Phenomena (1985)

Directed by Dario Argento (Suspiria), Phenomena follows the young Jennifer Corvino (played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly) who is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a killer is on the loose, brutally murdering students. Jennifer is a “gifted” girl with the strange ability to communicate with insects, and Dr. McGregor (Donald Pleasence, John Carpenter’s Halloween, Escape from New York) enlists her to help locate the killer.

Warning: Restricted to 18 years and over for Medium Level Violence, Horror.

Sean Morris

Sean Morris is a Boorloo-born artist and illustrator, who has recently returned to the West after a decade living in Naarm. His personal practice mixes drawing, painting, murals, tapestries and animation. He creates affectionate, humanist studies of niche lifestyles, and utilises fantasy settings to explore interpersonal power dynamics. The aesthetics of his work have long been driven by cinematic influences – in particular, 70s and 80s European and Japanese cult films, which were first burned into his brain as a teenager raised on SBS in the 1990s.

Sean began exhibiting in Australia in 2006 and internationally in 2008. His exhibition history includes solo shows in Melbourne, London, Madrid, Perth and Sydney, duo shows in Los Angeles and New York, and over 60 group exhibitions.

Sean created original artwork and a t-shirt for the screening:
