- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
Directed by Phillip Noyce as one of his earliest experiments, Good Afternoon captures the 1971 Aquarius Arts Festival in Canberra in full psychedelic overload.
Using two screens, layered sound and a roving camera, it documents 10,000 people doing their own thing – performing, protesting, celebrating, improvising.
Less a documentary than a sensory jolt, it immerses the viewer in colour, energy and chaos. Funded by the Australian Union of Students, it remains a landmark in radical Australian filmmaking.
