Film screening – Eye Candy presents: Wild In The Streets – Drop the Dumbulls Gallery – 7pm
As part of the annual Scalarama festival, and in celebration of the anniversary of the 1968 uprisings across the world, we present a classic counter-culture movie:
When rock star Max Frost is asked by a Senator to appear at a ‘youth rally’ to mobilize younger voters, he demands the voting age be reduced to 14 - the youth respond by rising up, bringing many American cities to a standstill. Rather than choosing candidates to support, Max decides it's time he and his inner circle took control and unveils a bold plan to once and for all do something about people over 30 - including his parents.
