Play Me
Choose your own atrium cinema adventure.
Overview
Short film, animation and innovative video artwork will all come together at the open-plan Southgate Cinema in July. Presented by Project Quick and Dirty, Play Me highlights the works of some of the country's most talented filmmakers and artists. Best of all, it's absolutely free.
Starting July 8, each Tuesday evening will feature a showcase of narrative shorts. This includes a one-off July 15 retrospective of the films of notable VCA alumni such as Adam Elliot (Harvey Krumpet) and Justin Kurzel (Snowtown). Tuesday night bookings are highly recommended to ensure that you don't miss out on a seat.
Wednesday and Thursday nights, meanwhile, will be dedicated to works of a more experimental nature. The public can either pull up a deckchair or choose to wander through the atrium cinema, capturing glimpses of moving image artwork that might normally be restricted to play in galleries.
