Dr Baz’s Sci-Fi Movie Night
ENTOMBED -30-minute sci-fi thriller.Winner of Best Experimental Film at the 2024 New York Arthouse Film Festival.
This special Fun Friday screening promises a dynamic blend of cinematic tension, philosophical inquiry, and immersive sound and vision.
Writer Des Collins and Director Barry Ferrier have created a gripping story of hope in the struggle against adversity, the renewing cycles of life, and humanity pulling together in the face of existential crisis.
Ferrier describes the film as the culmination of a lifelong artistic journey, he says: “Story is everything in film… Many people are making novel imagery with AI but to sustain narrative and engage an audience still comes down to having a good story to tell.. and Des Collins has written a great story”
ENTOMBED showcases new possibilities of AI-assisted storytelling — not as a replacement for traditional cinema, but as an exciting new artistic category.
The evening will also feature:
• PROJECT SENTINEL – a striking short film exploring the existential risks of AI superintelligence
• A curated selection of award-winning sci-fi themed music video.
Tickets available at the door $10 (includes raffle tickets)

FILM CLUB - The Conformist
THE CONFORMIST (1970)
Bernardo Bertolucci’s elegant, chilling, expressionist, socio-political noir about the psychology of fascism unfolds through a complex flashback structure, as Marcello, a young employee of the fascist government in 1938, is tasked to assassinate his former acquaintance and notoriously outspoken anti-fascist professor.
Marcello is a metaphor for Italy as a whole during these tumultuous times under Il Duce, in constant conflict of how to behave, whether sexually, religiously or politically. Bertolucci portrays these themes with constant symbolism and metaphor in each character and situation; much like Pier Paolo Pasolini, with whom he began his career as an assistant director.
Richly designed by Ferdinando Scarfiotti to reflect the fashions and imposing architecture of the Mussolini era, the film is stunningly shot by Vittorio Storaro, whose gleaming, dynamic cinematography later proved an inspiration to American directors such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola
Enjoy food and drinks from our licensed bar from 6:00PM.
