FREAK FILM COMES BACK TO THE BUSH - OUTLANDS ECOPLEX CINEMA
There will be a Giant Outdoor Cinema at the Sweet sixteenth Meredith, in a magical grove of manna gums, with the natural canopy high overhead just sparse enough for the twinkling stars to shine through. Whats showing? That would be stuff that turned left at the lights, planted the foot and ripped the rear view mirror off, and then ate it. Just like last year.
It's called the Outlands Ecoplex Cinema, and will be at the edge of Bush Camping, in the area known as ÔAfrica'. It will consist of a giant 6m x 6m screen purpose built between two ancient eucalypts, a six-speaker Super-Sonorama surround audio experience (which when coupled with Ultravision 3D effects and glasses will REALLY put you in the picture), and the action will be projected by vintage 16mm gear out of a 1978 Jayco SuperTourer Caravan (with annex).
HERES HOW THE LUMPEN INTELLIGENTSIA POSSE DESCRIBE IT
Peel yr peepers for the finest, freakiest cinema of these and other dimensions! The Lumpen Intelligentsia posse hauls its caravan of subterranean dreams to the Outlands Ecoplex Cinema at the 2006 Meredith Music Festival... Unspooling from lobe-enhancing 16mm film, this misremembered riot of wayback japery celebrates conceptual extremity on celluloid: the maverick margins of creative animation, and an indigenous insania of lysergic lensing!
Unique within Australia, the Outlands Ecoplex is an arcadian cinema experience in harmonious celebration of native greenery. A star-drenched firmament above, and Ms Nature provides the perfect tree-lined venue...
In addition to their regular 'iSOSceles' program of screenings around Melbourne,
the Lumpen Intelligentsia Film Society have hosted the Melbourne screenings of
Jaimie Leonarder's (The Movie Show, SBS) Mu-Meson Archives, coordinated an Australian
tour by US cartoonist/musician/animator Dame Darcy, and provided local audiences
their introduction to the work of French surrealist natural history filmmaker
Jean Painleve. Reglar visitors to the Meredith Music Festival, in 2004 they pioneered
the sympathetic gumnut ambience of the Outlands Ecoplex Cinema!
IN OPTICALLY ENHANCED ULTRAVISION!!!
Only ULTRAVISION with SUPER-SONORAMA provides you that Òyou-are-in-the-middle-of-it-allÓ effect... Accept no substitutes! (not available in indoor hardtop -type cinemas - exclusive to the Outlands Ecoplex...)
