"GALORE" Screening and Q&A, Thursday April 17

Join us when we screen the acclaimed debut feature film from director Rhys Graham, Galore. Cinematographer Stefan Duscio and Rhys Graham will be present to discuss the film in a Q&A session after the film.
SYNOPSIS
"It's a sweltering summer before the final year of school and Billie and Laura share every secret except for Billie's biggest secret - she's crazy in love and sleeping with Laura's boyfriend, Danny. When Billie's social worker mum takes in Isaac, a troubled teenager looking to get his life straight, the delicate balance of the three friends' lives is disrupted. As bushfires threaten the edge of their suburbs and they immerse themselves in the swirl of parties, possible love and the intensity of sex and desire, the world of the four teenagers is changed forever as their secrets are revealed and their lives, friendships and loves are thrown into chaos.
ABOUT RHYS GRAHAM:
Rhys Graham, who was born in Penang, Malaysia and raised in Canberra, has worked as a director and writer for over a decade. Rhys’ most recent directorial credits include the feature documentaries murundak: Songs of Freedom and Words from the City (both co-directed with Natasha Gadd), the latter of which was nominated for five AACTA awards. Rhys directed one chapter of the acclaimed omnibus film ‘The Turning’ which will have it’s international premiere at Berlinale 2014. Rhys is also the director of a number of short films and documentaries including Love This Time, for which he received a Panorama Special Jury Mention at the 2006 Berlinale, and Skin, which was awarded Best Documentary at the Worldwide Short Film Festival.

"PATRICK" Screening and Q&A, Wednesday May 14

Coming up on May 14th, the very talented cinematographer Garry Richards and renowned director/writer Mark Hartley share with us their experiences shooting the chilling feature, Patrick. It promises to be an extremely informative and entertaining night. Possible special guest TBC.

SYNOPSIS:

CRUEL. CONTROLLING. COMATOSE.
For three years Patrick has been lying mute and immobile, a patient in an isolated clinic where renegade neurologist, Dr Roget (Charles Dance – GAME OF THRONES) conducts horrific experiments on the long term comatose, watched on by the glacial Matron Cassidy (Academy Award nominee, Rachel Griffiths – SIX FEET UNDER).

The arrival of a sympathetic nurse, Kathy (Sharni Vinson – YOUR’E NEXT) awakens desires in Patrick - and unleashes his pent-up psychic powers.
When Kathy uncovers a shocking secret about his past, Patrick’s lust for her intensifies into a deadly and bloody obsession - letting no one get in his way.

Based on the 1978 cult chiller – and boldly re-imagined by the director of the acclaimed NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD – PATRICK is “a superior, effectively nerve-rattling update” (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) that delivers “a satisfying onslaught of madness and mayhem that should leave viewers suitably drenched in perspiration” (THE GUARDIAN).

“PATRICK is a high-powered genre film that works fiendishly hard to satisfy its target demographic of squealers, thrill seekers and horror buffs.
They won’t leave disappointed.”
THE GUARDIAN

“There are few scare buttons left un-pushed in this 95 minute fast-paced thrill-fest.”
