CHAINED FOR LIFE

CHAINED FOR LIFE
Tuesday 10 December 2019 at 7.30pm

Jess Weixler, Adam Pearson, Stephen Plunkett

Writer-director Schimberg’s bold and multi-layered story uses a film cast and crew – making a fictional hospital-based horror movie – to challenge cinematic portrayals of disfigured people. Sardonic and entertaining, it also features local personality Adam Pearson (Under the Skin), who “provides a dose of down-to-earth charm in a movie that often seems to exist in its own alternative universe” (Variety). Adam joins us for a Q&A after the film.

2019 | Dir Aaron Schimberg | 92min | USA

★★★★ “(The film) is almost every kind of strange, and yet it has an amiable warmth and an inexhaustible reserve of originality that make it compelling as hell” – Leslie Felperin, The Guardian
