MYSTERY EVENT: UNSCRIPTED! ON SATURDAY 24 OCTOBER
...............................................................

You may have noticed a mystery event spot on this semester’s programme and we’re now thrilled to announce what will be taking place on this night...

On Saturday 24 October, we’ll be presenting for the first time UNSCRIPTED! – a special event that brings together cinema and live comedy for a uniquely hilarious experience. We’ll be screening a mystery movie with a twist: the dialogue track has been ‘lost’ and we’ve recruited Canberra’s best improvisers to save the day by creating all-new dialogue for the movie... live and on the spot!

Will the mystery movie be old and cringeworthingly bad? Absolutely! Will the improvisers be up to the challenge to improve upon it? We sure hope so!

Who knows. Either way, it’ll be a night on which anything can (and probably will) happen. So join us on October 24 for UNSCRIPTED! – improvised live cinema and a movie night unlike any other. Featuring the vocal talents of Canberra improvisers Ben Crowley, Brad Hoff and Katherine Green.

DATE: Saturday 24 October
TIME: 7 PM start
VENUE: Coombs Theatre

Entry is FREE for all current ANU Film Group members. Find out more at the Facebook event page HERE.
