Its BYO drinks and refreshments and a cash donation for our hosts, SAWTOOTH GALLERY! Get your FREE tickets so I know how many seats to set out. A sumptuous, moody spookfest, Next of Kin is a true diamond in the rough. Born of that no-holds-barred period of the Australian New Wave filmmaking of the 70s and 80s known as Ozploitation, where cheap shocks, violence and vulgarity were the order of the day, Next of Kin is something else entirely. It is a gorgeous gothic mystery with trappings of psychological horror that truly deserves its oft-received comparisons to The Shining. Set in a Victorian manor house, Next of Kin tells of Linda, a teacher who inherits her family’s estate that has been turned into a care home for the elderly. Linda returns to take over the business and starts to suspect that, admit the shuffling residents of her spooky gothic mansion, that someone… or something… haunts the halls. Next of Kin is big on atmosphere and drips with many of the hallmarks of Gothic Horror – buried secrets, familiar madness and sudden, shocking violence, this film also boasts luxurious cinematography and a dreamy score from electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream. As you can tell I am quite the fan - but will you agree when we decide if this movie is Rad, Bad or Mad? At Sawtooth Gallery Saturday 11th of April.

Join us in the Launceston Planetarium for our new show Dark Side of Light. Light pollution. Have you ever heard of this term? How can something as essential as light even be associated with pollution? And yet there it is. For several centuries, we have become accustomed to lighting up artificial light sources after dark, considering them natural. But it’s not. Living organisms, both plants and animals, have adapted to the natural cycle of day and night for tens of millions of years. Our biorhythms work in accordance with sunrise and sunset. The artificial disruption of this cycle has serious consequences, not only for our health but also for the environment and the economy. So why is the increasing level of artificial lighting dangerous for us? Dark Side of Light, Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.
