Event Details

Wake in Fright 1971
 
This thriller starring Donald Pleasance, Chips Rafferty, Jack Thompson, John Meillon and Gary Bond is considered by many to be the greatest Australian film of all time. Spawned from Kenneth Cook’s classic novel of the same name, and is now being “re-imagined for a new generation” with a highly anticipated two-part remake due to be released this year on Channel 10.
 
The film tells the story of a young schoolteacher from Sydney who descends into personal moral degradation after finding himself stranded in a brutal, menacing town in outback Australia
Curated & hosted by Jay Katz & Miss Death
Presented by: Special Guest
 
Australian director and writer, best known known for Red Dog (2011), Kill Me Three Times (2014) and Boxing Day (2007) and now the remake of Wake in Fright. The new Wake in Fright will be taking its lead from the book instead of the film, which Stenders says "has cast a huge shadow over me for a very long time"
