Newton Gully Screen Society at Wine Cellar 5

The Newton Gully Screen Society invited audiences to spend an evening exploring the cosmos and Afrofuturist mythology of jazz legend Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra. The evening's programme included John Coney's science fiction musical Space is the Place (1974) alongside Phill Niblock's experimental art film The Magic Sun (1966).

For its 2008 Spring season, the Newton Gully Screen Society offered a series of six free film screenings, presented every second Wednesday in the back room of The Wine Cellar, off Karangahape Rd. Organised in collaboration with The Dust Palace, this initiative continued NGSS' mission to bring a range of cinematic experiences to the public, building on the earlier Cinema Obscura events held at Cross St Studios, curated by Sean Monro.
