Jean Paul Gaultier on Film
Now that he's over 50 can Jean Paul Gaultier still hold claim to his 'enfant terrible' title? It's been a few years since we saw him mooning anyone or send a tin can bracelet down a runway.
Perhaps the enfant terrible successor (if it's not Tavi) is in fact doco director and all round fashion geek Loic Prigent.

Description:
The first thing that comes up on Google when you search for Red Hot Shorts is very NSFW. Maybe that's why Gus doesn't update his website very often! There's always going to be 300 butts between you and the relevant screening information anyway. This month Red Hot Shorts features that Wild Beasts video, plus a Thom Yorke-picked Radiohead fan video and a short inspired by Nick Cave's circus freak song 'The Carny'.

Thanks to ACMI we have 2 x dbl passes to give away! To enter, email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject 'DON'T TAKE DRUGS'
Description:
Cult flick Babylon is to the '70s Rasta movement what Quadrophenia is to Mod. And, with its Purple Rain -style underdog-against-the-rich-kids narrative arc, it moves beyond the cultural niche of just another music film while looking incredibly cool. Fiery, violent and political, it is - as William Miller would say - incendiary, as well as instantly quotable.
Event: Film
Stimulus: Gold sounds
Herb and Dorothy
Aged 88 and 75 respectively, Herb and Dorothy Vogel may look like New York hobbits who dote on their cat Archie, but Megumi Sasaki's intimate, funny documentary reveals the all-consuming passion that's made the Vogels among America's most important minimal and conceptual art collectors.
Hearteningly, adorably, the Vogels aren't snobs.

A couple of years back, we presented a screening of The Holy Mountain and an exhibition as part of MIFF. Many experimental film fans were chuffed to see this ‘70s masterpiece of weirdness on the big screen, while others were left wondering if they had inadvertantly slipped into the worst trip of their life and promptly lost their minds.

Focus On Hopper's America
I just can't get over how much Dennis Hopper looks - and sounds - like Owen Wilson. However, Owen doesn't have an ACMI exhibition dedicated to his creative life, nor a tie-in film program. One day, Butterscotch Stallion. One day.
This isn't a retrospective of Hopper's films, but a collection of features, shorts and rarities exploring the turbulent culture in which he thrived.
