Quickflix special movie screening

On Thursday 19 July 2007, Quickflix held its special movies screening with the Perth International Films Festival. This was held at the Luna SX in Fremantle, WA. The movie featured was The Wrath of God , a documentary on a film production set in Iceland where everything goes wrong… as if the Gods were against them.

We had a great turn out where 20 Quickflix members attended the screening. Members were greeted with white, red wine or beer. They each received a Quickflix goodie bag containing an arthouse movie, Quickflix cap, badge, sticker and “Tell a friend” voucher.

It was great to meet our members. They were of all ages (early 20s to late 60s). Feedback on Quickflix was very positive. Some had been with us for over 1 year while others for just 1 month. One member especially enjoyed the range of English TV series we have. Another was fascinated with our mechanism for dispatching.

In all, it was an enjoyable movie with great company. Stay tuned for more events like this!

Italian "Revelations" in Perth July 2007

By Megan Spencer

Recently, while working as Artistic Director for the Perth Revelation International Film Festival (which Quickflix also sponsors), I came across a great new Italian documentary.

Called Pasolini Next To Us ("Pasolini Prossimo Nostro"), it's directed by Guiseppe Bertolucci, brother of famous director Bernardo (Last Tango In Paris). It provides a rare glimpse into the mind of one of Italy's most famous - and infamous - directors: Pier Paolo Pasolini.

White Icy Movies

By Megan Spencer

Living in a country such as Australia, steeped in drought and soaring temperatures, it's no wonder we like to watch films set in snowy climes.

While it does get cold here - hello Canberra! hello Melbourne! hello Mount Kosiousko! - spare a thought for those who wake up each day with their lives literally blanketed in the white icy stuff... Read full article

TV on the streets of your town

By Scott Gooding

Now In my early mid 1970s TV watching days it was like there was a drama being shot on every street corner of my native Melbourne. Channel 7 had Homicide, 9 had Division 4, and what was then Channel 0 had Matlock Police.

A few years later they were gone, but Prisoner was being shot at what was now Channel Ten's Nunawading grounds, and The Sullivans' producers were on the scrounge for every pre-World War II vista still standing.

Isn't it a nation's right to see it environs reflected on their small screens? Think Here are ten Australian dramas to watch to... Read full article

Quicklix At The Movies

Last night we saw the awesome "Transformers" move and we managed to snap a picture of some of the people

responsible for the guerrila marketing campaign that invaded the cinema.

As heard loudly across the cinema:

"Damn, Blair, I forgot to take back my DVDs."

"Don't worry! You're with Quickflix. They don't charge late-fees!"

"AWESOME!"

"Hey, What am I going to watch tomorrow?"

"Why not jump on Quickflix. They have over 25,000 titles to choose from!"

"AWESOME!"
