Encounters With The Obscure invites you to its next screening on Thursday 18th July, 8:30pm at the Lumiere on Chatsworth Road.
This week we will be showing Australian director Don Levy's 'Herostratus' (1967). The title comes from the name of the Ancient Greek man Herostratus who sought to immortalise his name by setting fire to the temple of Artemis in Ephesus.
In the film a young poet called Max hires a marketing company to turn his suicide into a media spectacle. He finds that his subversive gesture and his motivations are revealed as a desperate attempt to seek attention through celebrity.
We look forward to seeing you...

Encounters With The Obscure is screening its next film on Thursday 27th June, 8:30pm.
Slava Tsukerman's 1983 'Liquid Sky', which we screened at the Meadows in the Mountains Festival is a journey into the world of 80s heroin addicts, models and performance artists in New York's Eastern Village. A small UFO lands on a penthouse which is inhabited by the model Margaret. They are on search for heroin and soon discover that the sensation of heroin is equivalent to that of having an orgasm. As a result, they start to suck out the human pheromones found in the brains of Margaret's lovers, who one by one start disappearing.
We look forward to seeing you...
