The Alliance Française French Film Festival 2026 continues its celebrated run across the city today, Tuesday, April 7.

Today’s schedule features a curated selection of contemporary dramas and comedies that have recently premiered at major international festivals. It is an ideal way to spend a Tuesday afternoon or evening, offering a sophisticated escape into European storytelling without leaving Western Australia.

Step Back in Time with Titanic: The Human Story

For those interested in history and narrative, the newly opened exhibition Titanic: The Human Story is currently showing at the Northbridge Centre. This immersive experience moves away from technical facts to focus on the personal lives of the passengers and crew. Visitors can explore over 200 original objects and personal effects, many of which are linked to specific individuals on the ill-fated voyage. Through diary entries, letters, and reconstructed interiors, the exhibition provides a deeply emotional look at the 1912 tragedy. Today is a great opportunity to visit and avoid the larger weekend crowds.

Immersive Wonders at WA Museum Boola Bardip

The WA Museum Boola Bardip is hosting several major exhibitions today that are perfect for families and tech enthusiasts alike:

• OceanXperience

  This high-tech, interactive exhibition allows you to step onto the OceanXplorer, one of the world's most advanced marine research vessels. Through virtual reality and immersive media, visitors can explore the mysteries of the deep sea and learn about the cutting-edge technology used in ocean conservation.

• Biomass

  Located within Jubilee Hall, Biomass transforms the museum space into a digital gallery. This exhibition features virtual reality and extended reality artworks from global artists, exploring the complex relationship between humans, technology, and the natural world.

Art Spotlights and Community Meetups

In Fremantle, the Japingka Gallery is currently showcasing two significant exhibitions: "From the Desert" and "Recent Works – Tarisse King." As these exhibitions are scheduled to conclude tomorrow, today is one of the final chances for art collectors and enthusiasts to view these vibrant works of Aboriginal art.
