SALE Film Society meets for its first screening of the year this Wednesday at The Wedge. Ushering in the 2024 schedule is Ego: The Michael Gudinski Story, a feature-length documentary profiling an eccentric, influential and much-loved figure of the Australian music scene.
Michael Gudinski is the founder of Mushroom Records, a label which found huge success through bands such as Skyhooks, Ted Mulry Gang, Split Enz and Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons.
He then went on to become a promoter and tour organiser, before dying in 2021 at the age of 68.
This documentary had its world premiere at last year’s Melbourne International Film Festival, earning widespread acclaim and a subsequent theatrical release.
Ego screens tomorrow from 7.30pm, with drinks available at Shirley’s Café and Bar from 7pm.
Entry is free to Society members and $10 to non-members.
Founded in 2017, the Sale Film Society aims to showcase independent, arthouse and classic movies to cinephiles in the Wellington Shire.
