Unknown Pleasures presents: Tribute to Ivan Gaal. A night honouring legendary Melbourne documentary filmmaker Ivan Gaal, with 50 years of filmmaking behind him.

In the ’70s he started making documentary and educational films, and he was involved with the Melbourne Film-Makers’ Co-Op and the Pram Factory. A collection of his shorts will be shown, including the classics Camberwell Junction (1974, 5 mins) and Ibrahim (1985, 30 mins).

Q&A with Ivan Gaal, moderated by Jake Wilson (THE AGE)
