STARSTRUCK! Maynard presents Starstruck at Sydney Underground Film Festival

I’m beyond excited to reveal we are screening STARSTRUCK in 4K for the Sydney Underground Film Festival this year.

STARSTRUCK from 1982 is one of my favourite Australian films, although it is rarely (if ever) on television and hasn’t been available on DVD for over 20 years.

The Sydney Underground Film Festival is at The Factory in Marrickville. STARSTRUCK will be screened on Saturday, 12 September at 3pm.

I will be awarding lo-fi but unique prizes before the screening for the best outfits, and DJ-ing afterwards in the courtyard bar.

Tickets available now

“Be who you like, like who you be.”

If you came to last year’s Xanadu screening, you know we encourage singing and dancing, so bop along to Starstruck in what will be the most shamelessly colourful cinema celebration in Sydney. Dress up like it’s 1982 or pick a character from the film: Jackie, Angus, Ice Cream Girl or Max Cullen as the dressing gown wearing Reg. Maybe it’s time to break out that tutu you’ve got there.

Tickets are limited, as are the people who really get into this film. There is nothing quite like sharing the enjoyment of a unique film with a cinema full of exuberant like-minded individuals. This will be fun, tutu or no tutu! Probably don’t bring a live cockatoo though, that wouldn’t work out well.

Maynard is excited about screening Starstruck.
