The Cygnus Mystery

Recent scientific discoveries are leading us to some startling conclusions; none more intriguing than evidence pointing to early man's awareness of sophisticated modern discoveries. Follow author Andrew Collins on a voyage of discovery that leads from the oldest known temple in the world to a prehistoric cave map, to a common belief shared by key ancient cultures. All of which were aware of the star system Cygnus' unique place in the cosmos - and it's significance as the spirit path to heaven. Most surprising is Collins' well reasoned case for ancient awareness of cosmic rays emanating from Cygnus and for their being the spark which ignited evolution - the same spark which continues to alter our DNA right through to the present day.

MegaForce (1982)

When the force was with them, NO-ONE stood a chance! Yes, that was the movie tagline. The peace-loving Republic of Sardun is facing constant incursions from hostile neighbor Gamibia. Unwilling to retaliate and initiate war, high-ranking Sardunian military officials Major Zara and General Byrne-White arrange a rendezvous with MegaForce, a hi-tech and super-secret phantom army of top-shelf fighting men from all over the world. To ask for help in ending Gamibia's attacks, Ace Hunter, leader of MegaForce, is happy to take on the job as he has a past with Gamibian military leader Duke Guerrera, an old military academy friend who turned to evil. And he stole Ace's favorite lighter. Noooo not his lighter! Featuring more shit blowing-up 80's style than you can almost imagine, the movie is a non-stop barrage of crazy-ass action, absurdity, and cringe-worthy dialogue

Out of Season (1975)

Twenty years after their affair has ended, Joe returns to see Ann at her seaside hotel in England. The time of year is out of season, and so is their romance. Whenever the fading embers of their love threaten to flare again, Ann's daughter Joanna is on hand to smother the flames. Bitchy, possessive, insinuating, seductive, Joanna uses all the wiles at her command to skewer the relationship, not only because she too is attracted to Joe, but also because she wants to hurt her mother.

Jim Keith

Jim Keith was one of the most important conspiratorial authors of the 20th century. His death, of course as his life, is surrounded by mystery and questions. After a Burning Man festival accident he went into hospital for knee surgery and stated to a friend that he believed that if they put him under instead of a local he would not make it out. They put him under and he died of a blood clot to the lung. Nothing strange there except that his death certificate after autopsy states cause of death as blunt force trauma. His books Black Helicopters over America, Mind Control World Control, Case book on the Men in Black and The Octopus fueled the rising paranoia of this modern world. Rare footage of Jim in action on panel shows, news grabs and personal interviews. It's hard to believe that Jim wasn't onto something because directly after his death most web sites containing his recent research were either shut down or collapsed.

Early Warning (1981)

A fully dramatic film which gives a glimpse at incredible events that may be happening today- events that have perilous significance when viewed in the light of God's prophetic word. To newspaper reporter Sam Jenson, it's a high adventure, death defying pursuit of a once-in-a-life time news story. His investigations have linked currency devaluation, global computerization, credit card control, laser I.D, imprints and survivalist camps to the One World Foundation whose plans are to control the world. To Jenny Marshall, a member of a Bible study group, studying the end times it means much more.   To you, Early Warning can be an effective film to reinforce our position in history as we move one step closer to God's final judgment.  Don't miss this hard to find classic.

The Evils of Social networking sites

Sites such as My Space to Facebook are fast becoming the most addictive past times of the 21st century, but does this mean people are more connected? The negative aspects of these sites are still only coming to light. Their legal fine print and ownership of your personal information, the contradictory nature of the cyberspace RSVP, the unmentioned law enforcement and intelligence service's use of these sites and our obsession with reporting the mundane routine of our lives has become a great distraction to the creative process and what is really important. The internet has become the ultimate tool of surveillance and we are all paying and playing our way into its hands. Big Brother is no longer watching you because you have become Big Brother.

Without Warning (1980)

An alien has landed and it's killing innocent humans! Why, you ask? If you're looking for a feasible explanation like harvesting humans for food or cleaning off this planet for future alien use, forget it. Here the bad guy is just looking for a fun time hunting humans to add to his burgeoning trophy collection. Aiding in his sport are hairy, fanged little parasitic suction-cup Frisbees he flings at victims that drink their blood. The fun and gooey make-up FX are by Greg Cannon. If the campy, silly plot isn't enough to get you tuned in, keep in mind it costars Jack Palance as a grizzled gas station owner, Cameron Mitchell as a sadistic hunter and an out-of-control Martin Landau as a ranting, raving, insane Vietnam vet! David (NYPD BLUE) Caruso also puts in an early appearance and the alien is played by giant Kevin Peter Hall, who went on to play the monster in the PREDATOR films. Considered by many to be the inspiration for the more popular film "Predator".

Leave her to Heaven (1945)

This genuinely perverse and fascinating film noir, filmed in incredibly rich Technicolor, is the tale of a woman's obsessive desire to possess her husband, exclusive of anyone else in the world. Ellen Berent and her husband, writer Richard Harland, move to his lodge in Maine. In order to be completely alone with him, Ellen makes the handyman go away and stands by as Richard's attention-grabbing, crippled brother drowns in the lake. Pregnant Ellen also purposely miscarries their child. When Ellen's sister Ruth visits, Ellen's paranoia and jealousy catapult her to confess to Richard that she was responsible for the "accidents." Sickened by Ellen's confession, Richard decides to leave her for good. Ellen's next plan of action is quite possibly the ultimate revenge ever carried out by a jilted, crazed lover.

Directors Cut: Jay Katz presents

David Bowie Plastic Soul 1973-77

The first white artist to appear on Soul Train was David Bowie doing Fame from the Young American's album. At the height of his glam career he killed off Ziggy Stardust, moved to America and became a soul singer. Drug fueled, emaciated and a stranger in a strange land Bowie achieved what no one had done before, the most radical reinvention in a pop musician's career. We take a look at rare footage, film clips and interviews. Some highlights include appearances on Dinah Shore with Iggy Pop, his lost work with Ava Cherry and the Astronettes , the drunken Soul Train lip-sync , a duet with Cher and much more.

Sons of Steel (1989)

An intimate sneak preview of what has to be one of Australia's most unknown cult classic. This post punk, apocalyptic sci-fi, musical comedy was so ground breaking in its day that distributors remained totally confused giving it no theatrical release in Australia. 2010 is it's year of rebirth with the Revelation film Festival in Perth finally setting things right with a midnight screening in July. In the mean time for Sydney siders the Archives will be host to the director Gary Keady and one of its stars the iconic rocker Jeff Duff for a preview screening and a Q&A.      

The year 2112 A.D., a group of four post apocalyptic survivors, accidentally fall through a hole in the desert floor to be trapped underground in the dark remains of Sydney's subway system. Wandering through this ominous underworld in search of an exit, they come upon the remains of a museum where they trigger a holographic display of Black Alice that they accidentally materialize. In an effort to discover what has happened to society, Black Alice leads his barbarian friends in search of someone to explain. He discovers the ferry containing members of his peace movement, organized by him to demonstrate against the visiting nuclear submarine, collided with the vessel triggering a nuclear reaction that all but destroyed the world. In a desperate bid to the fate of mankind Black Alice is returned to the 21st century. He arrives at the exact time he had left. He must race against all odds to divert the ferry and avert the tragedy. He has one hour to save mankind.

Christian Perversity

A selection of clips of Christian madness and then the featurette "SOS 20minutes to Go", a package of eight music videos from the Children of God, the notorious, apocalyptic sex-cult. Toe tapers like "Watch out for 666!" and "20 Minutes to Go!" show in hilarious detail what will happen in the "last days." See the anti-Christ put barcodes on everyone's foreheads! See atomic war stock footage! See Christians persecuted by the one-world government! See what happens when delusional paranoids make music videos! And when the videos are not filling empty-headed idiots with apocalyptic visions, they are proudly extolling the virtues of being a hussy for Christ! The Children of God cult is most famous for its practice of "flirty fishing," where the women of the cult were pimped out for the lord. You will note that there is much, much more physical teen affection in these videos than would be expected in any other "Christian" video. All the sweaty make-out sessions are accompanied by unbearable Christian rock that would make even the most virile man limp as a platter of Jello. And when they're not being carnal for Christ, they're providing ludicrous visions of heaven and hell. One video is a hilarious peek into what these losers believe heaven will be like: And hell, for some inexplicable reason, is located "Behind the Green Door." It also has a terrifying lack of scantily clad women and cloud make-out sessions.
