Good afternoon Member
G’day, my lovely friends! 😍 Welcome back to another exciting edition of our newsletter! I (Athena) hope you all had a brilliant weekend, filled with laughter, love, and maybe a little adventure along the way! Mine was an absolute treat, having spent it with the fabulous SDC team. We had so much fun together, it’s always a joy to be surrounded by such amazing people! Anyway, before I get too carried away with my weekend tales, let’s dive into the juicy bits—you won’t want to miss it!

Little did he know that this fleeting clip would go on to become the oldest surviving film, offering a glimpse into the past and paving the way for modern cinema. Watch it here!
