Film maker Matt Bonner with Tiffany Paterson create a super8 film of the pines of Lara with members of Lara RSL. A ceremony in the light of dawn is seen, a fleeting record of the mysteries and rituals of remembrance surrounded by trees laden with meaning.
A live soundscape created by a group of young sound artists exploring improvised sound and noise and maybe a bit of music.

Performances at 7.30, 8.30 and 9.30pm
