Anything Goes, Anything Shows!

A new platform for creative and passionate minds to come together and share visual stories

Are you a film junkie? Whether you like watching or making films, this is your chance to catch a variety of interesting short films in the comfort of our upstairs lounge (designated TV room for the night!). Anything from today's pop culture and mushy love stories to arty pieces and documentaries; you name it, we'll show it. Come eat, drink, be merry and... watch films! We'll even provide freshly-popped curry and seaweed popcorn for your munching pleasure. We reckon dinner beforehand at PP would be a good idea :)

For the 11th edition of our monthly film night (always on a Thursday), Palate Palette proudly presents EARTHLINGS, a feature length documentary about humanity’s absolute dependence on animals but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called “non-human providers.” There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking! Don’t miss this opportunity!

Come join us! Screenings are free!

EARTHLINGS
9pm, Thursday, 21 August 2008
upstairs lounge @ Palate Palette

TOTAL RUNNING TIME: 95 MINUTES / Color / ALL REGION / 2007

Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and featuring music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby, EARTHLINGS is a documentary film about humankind's complete economic dependence on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative, controversial and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests.
