producer/director
RICHARD BARON

Lanfranchi’s co-founder
DAVID HARRIS

and long-term resident
PHEOBE TORZILLO

Lanfranchi’s Memorial Discotheque was Sydney’s favourite artist-run space, situated on the second level of an inner city warehouse. Lanfranchi’s doubled as a residence and unauthorised performance venue for five years, growing from unlikely beginnings to become what director Neil Armfield described as a ‘major strand of our city’s cultural DNA’. The decaying warehouse hosted hundreds of shows and was an accessible starting point for Sydney’s emerging performers, artists and musicians. That is, until property development gets in the way and Lanfranchi’s residents are given 60 days to vacate the building.

'Lanfranchi’s Memorial Discotheque' is a guerrilla-style documentary and the directorial debut from Richard Baron. Produced over 2.5 years, Richard shot, edited and mixed the feature with no funding or assistance from production companies. The documentary is a testament to the creative talent of Sydney’s artists, musicians and performers.
