Schedule Change
Posted 1st August, 2008
Due to the archival nature of the print, Land of the Dead will now screen at the Forum (not Greater Union as advertised). It will still be at the same time of 11.30pm.
The film may commence 5-10 mins later than the advertised time to allow those who turn up to Greater Union to make their way down to Forum in time for the start of the film.
