When: Wednesday February 4. Night begins at 7pm, movie starts at dusk
Where: Pavilion at Bondi Beach
What: Premiere of award-winning new film “Soldiers of Peace” – an uplifting story about the power of community movements
Nothing to do?
How about sitting by the beach watching a film under the stars? What if we add chilled music from Zimbabwe, cold drinks and comfy bean-bag recliners?
Still not sold? Join us at the Bondi Open Air Cinema and you will also see an inspirational new film about peace and meet hundreds of other GetUp members; plus all the proceeds will help GetUp create social change on issues you care about!
Creating change doesn’t always have to be hard work!
The award winning ‘Soldiers of Peace’ is an uplifting story of how, thanks to engaged citizens such as yourself, we are fast approaching ‘the outbreak of peace’. Narrated by Michael Douglas and featuring a host of well-known personalities, the film shows that by working together to combat global problems we can create a world flushed with peace not war.
Let’s take a moment together to draw inspiration from this film about incredible social movements, who like us, are engaging everyday people in creating a better world. Bring friends and family, grab a picnic and head down to Bondi Openair Cinema on Wednesday.
We’ll see you there!
Oliver, for the GetUp Member Engagement Team

GRANTPIRRIE | WINDOW
86 George Street, Redfern
6:00pm
Collaborating as the Mechano Brutalists, Sumugan Sivanesan & James Gulliver Hancock take a rough and ready approach to the plastic arts.
For Troubled Justice (2009) they combine assemblage, illustration and illumination – using milk crates, clip lamps, scrap car parts, abandoned bicycles and other debris, to recall the incidents surrounding the “Redfern Riots” and the death of a local aboriginal teenager, TJ Hickey in February 2004.
The work is part of an ongoing and multifaceted project, in consultation with Ray Jackson of the Indigenous Social Justice Association and TJ’s mother, Gail Hickey.

ALEX VIVIAN
ECSTASY AND DECAY
Ideas of torture/sex, dungeons and dragons and role playing create ideas of opening your mind, freeing your thoughts and become heavily involved in things like fantasy, partying and new ideas of sex. Ecstasy and Decay is a pot of ideas and loss of self control, passion, drugs, presented in the idea of a makeshift cruising area or aftermath of a comic book convention. Any kind of rubbish dump and breeding ground for men, trolls and boys.
Alex Vivian is a Melbourne-based artist.

Rod Cooper (melb) + MMMN
Since 1988, Rod Cooper has transformed traditional instrument designs into new metallic hybrids. Each sound sculpture has a large range of sounds, incorporating percussion, bowing mechanisms resonant springs and acoustic noise. For his performance at Bohemian Grove Rod will be performing on a recently constructed instrument called the Not Made in China. The NMIC incorporates a new system of transducers which micro instruments are built directly onto, forming new sound worlds.
‘mmmn’ presents a new collaboration between two musicians from sydney working in the fields of
improvised & experimental music. this will be their first public performance.
