SUMMARY:Te Puna Creative Hub - Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:Te Puna Creative Hub is having an open studio\, where you can learn more about what’s on offer and meet the people already making Te Puna Creative Hub home. \nWith Te Puna Creative Hub opening this month they would love industry input to shape its future direction. \n“At the heart of Te Puna Creative Innovation Quarter\, the hub is based at what used to be Whoa!

Current tenants include Crescendo Trust and Click Studios. \nThe long-term plan is to extend the hub beyond this building\, attracting other creative industry businesses to set up shop in the area in private and/or public partnerships. There are also opportunities for tertiary institutions and trainee programmes. \nSo far\, the project has been financed through Tātaki Auckland Unlimited\, with additional financing from the Auckland Council Māori Outcomes Fund. Click here for more information. \nFunding has been secured for the next five years. Any additional budget allocations will be decided on a year-by-year basis by Council.” \nWhat we think\, and what we ask for\, will help shape the future of both our industry and Te Puna.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy – STRANGER THAN PARADISE
DESCRIPTION:Director Josh Frizzell will present Jim Jarmusch’s 1984 comedy Stranger Than Paradise.  \nStarring John Lurie\, Eszter Balint\, Richard Edson\, Cecillia Stark\nRated PG\n89 minutes \nThe film is an assembly of 67 shots (as opposed to the 1200+ common in a feature)\, all with live sound\, making it possibly the easiest edit in the history of features.  \nWith this breakout film\, Jim Jarmusch established himself as one of the most exciting voices in the burgeoning independent-film scene\, a road-movie poet with an affinity for Americana at its most offbeat. Jarmusch follows rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie)\, his pal Eddie (Richard Edson)\, and his visiting sixteen-year-old cousin\, Eva (Eszter Balint)\, as they drift from New York’s Lower East Side to the snowy expanses of Lake Erie and the drab beaches of Florida\, always managing to make the least of wherever they end up. Structured as a series of master-shot vignettes etched in black and white by cinematographer Tom DiCillo\, STRANGER THAN PARADISE is a nonchalant masterpiece of deadpan comedy and perfectly calibrated minimalism. See less \nCheck out the trailer here\, and Join us on Tuesday 29 April. \nHappy Hour drinks from 7:00 pm.\nScreening 8:15 pm.\n$10 Tickets!
