ADELAIDE PREMIERE
Stingray Sam (15+) with director Q&A

Dir: Cory McAbee
USA 2009 61mins 35mm

A dangerous mission reuinites Stingray Sam with his long lost accomplice, The Quasar Kid. Follow these two space-convicts as they earn their freedom in exchange for the rescue of a young girl who is being held captive by the genetically designed figurehead of a very wealthy planet. McAbee's incredibly engaging story, with beautiful black and white photography, is the most fun you'll have in the independent theatre this year. This new cult sci-fi musical from the acclaimed director of The American Astronaut is exclusively screening at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide for one night only. Meet the director, Cory McAbee for a Q&A session after the film.

Presented by the MRC and the SAFC FilmLab initiative. Special thanks to ACMI.
