Join us at Backlot on Wednesday May 14th when we screen "Patrick" from a glorious DCP
 |
The very talented cinematographer Garry Richards and renowned director 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 YOURE NEXT) awakens desires in Patrick - and unleashes his pent-up psychic powers.
When Kathy uncovers a shocking secret about his past, Patricks 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 wont leave disappointed.
THE GUARDIAN
There are few scare buttons left un-pushed in this 95 minute fast-paced thrill-fest.

AND COMING UP ON JUNE 4th
.
THIS IS A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY
So let's say you are sitting around and someone says, "Hey, you know the Academy Award winning DP who shot Rain Man and The English Patient, the one he got the Oscar for? Oh and he also shot Dead Poets Society and Harry Potter and the one about the boat with Clooney, Perfect Storm? And there's The Talented Mr Ripley, Cold Mountain and Gorillas In The Mist and Children Of A Lesser God, and a heap more, you know the guy, John Seale ACS ASC? Yeah well he's coming to Melbourne for the ACS on June 4 to talk about making Mad Max:Fury Road. Oh, and David Burr ACS who shot his Action Unit on the film is coming along too. And they're going to tell all." And you say, "No Way!! Are you kidding?" "How do I get into that room? I can't even imagine what I could learn from that opportunity".
Well, it's going to happen. Exclusively for the ACS, John Seale ACS ASC and David Burr ACS are taking their account of shooting "Fury Road", on the road. Ahead of its theatrical release, the guys are going to discuss how they went about shooting the film by sharing behind-the-scenes images and anecdotes and explaining the process they used to get this goliath on the screen. Events like this are a testament to the organisation that is the Australian Cinematographers Society and how its members are prepared to generously share their experiences with other DP's, Camera Operators, AC's, DITs and Techs. John is a passionate cinematographer renowned for giving freely of his knowledge. Attendees are invited to engage in the conversation and ask questions during this small-sized, exclusive event.
