Eye of the Phoenix: Secrets of the Dollar Bill                                                

With the crashing economy, the big question is: what is the future of American currency? "Eye of the Phoenix" documents the bizarre history of the design of the dollar bill, exposing the occult activity surrounding the FDR administration.  There is perhaps no other period in U.S. history when so many people were so deeply involved in the occult, and held positions of power that reached all the way to the White House.  Phoenix focuses specifically on the years prior to World War II leading up to 1935, when the Great Seal was taken out of obscurity and placed on the foundation of America's currency.  According to official records from the State Department, FDR and his Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, specifically chose to use the Great Seal because, as Freemasons, they believed the "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (which they equated with the New Deal) could only be fulfilled under "the eye" of the Great Architect of the Universe (the god of Masonry).

So the biosphere's System Operator exiles Judy to the mutant-ridden outside world. Once there, she is kidnapped by deformed cannibals who want her to breed with their evil leader. She is rescued from cannibalistic creatures known as "crawlers" by Stover (Bruce Campbell).   Stover shows Judy just how shitty the outside world is and together they try to overthrow the evil ruler.

Eye of the Devil (1966)

Vineyard owner marquis Philippe de Montfaucon is called back to his castle Bellenac because of another dry season. He asks his wife and children to remain in London, but they still come after him. His wife Catherine de Montfaucon soon discovers that her husband is acting mysteriously and that his employees are following old pagan rituals that call for the life of the marquis himself to save the crops. Of particular interest to many is one of the few appearances of the stunning Sharon Tate before she fell victim to members of the Manson Family.  Some will consider Eye of the Devil an essential for that reason alone. With David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Sharon Tate, David Hemmings, Edward Mulhare and Donald Pleasance.

Psychopathia Sexualis

This director's cut of the Bret Wood film is a dreamlike depiction of turn-of-the-century sexual deviance, from the pages of Richard von Krafft-Ebing's notorious medical text. As he interweaves fables of sexual repression, vampirism, hypnosis, sado-masochism, and lesbianism, Wood creates a haunted vision of an era when medical science endeavored to label, cure, or eliminate anyone who refused to conform to its idea of sexual "normalcy."

THE LAST DISCO IN NORTH KOREA

Take a trip back in time to post Stalinist North Korea and spend a night in a brilliant recreation of what was (up until a few years ago) - THE LAST DISCO IN NORTH KOREA! We will begin with a rare screening of Kim Jong Il's amazing giant monster movie "Pulgasari" - commissioned by the glorious leader himself using a kidnapped director and lead actress.

 Pulgasari (1985)

A blacksmith who won't make weapons to stop a rebellion is pitched into jail and starved to death. As a legacy to his children he leaves a small metal doll which comes alive when one of the blacksmith's daughters gets a drop of blood on it.
The monster eats metal and begins to grow.
The rebels battle the government with the monster. The monster grows bigger and bigger and even after the rebels win the monster still goes on eating and growing until some way has to be found to destroy the beast....Its a weird twist on the Daimajin films from Japan.

Then as world famous DJ Fat Boy Kim cranks out a tantalizing set of Gulag Au Go Go, and a plethora of propaganda shorts are projected on the big screen, the dance floor will spring to action in a brilliantly choreographed display of colour cards and improvised frugueing. The scene is now set for a tumultuous welcome for KIM LONG DONG - the long lost son of Kim Jong Il and a distant relative of the notorious Fat Fat Ho - entertaining the audience with a compulsory laugh every thirty seconds!

Party late and enjoy a free Korean sausage sizzle - dress to suit and enjoy one of the most remarkable nights you will ever experience this side of Pyongpang.

Sightings: The Best UFO Cases

Before the X- Files the Fonz from Happy Days Henry Winkler produced one of the most cutting edge documentary series on anomalies to come out of the US. Screening in Australia randomly and not in its entirety it is yet to receive a commercial release. The research was ground breaking and covered the length and breadth of the planet. 90% of sightings can possibly be explained away and/or reduced to prosaic terms but it's that 10% that after decades of research prove undoubtedly the phenomena is a reality.  The Archives has specially selected and edited together what we perceive to be some of the best cases investigated on Sightings. Bring your skeptical friends.

Was it a Paper Moon: 

40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing

 A look at both sides of the Conspiracy

The most ludicrous conspiracy theories of them all after four decades of research have become the most perplexing to unravel. In 2008 Richard C Hoagland a former NASA consultant penned the New York Times best seller  Dark Mission- he states that Apollo had landed on the Moon but suppressed evidence of ancient alien activity and structures. On the other hand  authors David Percy, Bill Kasing, Ralph Rene, Jim Collier to name a few all believe it was the greatest hoax perpetrated on mankind.  Author, the late Anton Wilson once stated "the prover proves what the thinker thinks". Tonight we will look at an edited selection from the vast visual archive that now exists to prove the validity of both arguments.  Maybe one small step was really a giant leap of faith.

2019 After the fall of New York (1984)

A nuclear war has extinguished a large part of the world's population and left the surviving women infertile. In fifteen years, no baby has been born. The winning party, a European/Asian/African federation called Eurax have proclaimed themselves the winners, whereas its enemies from the Pan-American Confederacy keep operating secretly from Alaska. Both parties are keen on finding fertile women in order to rescue mankind from its doom. When a fertile woman is spotted in New York, Parsifal, a tough and solitary race-driver and drifter, is sent by the Confederacy in order to recover her. The former American Metropolis, however, has become a post-apocalyptic wasteland reigned by the occupying Eurax and violent gangs, and once one is in there, it is impossible to get out... the similarities to "Escape From New York" are numerous (even the hero looks like Kurt Russell as Snake)and it also rips off other films such as the first two "Mad Max" films, but, as long as one isn't bothered by that, "2019" is a very cool little flick of its own right. As usual for Italian Exploitation rip-offs, this is quite a bit gorier and nastier than "Escape from NY". The post-apocalyptic scenario is done with style especially recommended to fans of Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Action.

Daddy's Gone A-Hunting (1969)

This film is an interesting story of a young ne'er-do-well who lives on the edge (his only productive activity is trying to build a Rube Goldberg arrangement to condition his cat not to eat his bird) who gets dumped by his live-in love who aborts his kid. She goes on to marry Paul Burke, handsome, successful and our kinda guy. Later, the dumped boyfriend strangles the doctor (with his stethoscope, of course) and kidnaps the ex-girlfriend's kid. It goes on from there with a decent thriller ending, showing that you don't mess with mothers.

A Slice of Bollywood

Geeta Mera Naam (1974)
Crime king Johnny has an underground lair that was clearly the inspiration for the Austin Powers films complete with seats for his multinational criminal guests that at the lethal touch of a button empty their human contents into a pool of acid, turning them into perfect wax effigies. Apart from being dangerously schizophrenic, Johnny also displays his dementia by cradling a furry cuddly toy ape that never leaves his side. He is obsessed by his toy ape reminding him as it does of the fateful day that he was separated from his doting mother and siblings at the fair. For relaxation Johnny indulges in sessions of bondage and masochism, employing a leather clad heavy to lash him until he has welts all over his back. This magnificent slice of cheese has a plot as old and stale as the hills but Sadhana directs with such verve and aplomb that she has managed to turn her magnum opus into one of the truly great cult classics of the era. The film was designed as a vehicle for Sadhana's talents by her husband R.K Nayyar who came up with the inspired storyline. To save on costs, Sadhana, whose career as a leading lady had flagged into near obscurity, was given the job as director as well as being the star of the show with a screen hogging double-role purpose built just for her. Miraculously, the totally unpredictable public lapped it up and Geeta Mera Naam went on to become one of the years big money earners providing Sadhana with a fitting end to what had been a very distinguished career in which she featured in some of the finest films of the 60's.

Sunil Dutt delivers a masterly performance as the deranged, psychotic Johnny, swaggering around with his cuddly ape turning his detractors into wax puppets at his mere whim. Feroz Khan lends dash, style and his hairy torso to proceedings also strutting around as though his overly tight pants were not allowing normal movement. Helen looks great and unleashes those facial expressions like only she knew how - scowling, smoldering, alluring. The overly dramatic songs have been composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal on auto-pilot mode and a young aspiring choreographer by the name of Saroj was given one of her early breaks in Bollywood. The same Saroj went on to become Saroj Khan, Sridevi's lucky charm and the top Bollywood choreographer of the MTV's tinged 80's

William Shatner's Mysteries of the Gods

"The Mysteries of the Gods" is a full length documentary portraying the ancient astronaut theories of Swiss-born researcher Erich von Däniken. The film is hosted and narrated by no less than William Shatner himself. Everything from the Peruvian Crystal Skull to the megalith structures in the jungles of Southeast Asia is accepted as evidence for the Ancient Astronaut theory. Cave drawings, old legends, Biblical stories and even some psychic visions of late Jeanne Dixon are understood as stone cold facts. Eric von Däniken's reputation was still quite unspoiled at the time so all the arguments (even the most far-fetched) are shown with a great confidence. William Shatner is-as usual-overacting his part. With all the strange "scientific" people, long shots, enthusiastic Shatner and eerie 70's synthesizer music this amazing documentary was from the day one destined to become a cult classic.

Pray of the Roller Boys

Set in a post depression America with the countries assets sold to foreign investors and millions sleeping rough in makeshift camps. Out of this chaos enters a gang of roller bladed yuppie-attired youths, who by way of selling drugs and charging protection money have hopes of buying back America and making it great again. Their charismatic leader (Christopher Collet) places TV adverts trying to brainwash more members into the gang and as they grow in strength, the authorities appear powerless to stop them. But hold on here comes Corey Haim, who is recruited by the police to don his speed skates and infiltrate the gang. Aided by a scantily clad Patricia Arquette, Corey proceeds to act his way through a succession of outlandish haircuts in order to discover the truth behind the Rollerboys and their "Day of the Rope", on which they threaten to get even with their enemies. It's all extremely good fun with some subtle political satire thrown in for good measure and an ending begging for a sequel - that thankfully never materialised! If the idea of a group of youths with perms in yuppie raincoats skating in synchronisation appeals to you - you'll be in heaven!

The Diana Conspiracy

Today is the 12th Anniversary of Princess Diana's death. We investigate the crash which killed her, her companion, Dodi AlFayed, the driver, Henri Paul, and injured ex-paratrooper Trevor Rees-Jones. Little known information about many of the characters involved in the plot to kill Diana are revealed. The history of the royal family is exposed, Prince Philip's links with the Profumo scandal, Occult Cocktail Parties at the Cliveden Estate in the 1960s, the exorcism of Stephen Ward's cottage, the double murder of two young princes in the Tower of London, the forced euthanasia of King George in 1936 and the crash which killed Princess Diana. Information is put forward which suggests that the crash in Paris was the beginning of a gruesome occult ritual - with the time and place of the crash being chosen carefully to coincide with ancient Satanic Rites. What exactly did the Queen mean when she warned Diana's butler PAUL BURREL, that there were "dark and mysterious forces" at work in Britain? Who were the senior MI6 and MI5 agents in the tunnel on the night of the crash? All these questions - and much more will be examined to form a different picture that has been put to the public.
