THIS THURSDAY! 💥 Join us for a free, double feature screening of Australian artist duo Soda Jerk’s ‘Terror Nullius’ and ‘Hello Dankness’, co-presented by FMC and Orchid Contemporary 🍿

🗓️Thursday, December 11th | 7–9:30PM
📍Factory Media Centre
✍️RSVP Required

Part political satire, eco-horror and road movie, ‘Terror Nullius’ is a political revenge fable constructed entirely from samples pirated from the Australian cinema cannon. ‘Hello Dankness’ is a political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021, and the mythologies and lore that took root around it.

Due to limited seating, we ask that attendees RSVP.
