Fitzroy Outdoor Cinema - Vox Pop

Thu, 15/04/2010 - 08:25 — Yarra Reporter

 

Filmed and produced by Michael Hackett, Rachael Akibib and Shirley Danford.

yarraReporters took to the streets of Fitzroy asking people about their favourite movies and what they think should be screened at the inaugural Fitzroy Outdoor Cinema, which happened on the 20th March on the oval at Atherton Gardens.

Some suggestions have included Indigenous films such as Bran Nue Dae and Samson and Delilah, Pixar's Up, a Will Smith film,Slumdog Millionaire and even David Lynch's Blue Velvet.

Due to the fact that organisers would like to appeal to a wider range of demographics, so that children can watch along with their parents, selection of the right film is crucial.

Fitzroy Open Cinema aimed to bring in people who live in Fitzroy onto the estate with the intention of bridging that divide that is underlying. Films featured on the night included Thriller, Michael Jackson, the yR vox pop and Bend it like Beckham.
