A Quick History of the Movies

A QUICK HISTORY OF THE MOVIES with Barry Patterson Wednesday 30th November 7.30pm

A Quick History of the Movies * film at Tap

a quick history of the movies

It’s hard to imagine a city the size of Sydney without a Cinematheque. Vast numbers of movies that viewers in other centers take for granted never surface here. This isolation shows up in a whole lot of different ways.

Well, movies are back at the Tap Gallery in Surry Hills.

“Bronco Billy” Anderson shares the screen with European art movies, Hollywood nostalgia and the Kung Fu spectaculars. From flickering shop-front to picture places and complexes, through the arrival of sound, colour and big screens, filmmaker and life-long enthusiast Barrie Patterson who has mounted programs for the London National Film Theatre and Paris Cinémathèque is doing a one-off event which traces film making from the first days to the present. considers the way film & TV have become central to experience.

New comers will get an insight into the problems of handling and watching material in a way that does justice to the intention of the original makers. The program will use genuine celluloid film, some of it a hundred years old, in illustration and comparisons.

Here’s a unique chance to rub shoulders with people who take their movies seriously and a few who know that they can be one of the most fun ways to spend their time.

You wouldn’t want to miss that!

This one-off presentation may challenge your view of our most popular form of entertainment.
Don’t miss it!
Don’t even be late!
