The Null Device

I went to Splodge tonight; they showed a number of films, all connected to either the Sydney or Melbourne Luna Park. Highlights were Fantasies of a Starving Artist, a psychedelic mid-70s piece about an artist named Martin Sharp, and Shirley Thompson Vs. The Aliens, a 1971 B-movie satire about a young widgie (i.e. Australian 1950s rocker chick) who is contacted by aliens, entrusted with a message of world peace, and ultimately committed to a mental institution by the local pinks. I get the feeling that the latter film's creators listened to a lot of David Bowie.
