    Some Film Museums I Have Known

    Hop on this train, it's smaller than your thumb but the destination is bigger than all the days of your life combined. At least that is what the Barumpool Film Museum wants you to believe.

    Childhood dreams of tourist traps are the fodder of this Imperial Panda gem, devised and built by Rhubarb Rhubarb, the team behind film re-dub masterpieces Wonka and Mad Max Remix.

    Some Film Museums I Have Known is the culmination of three years worth of body fluids, craft liquids and VHS material, with input from some of Sydney's top performance makers: Eddie Sharp (Erotic Fan Fiction), Kenzie Larsen, Natalie Randall (Team MESS) and Nick Coyle (Pig Island).

    Following a season at Melbourne's NextWave Festival in 2010, Some Film Museums I Have Known is one of the must-see shows of the 2011 Imperial Panda Festival. Grab a beer and laksa at the Old Fitz, then regress to either infantile make-believe or deranged atavism in this dark fantasy about two brothers, a crusty museum and the devilish power that G-rated films will forever hold over pre-teens.
