Special Event/2022/Australia/70min/Directed by Soda Jerk

PERTH PREMIERE

Q&A with Soda Jerk, hosted by RTRFM’s Movie Squad

Last seen at Revelation with their acclaimed Terror Nullius (2018), legendary filmmakers Soda Jerk return with Hello Dankness.

In this masterpiece of plunderphonics / sampling cinema, Australia’s most radical filmmakers explore contemporary US politics and the era of the Trump presidency, all told through their unique collage of pop culture and cinema.

Through the appropriation and reimagining of hundreds of found footage clips Hello Dankness is visually stunning, often very funny and occasionally poignant, as the directors offer their uniquely powerful exploration of recent history that takes the audience through a combination of conspiracies, protests, riots and a pandemic.

An exhilarating movie, a celebration of our media-drenched unconscious, and a sharp political commentary.
