The KLF: 23 Seconds to Eternity (Australian Theatrical Premiere) | Vivid LIVE Film

The KLF became the biggest selling singles act in the world with a series of subversive international acid house anthems. 23 Seconds to Eternity represents the first time all of their films and music videos, produced and directed by Bill Butt, have been compiled and presented together.

23 Seconds to Eternity includes the remastered film The White Room (1989), an ‘ambient road movie’ following American police car Ford Timelord and Jimmy Cauty (Rockman Rock) and Bill Drummond (King Boy D) on a wild cross-country journey; a newly restored version of The Rites of Mu (1991), a 29-minute feature narrated by Martin Sheen, documenting a summer solstice event organised by The KLF on the Scottish island of Jura in 1991; plus the previously unreleased short Krash (1992), a record of the final and violent destruction of Ford Timelord.

The screening will also bring together the music videos for the hit singles ‘Doctorin’ the Tardis’ (1988) by The Timelords, ‘It’s Grim Up North’ (1991) by The JAMs and the rarely seen Kylie Said to Jason (1989), as well as the Stadium House Trilogy featuring the KLF’s international hits ‘3 A.M. Eternal’, ‘Last Train to Trancentral’ and ‘What Time Is Love?’, plus the single ‘Justified & Ancient’ (1991) featuring lead vocals by “The First Lady of Country” Miss Tammy Wynette.
