“Unknown Pleasures” is an attempt to throw some light on under-represented films and film-makers but, more than that, an attempt to foster a sense of community.

QUEENSLAND (1976, 52 mins, John Ruane)
Q&A with John Hughes and John Flaus, moderated by Chris Luscri
One of the quintessential, widely acclaimed Australian films of the 1970s, John Ruane’s superb Queensland builds upon the structures and possibilities of the miniature to ultimately craft something more mysterious and radically open-ended. Featuring the indomitable presence of legendary actor John Flaus, Ruane adeptly uncovers the peculiar sense of everyday drudgery and quiet desperation to indelibly capture what the director has called a ‘vanishing breed of Australians’.
