Red Dog is based on the true story of the red dog who roamed the Australian outback in search of his long-lost master.

Starring Josh Lucas and Rachael Taylor, this film runs for 92 minutes and is rated PG. Screenings are at 2pm (non-captioned) and 4pm (captioned).
Films being shown at RPAC are designed to inspire, inform and engage audiences through Australian storytelling. Tickets are $8 for a single film or $14 for two films on the same day.
