Attention Experimental and avant-garde filmmakers!
Applications for the Hanlon Larsen Screen Fellowship (HLSF), supports an outstanding South Australian screen practitioner, are now open!
The HLSF awards a fellowship to the value of $45,000, inclusive of $25,000 cash, to assist the creation or completion and delivery of an ambitious experimental screen-based work.
Created by Co-Chair of The Mercury Peter Hanlon, to honour his friend, film lecturer and filmmaker, the late Cole Larsen, the HLSF was established to inspire and enable aspiring experimental and surreal filmmakers to develop their distinctive voice and create bold work for the screen and will ensure that Cole’s commitment to think (& do) outside the square will live on.

For inspiration, check out last year's HLSF winner STREGA, directed and produced by Tiah Trimboli. STREGA, stunning dance film that explores the vulnerability and complex femininity of the three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, will premiere as part of the Made in SA shorts program at Adelaide Film Festival on 28 October (sold out), with a follow-up screening on 2 November 2024 and tickets can be booked at https://www.adelaidefilmfestival.org/program/2024/strega

Got no plans for Friday night?
How's complimentary tea and coffee (+ biscuits 🥐🍪🧁) with a film sound?
We've got A TASTE OF HUNGER at 7PM (and 10:30AM). 💛
Maggie and Carsten love each other, they have two wonderful children and run their own gourmet restaurant; Malus. They want it all. And they have it all. Almost. They are missing the coveted Michelin Star. It has been their dream, on which they gambled everything to win. One day Carsten receives a letter saying that his wife loves somebody else. But who sent the letter and why? In their continuous passion and pursuit for the ultimate recognition, they forget that the meals of life are best enjoyed together.
And HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS at 9:05PM 🥸
A 19th century supernatural winter epic where a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.
This black-and-white slapstick comedy is absolutely bonkers – it’s bizarre and brilliant and has to be seen to be believed. With rave reviews and a slew of festival and audience awards, this soon to be cult classic is screening exclusively at The Mercury. Not to be missed!
Single tickets available at themercury.org.au and ALL screenings FREE for subscribers (complimentary tea and coffee 🥐 included, of course!).
