LIMITED SCREENINGS
Thursday, 29 Jan at 7pm
Wednesday, 4 Feb at 6:30pm
Directed by Lorin Clarke
An intimate tribute to the life and work of one of Australia & New Zealand’s greatest satirists, John Clarke, told through the eyes of his daughter Lorin.
In public, Clarke was famously guarded about his life, but at home he was an open book.
Through a remarkable series of recorded conversations, we trace his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood; unpack his controversial decision to leave New Zealand for Australia in 1977; and gain delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry. Weaving together personal anecdotes, a rich television archive, tales from international comedy greats and the riches from more than 200 boxes of his work and letters, this film is a daughter gifting her father back to his audience.
Featuring: Sam Neill, Wendy Harmer, David Wenham, Bryan Dawe, Jana Wendt

The Source Family
FAR OUT! Presents:
THE SOURCE FAMILY - One Night Only!
Tuesday 27 Jan
Bar open at 5:30pm
Show at 6:30 pm
$15 CASH ONLY
A 2012 documentary on the story of The Source Family, a freaked out hippie cult formed in the late 1960’s by Father Yod (not his given name at birth lol).
Father Yod became the patriarch of a commune of young people, who considered him their spiritual father. The group, known as “The Source Family”, lived together in a Hollywood Hills mansion and was supported by the earnings of one of California’s first health food restaurants, which grossed $10,000 a day during its peak popularity. (in 1960’s dollars).
The Source Family provides a view of the group through the cults own archival collection that is still maintained to this day, including extensive photos, home movies, audio recordings as well as contemporary interviews with members of the family. Serving as a highly personal, insider's guide to the counter-culture movement of the early 70s, the film is inspired by the cult-classic book “The Source: The Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa”. Directed by Jodi Wille.

Pike River
STARTING 8 JAN
Directed by Rob Sarkies
Emmy-nominee Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets) and Robyn Malcolm (After the Party) star in this Aotearoa feature from director Robert Sarkies (Out of the Blue). Based on the Pike River tragedy of 2010, this drama captures the profound impact of one of the worst mining disasters in New Zealand's history by telling the true story of Anna Osborne (Lynskey) and Sonya Rockhouse (Malcolm) – two women who lost their loved ones in the disaster and became leading voices in the families’ long fight for truth and accountability.
This is a film about the powerless vs. the powerful, of people vs. money, of right vs. wrong. An inspiring true story of an incredible female friendship and together what is possible when you simply won’t give up.
