Zero Time - Series 2 Announcement
Films all about time for the next series running July-September
We survived the first three months and are onto the next, feeling pretty comfortable and relaxed in the new venue and there are going to be upgrades as time goes on, thanks to those that have made it so far and hoping if you haven’t an opportunity arises in the coming months. Zero Time is the theme for season 2 and we have three very different films covering different aspects of time travel, time manipulation and cinematic time. The screenings will take place first Sunday of the month upstairs at Creature, 140 Lygon St, Brunswick East.
Only members can access the screenings. We are non-profit and membership fees go directly to paying for screening rights. Signup now.
