Movie lovers, prepare to lose your shit. Acclaimed writer-director Quentin Tarantino is indeed visiting Australia in January to promote his latest film, the star-studded, blood-soaked western The Hateful Eight. The film is currently slated to debut in select cinemas in 70mm on January 14, followed by a wide release on January 21. But before you see the new film, why not take a little trip into Tarantino's favourite Australian 'Western-ish' films, introduced by the man himself?

The newly established People's Republic of Movies (P.R.O.M) will be presenting an exclusive one-night-only double bill of Australian cinema plus a live Q&A hosted by Tarantino himself on January 15 at The Star. Curated and personally MCed by Tarantino, the evening pays homage to Australian cinema by showcasing two of the filmmaker's favourite Australian Western flicks and treating the audience to a live Q&A.

Two gems of Australian cinema will be played back-to-back on 35mm courtesy of the National Film and Sound Archive, and they're two of the filmmaker’s favourites: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) and the wild Dennis Hopper outlaw classic, Mad Dog Morgan (1976). Then, Tarantino will join multi-award winning director Fred Schepisi (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Six Degrees of Separation) and globally acclaimed writer Thomas Keneally (Schindler’s List) on stage for a Q&A.

Quentin Tarantino's exclusive one-night-only double bill and Q&A is happening at The Star, Sydney on January 15, Thanks to the People's Republic of Movies (P.R.O.M), we have five double passes to give away. For your chance to win, just subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter and email us at [email protected] with your name and address.
