The weekly guide lives. Here’s Melbourne finest for the upcoming se’en days:
FRIDAY
Grey Gardens, ABC Gallery, 8:45pm… The return of Time Capsules!
Focus On the Greek Disapora, ACMI, various… Opens tonight. Notables: Hostage, The Immigrant, and From The Snow.
The American Astronaut, ACMI 10pm… Undiscovered diamond gets rediscovered years later? Isn’t that the very definition of cult?
SATURDAY
Going Down, ACMI, 4pm… Apparently rather bizarre 1983 Australian indie. I have it on record that Bill Mousoulis is going.
SUNDAY
Nocturna, ACMI, 10:30am/1pm… Final screenings of this uber-cute kids-but-not-really animated film.
Modern Times, Astor, 2:30pm… The Chaplin classic is being paired with a guided Astor tour, one before the screening (midday), and another afterwards.
Get Carter w/ Point Blank, Astor, 7:30pm… Awesome double of cold-bloodedness. And that’s the Caine version, too…
