The Drive-In Project

Overview

Federation Square will be transformed into a drive-in movie theatre this week... albeit with only one car. Inspired by their successful short film showcase at the Dromana Drive-In back in February, long-running live art collective Aphids are transporting the free event to the centre of the Melbourne CBD. Deckchairs will take the place of actual vehicles, making surreptitious make-out sessions harder to pull off. Then again, given the venue, that might not be such a bad thing.

Aphids will be set up in Fed Square's Yarra Gallery, shooting short films with members of the public. These new works will be unveiled on the big screen on the evening of Friday, November 14. Also on the program is the questionable Aussie cult classic Young Einstein, as well as the Aphids short film Finale, made with over 200 hundred residents of the Mornington Peninsula.
