HECTIC PEELERS FILM CLUB
 MONDAY 7 JULY, Roxy Bar and Screen, 7:30pm, FREE: Jan Nemec's banned 1966 classic, The Party and the Guests (courtesy of Second Run DVD), a film that resembles a form of al fresco theatre, that is also partially a satire of Antonin Novotny's Czechoslovakia and possibly a critique of cinematic conventions. Jan Nemec has a reputation as a maverick, and this movie does very little to contradict that notion.
PHILIP WINTER'S LUCKY DIP
TUESDAY 8 JUNE, The Miller of Mansfield, 8:00pm, FREE: Philip Winter is a regular contributor to Electric Sheep, his Lucky Dip is an oblique hotch-potch of formal experimentation, amateur tripe, non sequiturs and banalities plucked at random.
