Matt Corby @ Brunswick Picture House
2020-11-30 19:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
Award-winning Matt Corby makes his Picture House debut with an exclusive show!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO TICKETHOLDERS
We advise that unfortunately due to State Government border restrictions, Matt Corby’s performance at Brunswick Picture House on Friday 20 November, 2020 has been rescheduled at the same venue to Monday 30 November, 2020 at 7pm. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and if you are unable to attend refunds will be available from point of purchase. Matt is looking forward to a memorable night on Monday, November 30. See you there.
It’s a cliché. The hard second album. The weight of following-up, evolving, justifying. All that angst and self-doubt and second-guessing that chokes the creative spirit. Or not… “I actually think this is the start of me really having fun with music.”
If anyone deserves to break the shackles and enjoy the moment, it’s multi-platinum-selling musician Matt Corby. For a decade, Corby has been pushing his own boundaries, embracing a journey of self-discovery that’s seen him wrestle a few pre-conceptions and stare down his share of demons. Now, with two ARIA Song of the Year awards on the shelf, and a #1 debut album, Telluric, behind him, Corby can genuinely lay claim to some hard-earned perspective.
Corby’s new album, Rainbow Valley, was written and recorded in a period that also saw the birth of his first child. His second full-length release is brimming with a new-found vitality and joy, a fresh energy that finds perfect expression in a kaleidoscopic reimagining of the sound he has honed for the last ten years. From the surreal, dreamlike splendour of first single No Ordinary Life — which was met with worldwide acclaim and high-rotation on triple j – to the soulful majesty of the title track, Rainbow Valley reveals an artist who seems both more aware of what he wants and why he wants it. “When I found out I was going to be a father, it helped me get my head together,” Corby says. “And as part of that, I was able to set aside a lot of weird hang ups I used to have, personally and selfishly, about making music. So, when it came to writing, I found I could be less stubborn, more open minded to going in new musical directions.”
Buoyed by a boatload of inspiration from those creative sessions, earlier this year Corby retired to the idyllic surroundings of Byron Bay’s Music Farm studios to begin work on the album proper. As he had with Telluric, Corby once again enlisted the help of producer Dann Hume (Amy Shark, Client Liason) and engineer Matthew Neighbour (Avalanches, Missy Higgins). Everything else, he took care of himself. “I play and sing every part on the album, again,” he says. “Working like that meant we could really develop ideas quickly — when I want it to feel a certain way, I know five things I can do on six instruments that could potentially create that, and so we just go through them all.”
Recorded in the idyllic surroundings of Byron Bay’s Music Farm studios, the results speak for themselves. Lush, multi-textured and sparked by hints of both old soul and futuristic psychedelia, Rainbow Valley is, in Corby’s words “joyous music”, but it also has the depth and perspective of an artist who understands you can’t just take the good times for granted, you have to earn them. “We definitely tried to be wary of that,” says Corby. “The more joyous you go with anything, the more you need to have all your bases covered, and then the content of what you’re actually talking about becomes very crucial.”

Open Studios - Ballina, Byron & Beyond
2020-11-28 10:00 - 2020-11-29 16:00
Open Studios – Ballina, Byron & Beyond (OS-BBB) is an exciting & inspiring studio arts adventure trail designed to allow the public to discover and experience the diversity of working studios of local artists. Across two weekends, artists of all genres will open their studios to the public, allowing you to see into the private working life of the professional artist.
You will meet the artists and learn what is involved in their creative and production process. Where feasible, artists will offer the public the opportunity to try their hand at a specific process – please note this may not be possible due to Covid-restrictions.
OS-BBB was initiated in 2018 by Paul Button who strongly believes that creativity is essential for a healthy community. Paul wanted to give the public the opportunity to see that anyone can ‘do’ art – you just have to find your preferred medium, and begin! He also wanted to give people the opportunity to have the question ‘how do you do that’ (which is always asked in gallery exhibitions) answered – by witnessing the process of creation at its source, in the artist’s studio.
Assisted by an energetic committee of Maria & John Heaton, Deb McFarlane and Ange Parr, OS-BBB was born and its first two years were a great success. Rosie Kaplan has since joined our organising team and in 2020 we are proud to introduce you to 34 studios across the Ballina, Byron & Beyond region – some new to the trail, others firm favourites from previous years.
Welcome once again to Open Studios – Ballina, Byron and Beyond..

Thelma Plum @ Brunswick Picture House
2020-11-27 19:00 - 2020-11-28 21:00
Select Music presents Thelma Plum with special guest Molly Millington.
Thelma Plum is a 24-year-old Gamilaraay woman, musician and creator. She grew up in Brisbane and spent many of her childhood years on her Grandparents’ farm in Delungra, a small country town in rural New South Wales. She has been making music for her whole life, but hasn’t always been ready to share her story, until now.
Thelma Plum’s debut album Better In Blak is a story about culture, heritage, love, and pain. With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, her debut album captures so deftly what it’s like to be a young Aboriginal woman in Australia. Since releasing her 2014 EP Monsters, Thelma has been through a lot. “On this album I speak about how it feels being an Aboriginal woman in this country. When I was younger I wasn’t ready to share this side of me, but I’ve grown a lot in the past few years and that’s changed,” says Thelma.
Thelma started working on her debut album four years ago. In fact, she had an album of songs ready to go, but she scrapped it entirely and decided to start again. “I’d written all these songs, but they didn’t represent what I’d been through. So, I rewrote the whole thing,” explains Thelma. “The new songs just came to me, because I’d reached a point in my life where I was very ready to write them”.
Listening to Better In Blak, you can tell that this is true. Written and recorded across New York, London and Sydney with her frequent collaborator, producer Alex Burnett (Antony & Cleopatra, Sparkadia), the album is 12 tracks of Thelma at her best; brutally honest, insightful, incisive and with her heart on her sleeve. You can hear it on the album’s title track — a tribute to family and people of colour — or on the album’s anthemic second song Don’t Let A Good Girl Down, where she spins her experiences of hate and bigotry into a hard-hitting pop song.
Don’t miss the incredible Thelma Plum as she makes her Brunswick Picture House debut for two big shows!

Australian Surf Movie Festival Tour 2020 presented by Tim Bonython
2020-11-19 19:00 - 21:30
The Australian Surf Movie Festival Tour 2020 featuring SwellChasers from Swell and Back, a voyage into the best and greatest biggest swells of the past 3 years
5 Short Films – 5 Locations – The best surfers on the planet
For the first time in 3 years, the amaysim Australian Surf Movie Festival will return to venues across Australia, featuring 6 jaw-dropping films that capture the world’s best big wave surfers battling the biggest waves on the planet. Screenings will take place in November and December.
The films feature an array of the world’s best big wave riders, including: Kai Lenny, Rodrigo Koxa, Matahi Drollet, Ross Clarke-Jones, Dan Corbett, Bradley Norris, Henry Davies, Shane Ackerman, Jake Osman and many more.
Renowned surf cinematographer Tim Bonython has spent the last 4 years chasing massive swell events for this year’s festival. It is an adventure that has taken him around the globe.
The footage he has collected records some of the most ground-breaking scenes in recent big wave surfing memory. These include pioneering big wave surfer Kai Lenny riding the futuristic foil surfboard in gigantic surf at Jaws, and fellow big wave rider Rodrigo Koxa breaking the world record for the biggest wave ever ridden.
“To see these big wave gladiators charging down monster waves is just the most exciting thing,” said Tim, who is not only the films’ main cinematographer, but also the founder of the event.
The first film features big wave surfers at Nazaré in Portugal, the second, at Mullaghmore in Ireland; the third, at Teahupo’o in Tahiti; the fourth, at The Right in Western Australia; the fifth, at Cloudbreak in Fiji. Together these five films make up the 14th Edition of the festival.
Right now, Tim’s passion for putting “big waves on the big screen” at the Festival could not be more needed. It offers viewers the chance to forget about the current world crisis and completely immerse themselves in the raw power of the ocean, along with the stories of the surfers brave enough to push the limits of what is possible. COVID-19’s taken the stoke out of a lot this year—the festival promises to bring it back, if only for a night.
All films featured are directed by Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Award-winning cinematographer and multi-award winning surf film producer Tim Bonython, who has over four decades of experience filming and documenting surfing.

BBFF - Byron Bay International Film Festival - Special 2020 Edition
2020-10-23 - 2020-11-01
BBFF 2020
The team behind the 14t h Byron Bay International Film Festival have decided to create a unique hybrid program of events across the Festival’s planned dates. With social distancing regulations limiting social activities and venue capacities, they have reinvented the festival, keeping their eye firmly on the goal of continuing to support and highlight film talent.

Screenings
The Festival will be rolling out the red carpet and presenting a select season of films at
its two Byron venues, Palace Cinemas and Byron Theatre. The Festival team are hoping to increase the number of sessions being shown in the festival program, depending on demand, but the intention is to create ‘A Taste of BBFF’, whetting film lovers’ appetites for a 2021 return and a full program of events.

A highlight of the festival will be the NSW Premiere of Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra – A feature documentary co-written and co-directed by Nel Minchin (Making Muriel, Matilda & Me) and Northern Rivers local Wayne Blair (Cleverman, The Sapphires). Marking Bangarra Dance Theatre’s 30th anniversary, Firestarter tells the story of how three young Aboriginal brothers —Stephen, David and Russell Page – took a dance company in its infancy and turned it into a First Nations cultural powerhouse. Through the eyes of the brothers, Firestarter explores the loss and reclaiming of culture, the burden of intergenerational trauma, and – crucially – the power of the arts as a messenger for social change and healing.
For the full program of films including dramatic features, documentaries and competition nominees, go to: http://www.bbff.com.au

TAKEOVER 2020 presented by Bangalow Theatre Company
2020-09-04 19:00 - 2020-09-12 20:30
This September Bangalow Theatre Company will be presenting an immersive, interactive and creative performance experience for the Byron Region. TakeOver will be a showcase of original performance and dance works that will be staged in multiple spaces around Bangalow. Audiences groups of 12 will be guided from one experience to another, viewing short, sharp and brilliant 12 minute pieces all taking place in our streets.
Imagine watching a 12 minute Contemporary Dance Performance in the Laundromat, then walking to the railway tracks where a cast of actors perform a compelling scene, then walking to a cafe on main street where a short drama takes place, and then arriving at the Deck of restaurant for an intimate musical soundscape performance. In response to the current Covid19 pandemic and isolation that has taken place in all communities, we have reached out to our Bangalow community to hear their personal stories of surviving the last three months in lockdown. Some stories were heart-breaking, some were funny, some were of loneliness and many were of change and hope!
BTC has taken their skill set of creating powerful and moving theatre work, and have written 5 originals shows in response to our communities stories. Audiences will be taken on a Journey, not only through the through the streets of Bangalow to encounter progressive, poignant, profound and comical performance works.. but also on a journey of the narrative that Covid19 has weaved throughout our community. At the heart of this project is a belief that the Arts has the power to reengage and inspire a community, providing them with an Art experience like none before.

Brunswick Picture House presents REUBEN KAYE
2020-07-11 - 2020-07-12
As a little reward for making it through the last few months of isolation, REUBEN KAYE wants you to come and play with him.
After all, who doesn’t need a bit of filth, a lot of camp, and an opportunity to get downright dirty? It’s exactly what we do best here at the Picture House. So what better tonic for these times than to present… the incredible REUBEN KAYE and his new show, REUBEN KAYE COMES OUT TO PLAY!
Yes, the artist described as “the evil love child of Liza Minnelli and Jim Carrey” is back for two VERY SPECIAL shows, and you’ll get a chance to see him up close and personal or streaming in the comfort of your own living room.
In 2018, we unleashed the amazing award-winning cabaret star Reuben Kaye on Bruns audiences and it’s safe to say that it was a mutual love affair. Returning in 2019 for two big sold- out shows, we’re now excited to announce that dear Reuben, the current Lockdown Lady of Leisure, is packing his bags and flying back to the Brunswick Picture House for much-needed light relief in these two exclusive, special shows.
Obscenely intelligent, beautifully filthy, and rib-crackingly funny, cabaret superstar Reuben Kaye is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything they want to be. Having tantalised audiences as the special guest host of the international hit show sensation CLUB SWIZZLE — from the team behind the Brunswick Picture House — the full Reuben Kaye experience is a dazzling explosion of big notes, high camp, lashes and teeth.
2 shows. Duration 75 minutes:
SAT 11 JUL @ 7PM SUN 12 JUL @ 5PM

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL:
seated live inside the Picture House where you’ll relish the full Reuben Kaye experience front and centre. $60.00 (plus booking fee)

— LIMITED CAPACITY

FROM YOUR COUCH:
from the comfort of your own living room, you don’t even need to get out of your PJ’s and Uggs. Please note that streaming tickets are only available for the SAT 11 JUL show but your ticket will allow you to stream the show for one week, to 18 July. $15.00 (plus booking fee)
