SUMMARY:Slow Evening @ Alternate Root
DESCRIPTION:Slow Evenings Series: Tapas & Craft \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA little indulgent\, a little creative… Join us for an evening of grazing\, sipping\, and making things with your hands.

Each project is just $10\, so you can lean into your artistic era without the commitment. Think low-pressure\, slightly tipsy creativity. No experience required\, perfection actively discouraged. \nCome with friends\, bring a date\, or fly solo and make something anyway. Stay for one drink or settle in for the night. Eat well. Make things. Romanticise your life a little.

SUMMARY:RSL Fundraiser: "Under a Bamboo Sky"
DESCRIPTION:**SPECIAL SCREENING** 1 NIGHT ONLY \nA tale of human connection\, hope and resilience in the face of great tragedy\, Under a Bamboo Sky\, uses new technology to bring to life the unbelievable story of Australian soldiers held prisoner by the Japanese in WWII. \nUsing their own words\, their own voices\, Under a Bamboo Sky weaves the recollections (oral testimony) of more than 60 former POWs together with newly colourised archival material and new location footage to deliver a moving\, intimate and revelatory first-hand account of their experience. \nCaptured during the Japanese offensive and imprisoned in Singapore’s Changi Barracks\, the film follows the three-year journey of these soldiers through four countries: subjected to slave labour building the Thai Burma Railway\, shipwrecked at sea\, and sent down coalmines in Japan on the outskirts of Nagasaki. After bearing witness to some of WWII’s most history-defining events\, they tell of returning home to families\, wives and sweethearts after years away\, and of the price they paid for the trauma they endured. \nShining through the horrors of war is the spirit of these men who\, remarkably\, demonstrate an inspiring human capacity to find beauty in their surroundings and hold onto hope in the worst of circumstances. Under a Bamboo Sky is their story. \nProduced by WildBear Entertainment in recognition of the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII\, financed with the assistance of the ACT Government and Screen Canberra\, The Returned & Services League of Australia and the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ Saluting their Service Commemorative Grants Program. Supported by the Australian War Memorial. \nRating : Mature themes and violence
