nowhere: film club

nowhere (adverb, UK): not in or to any place; not anywhere. 

Nowhere Film Club is a space for films that don't belong. As a monthly screening series, NFC seeks to share overlooked and underseen films which highlight the joy, majesty, tragedy and romance of human life. We encourage robust engagement with cinema as an art form and resist elitism and obfuscation. Film is about enjoyment and love, so come along, bring your friends and open your hearts. Everybody knows this is nowhere, but nobody knows what you might find.

Come down from 7:00, 7:30 pre-show/film starts

$5 for library card-holders, $10 for guests. registration and tickets here.

Sept 18: Join us for a screening of His Motorbike, Her Island. From 'House' Director Nobuhiko Obayashi!

Runtime: 90 mins

Obayashi's overlooked masterwork His Motorbike, Her Island (1986). Despite the cultural ubiquity of Obayashi's 1977 horror-comedy classic House, almost all of the director's other work remains mired in obscurity. His Motorbike is a stunning testament to love, as visually inventive as it is swooningly romantic. A robust exploration of gender, freedom and desire, His Motorbike follows the romance between Ko, a motorbike enthusiast, and Miyo, the woman he teaches to ride whose inevitable crash Ko cannot help but imagine. The ensuing film is among Obayashi's most revered and most moving works.

Come down early to grab a great spot, and stay after the film to chat film.
