THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY
It’s time to indulge in some local cinema. And where better to do so than in the Northbridge Piazza, where a giant screen now resides and streams all manner of locally made motion pictures to the masses. Three locals will hit The Piazza this Easter. First off is Making Love by Serge Sharrinovsky, which follows an aspiring Bollywood producer. Second is The Joe Manifesto, directed by Gregory Pakis while the third film is the one everyone has been talking about. I Am Bish is the Perth made zombie movie featuring over 300 zombies and made for only $10,000. Surely you’ve heard of it? No? Then watch when all three screen on Saturday April 3, 2010 from 6pm.

FASCINATING FASCINATORS
Hats. Everybody loves hats. But nobody loves hats more than the vacuous women who occupy Acts of Undressing, a new play being staged at Yirra Yaakin Theatre. Acts of Undressing features three loveless milliners who create empty, aimless accessories to reflect the sad state of their love lives. And beds. But from these dull acts of creation stem obsessions in the form of a man who lives in the lighthouse. Playwright Ian Sinclair (The Bearskinner) returns with another unique tale again accompanied by live music. Acts of Undressing features Brendan Ewing, Fran Middleton, Gita Bezard and Alissa Calessens. It’s on from April 20 until May 1 at Yirra Yaakin Theatre.

COMING & GOING
Karen Djordjevic has an extraordinary eye. Well, actually, she has two. But it’s her sense of composition which makes her photographs so extraordinary. In her latest exhibition, The Going Away and the Coming Back, she uses a 35mm SLR camera to capture black and white images of some of the world’s most beautiful locations. The results are often breathtaking and capture instances of human life in ways you wouldn’t normally see. Djordjevic’s work is on display at Brave New World Clothing in Northbridge until April 20. Well worth a look.
