Monday 23 January, 3.37pm. It’s Chinese New Year, which means 4A’s annual street screening is on again. On Friday 3 February, Cinema Alley will show Double Vision, a two screen lineup of video works from Australia and Asia. And the bar is run by Grasshopper, which is a very good thing. The screening is free, but bookings are a must, and they’re going fast. Head to 4a.com.au to reserve your spot.
Monday January 23, 1.53pm. Odd Future will popping up their, *ahem*, Sweat Shop this week. Opens tomorrow, Tues Jan 24, basement of 80 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst.

They hung out a lot at Supply round the corner last time they were here:
Tuesday January 17, 3.43pm. Calling artists, designers and makers of things! Alex De Bonis and Louise Helliwell (of Tough Titties fame) invite submissions for well-designed local products to sell in their pop-up, The Dollar Shop, set to launch at 58 Oxford Street in late February.
Items might include (but are not limited to) clothing, jewellery, bags, stationery, self-publishing, photography, posters, instruments, kitchenware and craft. All items sold will be under $20, with a small commission going to The Dollar Shop, so your item must be able to make a profit/break even within this price point! They are also seeking interns/volunteers to help run the shop. For more info hit www.dollarshopsydney.com.au or email info@dollarshopsydney.com.au, or to submit, email submit@dollarshopsydney.com.au
Thursday 5 January, 7.21pm. “Who likes short shorts?” asked the Royal Teens in 1957. “Many people likes ‘em,” answered Flickerfest in 1991, putting on their first screening at Balmain High School. They were right because since then it has grown into Australia’s biggest (and only) competitive international short film festival, and the 21st birthday edition runs for ten days, starting with a party this Friday 6 January at Bondi Pavilion.
If you can handle five ‘Best of Australian’ programs, five ‘Best of International’ programs (including STEVE, pictured below), two ‘Best of Documentary’ programs, a ‘Best of Oscars Shorts’ screening, a ‘Flickerfest Kids’ screening, a ‘Short Laughs Comedy’ screening, a ‘Short Bites of Horror’ screening, a ‘World of Wacky Animation’ screening, plus two programs of ‘Green Flicks Environmental Shorts’ and the ‘FlickerUp School Shorts Final’ then get a season pass for $125/$140 +BF from here.
Or check the program then do a pick and mix of individual session passes for $13.30/$15 +BF online here or from the Flickerfest Box Office at Bondi Pavilion one hour before each session. Also, thanks to Flickerfest, we have 5 x double passes to give away, redeemable for the 4.30pm session either on Sat Jan 14 or Sun Jan 15. To enter, email sydney.win@thethousands.com.au with the subject ‘we like short shorts’.
