Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.

Due to distanced seating in the theatre\, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated. \nFlorence in the era of the powerhouse Italian statesman\, politician and patron Lorenzo de’ Medici\, was the heart of Renaissance art and culture. One artist\, above all others\, was able to evoke the lights and shadows of this unforgettable era: Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510). Through Botticelli: Florence and the Medici\, we re-live Florence and all its art workshops through Botticelli’s life\, his collaborations\, his challenges and successes. From the outset of Botticelli’s career under the wing of the Medici family\, he established himself as the inventor of an ideal beauty\, seen in works such as The Allegory of Spring and the Birth of Venus. The death of Lorenzo de Medici marked the downward spiral of the Florentine master\, who was destined to be forgotten for over three centuries\, but the rediscovery of Botticelli by the Pre-Raphaelites reignited a genuine fascination with the artist and sparked a Botticelli-mania which continues to this day. \nRuntime: 90 mins approx.

From international number one singles to obscurity and addiction to the simple song of salvation\, follow the inner journey of a singer–songwriter reborn by singing his truth. Colin Hay – Waiting For My Real Life is the inspiring story of Colin Hay\, an acclaimed solo artist and former Men At Work frontman\, and his personal and artistic journey from dizzying heights to staggering lows to finding salvation through song. We follow the surprisingly swift rise to superstardom of his band Men At Work\, to that band’s equally surprising demise\, to his long\, slow climb back to relevance and resonance. Ultimately\, commitment to his craft and the development of a truly one-of-a-kind stage show set Colin on the path that leads to a deeply satisfying solo career – one that is still ascending. With sold-out shows\, critically acclaimed albums and a word-of-mouth reputation for providing one of the finest nights out a music fan could ask for\, Colin finds himself at the top of his abilities and is just getting started. \nColin Hay- Waiting For My Real Life weaves its story around intimate footage from Colin’s successful 2013 world tour. It features interviews with close family and friends as well as celebrity admirers Hugh Jackman\, Mick Fleetwood\, Zach Braff\, Sia Furler and many others reflecting on the impact of this powerhouse singer on their lives and work – giving a glimpse into the heart of one of the most successful songwriters of the 20th century.

It’s more than a chronicle of the hippie movement\, however; this is a film of genuine historical and social importance\, capturing the spirit of America in transition\, when the Vietnam War was at its peak and antiwar protest was fully expressed through the liberating music of the time. With a brilliant crew at his disposal (including a young editor named Martin Scorsese)\, director Michael Wadleigh worked with over 300 hours of footage to create his original 225-minute director’s cut\, which was cut by 40 minutes for the film’s release in 1970. \nThe film deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Documentary\, and it’s still a stunning achievement. Abundant footage taken among the massive crowd (“half a million strong”) expresses the human heart of the event\, from skinny-dipping hippies to accidental overdoses\, to unpredictable weather\, midconcert childbirth\, and the thoughtful (or just plain rambling) reflections of the festive participants. Then\, of course\, there is the music–a nonstop parade of rock & roll from the greatest performers of the period\, including Crosby\, Stills\, and Nash\, Canned Heat\, The Who\, Richie Havens\, Joan Baez\, Ten Years After\, Sly & The Family Stone\, Santana\, and many more. Watching this ambitious film\, as the saying goes\, is the next best thing to being there–it’s a time-travel journey to that once-in-a-lifetime event.
