Neon Cinema – Film screening of Dead End Drive-In, 1986

Please be aware that if the event is sold out, there may be an opportunity for walk-ins starting at 6pm to fill any spots left by ticket holders who do not attend.

Join us in celebrating the Neon exhibition in slq Gallery with a curated selection of iconic cult neon centric films screening at State Library each month throughout the exhibition duration.

"Brian Trenchard-Smith’s dystopian film set at a drive-in cinema cum concentration camp was one of Ozploitation’s most compelling productions.

The Ozploitation movement of the 70s and 80s largely comprised fast, trashy and loud movies – unambiguous affairs relegated to the realms of low-brow entertainment. Few attempted (or are remembered for) ambitious intellectual ideas. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith’s 1986 science fiction oddity Dead End Drive-In, one of Ozploitation’s most interesting productions, is a rare exception." (Luke Buckmaster, Film Critic)

Neon exhibition will be open late in slq Gallery for viewing prior to the screening.
