Campaign Brief 224.pngOn Thursday May 31st, Curious Film takes its Pop Up Cinema Rockabilly Rumarma to Melbourne in further celebration of its Australasian release of Hori Smoku, a documentary on the life and times of world-renowned tattooist Norman Collins, aka Sailor Jerry.

 

To know what you’re in for (including the screening, arm wrestling, roller girls, tattooing, clipper cuts, massive wieners, popcorn, copious amounts of spiced rum and more) check out the sheer spectacle of last month’s unbridled bash in Sydney.   

Campaign Brief 225.pngSays Peter Grasse, from Curious Film: “I’m so friggin excited to bring this event to Melbourne. You asked for it and we listened at Curious Film. I have a lot of friends in Melbourne and from my experience, Victorians kick ass in general. This is going to be one hell of a rockin party.”

 

Norman Collins built his reputation in the crucible of tattoo arts, Hotel Street, Honolulu. It was a place crowded with sailors, soldiers and roughnecks. Every man here was one step away from an adventure that would define the rest of his life and tattoos were a rite of passage. Through archived footage and interviews with the men that lived it, Hori Smoku brings you to the centre of the mayhem.

 

Screening starts at 7pm. Party pops into full gear at 8 o’clock. After Party location TBA.
