Here’s a list of what’s on in Canberra this weekend, 23-25 July if you’re feeling adventurous in spite of the weather and many cancellations of late.
Arnie Fest at the NFSA, 23 July
See Arnold Schwarzenegger at his best in these two crowd-pleasing, science-fiction spectaculars from the early 90s at the NFSA’s double-feature tonight – hasta la vista, baby!
Often regarded as one of the finest science-fiction movies of the 90s and a rare instance, like The Godfather: Part II, where the sequel is better than the original, Terminator 2: Judgement will be screened at The Arc Cinema from 6pm tonight.
Then, see Arnie take a virtual vacation to Mars in 1990 cult hit Total Recall on at 9pm; book here.
Dami Im at The Playhouse, 23 July
Korean-born Australian singer-songwriter Dami Im brings her first ever solo tour to Canberra for a special and intimate evening of Piano, Songs & Stories.
Beginning her musical journey as a virtuoso pianist, Dami is renowned for her emotive and powerful vocals since capturing our hearts in 2013 when she won The X Factor Australia.
Piano, Songs & Stories provides a unique insight into a remarkable performer and her experience as she brings new life to her chart-topping hits and fan favourites.
Dami Im’s Piano, Songs & Stories is on at The Playhouse, Civic, 23 July from 8pm; tickets here.
Spirited Away 20th Anniversary screening at Dendy Canberra, 23-24 July

Hannah Gadsby at Canberra Theatre, 23-29 July
After the unanticipated roaring global success of Melbourne comedian Hannah Gadsby’s 2018 show Nanette and then her 2019 show Douglas saw her tour the world, COVID-19 has seen her bunker down back at home.
Fortunately, being in Australia at this particular moment in history means that Hannah is able to premiere Body of Work in her homeland.
Her national tour is at the Canberra Theatre, 23-29 July; canberratheatrecentre.com.au
Brahms’s German Requiem at Llewellyn Hall, 24 July
Emerging from the enforced hibernation of 2020, the Canberra Choral Society and National Capital Orchestra are incredibly pleased to continue their traditional annual collaboration with the performance of Johannes Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem.
The program will be performed under the baton of Leonard Weiss, Saturday 24 July 3pm at Llewellyn Hall, ANU; canberrachoralsociety.org
