Choc Tops in the Attic - Sydney 31st August

An evening of conversation & discussion for actors, writers, filmmakers, film lovers & students of film.

Independent spirits, Aspasia and Jaimie Leonarder are stalwarts of the independent and underground cinema and music scene in Australia.

Based in the inner west in Sydney and inveterate travellers to all national festivals, Jaimie and Aspa have been running Sounds of Seduction, Mu-Meson screenings and Cult Sinema movies for a decade or more and it's largely thanks to their tireless work and boundless curiosity that a number of Australian film makers and musicians have gone on to achieve marked success in this country.

Their catalogue and knowledge of cinema and lost genres is second to none and it's for this reason that Jaimie recently landed the role of co-host on the new SBS 'The Movie Show' and Aspasia runs a Thursday show on FBI radio.

Their respective backgrounds are as colourful and diverse as their personalities and together they've carved a substantial and unique niche and immensely popular following in Australia - whether it be for their multimedia nights at the Mu-Meson Archives with bands playing sets between reels of lost Man from Uncle episodes and Conspiracy documentaries or their marathon gigs around town playing lost classics of the 60's with modern loops or the more homely Monday night screenings of Cult Classics at the Annandale Hotel.

Dangerously funny, passionate with just about everything and thoroughly beyond sane description, an evening with Jaimie and Aspasia is guaranteed to be a memorable event.
