Going Down (1982) - 4k Restoration - Cry Baby
Since its self-distribution to little fanfare, this fiercely independent cult classic – following four women friends on an odyssey of heady excess through a realistically depicted inner-city Sydney on their final night together before one of them leaves for New York – has been too rarely screened. Celebrated by critics such as John Flaus, Meaghan Morris and Adrian Martin, the latter calling it <i>“one of the finest and most memorable films made in Australia”</i>, Keenan’s film gained further distinction by featuring early-career performances from local bands including Pel Mel and Dynamic Hepnotics. With Tracy Mann, Julie Barry, David Argue and Esben Storm. <div><br></div><div><i>This film will be preceded by locally made short film, RAGE. (2026, 8mins) </i><div><br></div><div>As Julie and her gang of Sharpies fight their way through their turbulent teenage years, Julie reflects on the unexpected bond between herself and the Italian tailor who crafts her iconic ‘Connie’ cardigan; a symbol that will firmly establish her within the Sharpie subculture and strengthen her sense of identity.</div></div><div><br></div><div>This session is run as a 'CRY BABY' session. During the session the lights remain on and the sound remains lower than our regular screenings.</div>Cult ClassicPT1H45MM2026-06-03Tracy Mann
