## Resource

It's time to pack our bags and take another cinematic vacation around the world for International Month! And this year, in honor of Ticklish Biz's 10 year anniversary, I'm going to take a vacation by watching the films of some of our international Patrons. First, we're stopping off in Australia, the home of our most international Patrons and talking about Peter Weir's 1975 feature Picnic at Hanging Rock. Joining me on this cinematic adventure is TCM host Alicia Malone! Alicia and I talk about Peter Weir, the tenets of an Aussie film, and the freaky world of author Joan Lindsay!
