Cinema Alley

Halfway through summer, Sydney’s outdoor movie scene is in full swing, showcasing all your favourite blockbuster films at a number of locations. If, however, you think that’s just one too many showings of Harry Potter to handle and you’re looking for something a little different, take a look at Chinatown’s pop-up cinema.

Sydney Architecture Festival

Sadly, for many of us, the hustle and bustle of Sydney life means we rarely step back and smell the roses. Sadder still are the lack of roses within our concrete jungle. But spend a while getting to know the concrete, learning of the beautiful Romanesque revival and masonic Victorian free-Gothic buildings, with their colonnades, balustrades and cupolas, and perhaps the city will transform from a jungle into a garden. This Festival of steel and stone will open our eyes to all that is beautiful and hidden in Sydney next month and even the most hardcore functionalist-home dweller will find it hard to ignore.

Buried

The question you will ask yourself going into this film is "can I watch a man in a box for 90 minutes?". But with the magical synergy of director, actor and camera that occurs between the confines of those wooden walls, my answer is, you wont be able to look away.

PARK(ing) Day

What if you paid for the parking space within the city walls - renting, as it were, a tiny patch of land - and then invited some friends to bring lemonade and a frisbee, a tiny dog and a picnic basket?

Pop Up Alphabet Co-Op

If Willy Wonka were a typographer, this would be his chocolate factory. His waterfall would not be made of chocolate but of ampersands, his cups would be full of T’s, not tea, and the oompa loompas would be handcrafting tildas, umlauts and interrobangs. Naturally, he would do all his shopping at the Pop Up Alphabet […]

Intersection

Surry Hills is a familiar terrain to many of us: late at night, wandering home in search of that soft, warm pillow. Yet to an unlucky few these lonely streets are their home, and they wander in circles with nowhere else to go. Imagine, if you just stopped for a moment, the people you would meet […]

Woyzeck

This play has human suffering at its centre but is far from doom and gloom. Surrounding all this melancholy is a bold and dynamic take on Buchner's still relevant work, dealing with working class poverty, human suffering and our animal nature.

Ask the right questions, try before you buy and don't come on too strong. Spend the day browsing the exotic Latin quarter, the 'Oasis' of Turkish delights, Continental Europe's smooth aromas, the Orient of spicy Indonesia and then end up with a nice brew-next-door from down under. There are also teas, hot chocolate and cakes of all shapes and sizes so nobody goes home empty handed.

Little Red

Little Red remind us of a sweeter era - bopping to doo-wop, taking your gal to the milk bar, filling your cola with ice and kissing like it's 1965. Their pop, like the soda, is sparkling, sweet and utterly addictive.

Eels

The reclusive E is sneaking back to our shores, bringing with him a new album and a new style. A bit more autobiographical than previous albums, [i] End Times [/i] gets back to basics and returns to good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.
