Since its self-distribution to little fanfare, this fiercely independent cult classic – following four women friends on an odyssey of heady excess through a realistically depicted inner-city Sydney on their final night together before one of them leaves for New York – has been too rarely screened.
Celebrated by critics such as John Flaus, Meaghan Morris and Adrian Martin, the latter calling it “one of the finest and most memorable films made in Australia”, Keenan’s film gained further distinction by featuring early-career performances from local bands including Pel Mel and Dynamic Hepnotics. With Tracy Mann, Julie Barry, David Argue and Esben Storm.
4K restoration to be introduced by the film’s director and producer, Haydn Keenan.
