Old Tailem Town Emporium

Another story about Old Tailem Town. Definitely not the last one...

 

Mini Regent Cinema

Adelaide Film Festival went for 10 days in our city.  I was doing photography for that and I had to abandon my blog for a while. However I have returned with a bunch of interesting photos of people, places and moments taken during the Festival.

Today I would like to show you something absolutely amazing! It’s Adelaide’s miracle – the Mini Regent Cinema. I had a chance to watch old b&w movie with Cary Grant in there. I think I was lucky enough because this Cinema is not open for public. So, what is it?

It’s a 24 seat cinema housed in a suburban back shed recreating the Regent Cinemas from the 20’s in miniature. That glamorous Adelaide Regent Cinema located on Rundle Street that was opened on 1928 and demolished in the sixties to make way for a shopping centre. Current owner of the Mini Regent Cinema, a big film lover, collected discarded items and materials and worked on his dream to recreate beautiful Regent Cinema. And the Mini Regent was born...

That the history of this little treasure. Honestly, I can’t describe my feeling about being there properly. Can’t find the right words. Just have a look at the photos. Can you feel like you are in 1930’s?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steampunk-themed

Another modelling photo shoot. Steampunk obsession. 

To predict your question ‘What is steampunk?’, I am going to provide a definition. Lets open Urban Dictionary website (sorry, I’m not going to explain it in my own words, too long :)

‘Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.

Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages.

Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution.

Western Steampunk: Science fiction set in the American Old West.

Industrial/Modern Steampunk: Science fiction taking place in the late industrial age, early modern age; i.e. World War 1, World War 2

Examples of steampunk:

Wild Wild West

Final Fantasy 7

Van Helsing

The Time Machine

Hellboy

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow’

Love story: Bonnie and Clyde

Guys, it’s story time. Have you ever heard about Bonnie and Clyde? According to Wikipedia they ‘were well-known American outlaws, robbers, and criminals who travelled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression.’ 

In the modern popular culture they are surrounded by romantic halo of love and danger. There are several movies based on Bonnie and Clyde story, the famous one is ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ directed by Arthur Penn in 1967 which starred Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. If you like criminal love stories, this tale is exactly for you!

Here is our version of Bonnie and Clyde. She is beautiful and dangerous, he is fearless and romantic. Let the story begin.
