As well as showing the 2014 musical documentary drama film "20,000 Days on Earth" co-written and directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, we'll see a number of live clips and more interviews with Nick. 20,000 Days follows Nick through various interactions, and some intriguing interview/conversations... "...a day in the life of Cave, starting with his theatrical awakening in bed and progressing through a therapy session, a recording session, staged family time with the kids, a live concert and scattered personal encounters. Some of these take the form of in-car conversations, Cave prowling the streets in his retro Jag with the likes of Ray Winstone (who starred in the Cave-scripted western The Proposition) and Kylie Minogue (with whom he recorded the murder ballad Where the Wild Roses Grow), the windscreen providing a mobile proscenium arch." - https://www.theguardian.com//20000-days-on-earth-nick-cave More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20,000_Days_on_Earth Official Website: https://www.nickcave.com/

18.01.2022 If you like Robin Williams you'll love this: "Knowing - Robin Williams donned many characters in his lifetime. From sweaty standup riffs to sitcom mayhem as an alien named Mork, or from an Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting to a Disneyfied blue Genie, Robin was constantly pushing his craft. But behind these displays of brilliance was an isolated and truly misunderstood man. In the epic biography Robin, journalist Dave Itzkoff details the fragmentation of one of America’s most beloved comics. In its debut season, Knowing combines interviews with Robin’s family and friends with Itzkoff’s fresh research and poignant insights to paint a true depiction of the man behind the screen." https://omny.fm/shows/knowing

Plus tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cakes. Feel free to BYO anything too. Then: THE MAIN EVENT - LIVE - watch the Transit of MERCURY over the Sun's face from 12:34-18:03 (UTC) which is 10.34pm (11th) to 4.03am, on 12th November (AEST). MERCURY TRANSIT VIEWING: Every now and again the Planet Mercury gets into position between the Earth and the Sun whereby we see it pass directly across the face of the Sun. That can be quiet spectacular, plus rare, as Mercury only does so about 14 times per century. If you have been here a few years you may remember the Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun in 2012 when it appeared as a small, dark spot passing across the Sun's face. It was on 6 June 2012. We had an online hookup in CW to watch it. Roughly 13-14 times each century, Mercury passes directly in front of the Sun, casting a small black silhouette in front of the solar disk for a few hours. The transit will be visible from Africa, the Americas, Europe and French Polynesia, not here. Mercury last transited in May 2016, and its next transit will be in November 2032. Mercury is shrinking and this process crumples the surface, creating lobe-shaped scarps or cliffs some hundreds of klms long and soaring up to a 2 klms high, as well as Mercury's "Great Valley", which at about 1000klms long, 400klm wide and 3klms deep. Its larger than the Grand Canyon. Mercury speeds around the sun every 88 Earth days, traveling through space at nearly 180,000 km/h, faster than any other planet . Its oval-shaped orbit is highly elliptical, taking Mercury as close as 47 million klm and as far as 70 million klm from the Sun. It goes visibly backwards - retrograde - from the Earth three times per year. It's doing so right now until late November AND if you want to just watch online at home go to www.space.com

10.01.2022 Home - documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand Tuesday 17 Sept 2019 Venue: Eagle Spirit Media, Lot 66, Crystal Waters Doors open 6.30pm for 7pm start... Entry $6 suggested donation - teas and coffee provided. Home - a visually stunning and emotionally rich documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand shows how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. Almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth Home shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. The English version was narrated by Glenn Close. Taking over eighteen months to complete the film, director Yann Arthus-Bertrand and a camera man, a camera engineer and a pilot flew in a small helicopter through various regions in over fifty countries. After filming was complete, over 488 hours of footage had to be edited. Home was the first film ever to be simultaneously released in theaters, on television, on DVD and on the Internet in five continents. All proceeds of the "Home" DVD sales go to the GoodPlanet Foundation which was founded by the filmmaker, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, to support ecology and sustainable development. It also organizes its activities through websites. It leads actioncarbone.org, a stock promotion program aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, which includes a service offsetting CO2 emissions. It also manages the site, goodplanet.info, established in 2009, which is an educational website aimed at informing the public about sustainable development. It finances school projects and environment-conservation projects. Yann Arthus-Bertrand (Royal Scottish Geographical Society) is an environmentalist, activist, journalist and photographer. He has also directed films about the impact of humans on the planet. He is especially well known for his book Earth from Above (1999) and his films Home (2009) and Human (2015). It is because of this commitment that Yann Arthus-Bertrand was designated Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme on Earth Day (April 22, 2009).

Empowering and enlightening, A New Story for Humanity, directed by Lorenz Gramann and Mattie Porte, calls upon the skills and dedication of every generation to write a new chapter in the future of humankind. Calling upon the wisdom of both ancient and modern cultural thinking, the lessons are clear, aspirational and relevant to every member of the global community. The calls to action are easily adaptable and achievable for all of us. Viewers will be left feeling that they possess the potential and the tools they need to change the world. In Nature’s economy, the currency is life! And all life is sacred. Imagine the transition to a world in which Earth’s ecology is revered as sacred and all of Nature’s gifts, including our own, are shared for the personal, social and ecological benefit of all life. "A New Story for Humanity" is inspired by the New Story Summit at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland: a sold-out multicultural, inter-generational inquiry into a new story for humanity, attended by change makers and activists from over 50 countries.

Featuring live event coverage and interviews on the essential topics of our time: from ancient wisdom to current thinking, from leadership to governance, from economy to social justice, from education to initiation, from cosmology to ecology, from community to sustainability. Captured through the lens of both our frailty and our wisdom this inquiry into a new story for humanity recognises our interdependence with the planet and in partnership with all life. What if we had the power to change the story, and with this awareness, change the world? Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6suQkraMp7A https://cwac.com.au/directory/kaleidoscope/
