BRISBANE POWERHOUSE AND BRISPOP PRESENT THE RESIDENTS EVERY FRI 6PM They’re fresh, they’re free and they’re moving in. Thank God it’s Friday. Kick off the end of the week with the cool sounds of our monthly live music residents. Fridays are about to get a lot more interesting as some of the best Indie-Pop/Alt Country bands around stake their claim on the Turbine Platform. No ‘one night only’ gigs here. Each band will have an entire month to capture the hearts of Brisbane music lovers with a set every week. November Resident: Women in Docs November residents are the lively and humorous folk pop duo Women in Docs.

The Fly 1986 R18+ 35MM, COLOUR, DOLBY DIGITAL, 95 MINUTES, UK / USA, ENGLISH /DIRECTOR: DAVID CRONENBERG Physicist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) experiments with a teleportation device that can transfer and re-assemble molecules.

David Cronenberg's film is part tragic love story and part horror tragedy in which the horrifying bodily mutations lead to a nihilistic end game.
