ABOUT HEAT
1995 | DCP | USA | D: Michael Mann

Hardened cops and robbers lead their teams into battle in ‘90s Los Angeles, while their women try to rein them in.

A brainy cat-and-mouse crime movie about obsession, discipline and competence.

‘As with his other works, [Mann] binds sound, music and pictures into one hypnotic triaxial cable and plugs it right into your brain. He makes this almost-three-hour experience practically glide by.’ – Washington Post

ABOUT THE BURLEY GRIFFIN
The Burley Griffin is a Canberra-based band serving up folk-infused Americana, led by local songwriter and frontman, Evan Buckley. Having spent his childhood waiting for the rapture in a strict fundamentalist cult, Buckley’s songs offer poignant reflections on the loss of faith, marriage, and certainty, balanced by the ecstatic freedom found in embracing life’s unpredictability.

Live, The Burley Griffin cover a sweeping emotional range – gentle introspection swells into searing crescendos and complex harmonies, often culminating in sing-a-longs and hip-shaking frenzies on the dancefloor.
