HIDDEN Rookwood Short Films 2022 featured ten works relating to Rookwood Cemetery and spanning themes of memory, culture, family, belonging and grief rituals. These works were created with a variety of techniques and processes ranging from performance, self-portraiture and narrative to claymation, poetic drawing, mythic storytelling and observational documentary.

All Souls Chapel:
All Souls Chapel was built in 1954, in the art deco style, for Anglican funerals at Rookwood. In 2019 the chapel was extensively renovated to meet the needs of the many cultures that use Rookwood Cemetery. Now the All Souls Chapel beautifully combines heritage charm with state-of-the art facilities and disability access. It is used for multi-faith services and as a function centre.
