Things to do in Perth - SixThousand
SixThousand is a weekly snapshot of Perth's subculture - a Perth guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Perth guide.
The White Ribbon
I once endured a Michael Haneke retrospective at ACMI with double bills by the master-director playing over four weeks. Each and every title gave me a chronic case of the heebie-jeebies. Watching them back-to-back left me punch drunk.
Haneke's Palme d'Or winning The White Ribbon is no different.
Dancing Mountain, Issue One
If you were ever subjected to a slide show back when it involved a mechanical projector and a dark lounge room, then the idea of a whole book of travel photos might not appeal to you. Luckily for everyone, online collaborative photo book Dancing Mountain doesn't involve a boring couple and their boring photos in front of a boring landmark, nor the frightening reality of four walls with nowhere to run.
French Film Festival
Ah the French Film Festival. Automatically there's a high bar right? After all France is considered the birthplace of cinema, not just of stripy shirts and carbs. This year's festival pulls out the big guns as well, including one of the most anticipated biopics of the year: Gainsbourg - all about ol' Mr Fistful of Gitanes himself.
The Besnard Lakes, 'Are The Roaring Night'
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to tell you about music via a flashing computer screen.
I wish I could just play you something at a party. Or make you a mix CD. Some things are better if you find them out by accident, or from a friend. The Besnard Lakes have too much personality for the impersonality of a computer screen.
