The story takes place in ninth century Kyoto; the rape of a nobleman’s bride and his possible murder are the subject of four different accounts, three by participants, one by an eye-witness. The short is the 1978 Australian Morris Loves Jack, directed by Sonia Hofmann. See the Wanngardi Film Group’s vintage film night at the Wanngardi Caravan Park on Ilparpa Rd tomorrow from 7.30pm. Bring a chair and refreshments. Ice cream included in the $10 membership contribution. Hammock is ready to rock in Alice Causing Hammock party hard at the Rock Bar during their last show in July Cameron Boon AFTER their whirlwind tour of Alice Springs earlier this year, the boys from Causing Hammock are back for two shows this weekend. Three of the four boys are back in town for a friend’s wedding but they say the reac- tion they had last time they were here has inspired them to play a couple of shows before they go back to Adelaide. Bass player David Drum- mond said the Alice was a second home to the band and they’d love to come back when they finish their debut album. ‘‘We shot through and when we got back to Adelaide we were just like ‘woah’ and we wanted to come back to play again,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve been working hard and this time around the ice has broken — we’ve proven ourselves on the last tour and this time is all just about having a great time.’’ Singer Nathanael Rothwell said that although the band had one member missing, they’d still fill their sound. ‘‘We are our lead guitarist down and we’re going to make it sound as full as we can,’’ he said. Causing Hammock’s set is about 50 per cent cover songs, a percentage that is slowly shrinking under the pressure of the prolific songwriters. ‘‘We’ve written an album which we toured up to Darwin with earlier this year and when we get back down south we’ll start recording,’’ David said. ‘‘October is when we’ll track the album and ideally the release will be in Novem- ber — we’re so passionate about it. It’s going to be called Julune which was June/July when we toured. That period of time was when we really solidified into a solid entity that we could say ‘this is what we are’ and be proud of it.’’ The boys said they’d like to do an album launch in Alice Springs next year, but in the meantime they want to play some east-coast shows, includ- ing a New Year’s show at Smoky Bay. Causing Hammock will be on at Bojangles tonight from 9pm and the Rock Bar tomorrow from 9pm. CircusDust performers will spin their magic Roll up, roll up for ghostly treat A FAIRYTALE cre- ated by the circus- performing youth of Alice Springs will show- case a wide variety of skills to bend the mind and thrill the senses. CircusDust per- formers Maggie Church-Kopp and Eve Reid said the per- formers would work with hoops, acrobatics, aerial tissues, unicycles and much more. ‘‘The show is about two girls who are forced by their wicked god- mother to sit inside and watch TV all day — they’re not even al- lowed to go to school. ‘‘One day, they’re stolen by a creature and taken to the Ghost Circus to perform in the 100-year show. ‘‘When the show is about to start, the Hell Circus come in and try to sabotage the whole show.’’ There are 25 per- formers, ranging in age from six to 18. Ghost Circus is the first show for Eve Reid. ‘‘I’m really excited to perform because I really love doing cir- cus,’’ she said. ‘‘A friend of mine used to do it and I went to training one day with her and thought it was really fun.’’ Ghost Circus will be on at the Centralian College theatre from 4pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children, under-4s free. All funds raised will help the performers get to the Tasmanian Circus Festival later this year. $UDOXHQ&XOWXUDO3UHFLQFW/DUDSLQWD'ULYH$OLFH6SULQJV%R[2I¿FH 0RQ)ULDPSP6DW6XQDPSPZZZDUDOXHQDUWVFHQWUHQWJRYDX ARTHOUSE CINEMA: The Whale (United States) Rated G, 88 minutes (Documentary) An extraordinary true story of contact between species, The Whale is narrated by Ryan Reynolds, and produced by Scarlett Johansson.
