local co-operative exploiting farmers in her remote Icelandic valley. But standing up to corruption in a close-knit community comes at a cost.

With breathtaking Icelandic landscapes, a spirited female lead and plenty of wry humour, The County is a story about courage, community and fighting for what's right.

📅 Thursday 5 November 2026
📍 Walter Reid Cultural Centre, Rockhampton
🍿 Screening starts at 7.00pm
🍷 Bar and tickets open from 6.15pm

🎟️ Tickets available at the door:
• Members $10
• Concession $15
• Guests $17

Come alone or bring a friend, enjoy a drink and the complimentary supper, and discover great international cinema with Rocky Flix.

Everyone is welcome!
