We had so much fun at the World Premiere, we can't wait to bring you this special Q&A presentation. Created and performed by Morgana O'Reilly (The White Lotus) and co-directed with her husband and real-life birth partner, 2025 BAFTA nominee Peter Salmon (After The Party), Stories About My Body blends nudity, heart-swelling honesty and real birth footage into a stand-up comedy special like no other - intimate, fearless and unexpectedly profound. In a tiny theatre in Aotearoa, New Zealand, four teenage stagehands work tirelessly to help Morgana tell the stories that shaped her - from her own teenagehood in 1998, to working foot-fetish parties in New York City, to falling in love and later birthing her babies in a Melbourne living room. By turns vulnerable and riotously funny, she moves from lamenting her chins to marvelling at her cellular functions, using her body as the living template for every tale she tells. COME EARLY! Doors 5:30pm, pre-show 6pm, FEATURE STARTS 6:30pm Sharp! Q&A with Morgana O'Reilly directly afterwards.

David Cronenberg's The Fly is that absolute rarity of the '80s: a film that is at once a pure, personal expression and a superbly successful commercial enterprise. David Cronenberg directs this meditation on obsession and power, creating a pitch perfect mad scientist story. When an experiment goes horrifically wrong, scientist Seth Brundle begins to experience a metamorphosis that threatens to overtake his humanity. Cronenberg handles Brundle's transformation into a giant fly masterfully, utilising creature effects that still make audiences sick to their stomachs thirty something years later. Truly one of the better examples of the modern monster movie. As a remake, The Fly transcends the original, taking it in new directions and exploring its underutilised potential.

A timeless classic. We follow a boy who reads a magical book that tells a story of a young warrior whose task is to stop a dark force called the Nothing from engulfing a mystical world.

Unveiling the true story of The Unarius Academy of Science, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school in Southern California who in the late 1970s became a wildly prolific filmmaking collective under the direction of their outlandish spiritual leader Ruth E. Norman, AKA “Archangel Uriel.” “If I didn’t know Jodi Wille’s film, Welcome Space Brothers, was a documentary, I’d swear it was a WTF, insane, sci-fi tale of weirdness. The story of Ruth is fascinating….” - Film Threat "“As with (Wille’s) previous film The Source Family…she remains steadfastly non-judgemental about the unconventional spiritual utopian communitarianism that is so often dismissed as delusional hippy bullshit. Where corporate stooge David Letterman saw Uriel as one zany kook among an endless stream of “talent,” Wille accepts her as a significant historical figure—a flawed but visionary creative force for good in the world, deserving of our respect." - Artillery COME EARLY!
