About
(Haydn Keenan, 1983, Australia, 94 min, in English)
Middle-class Karli (Tracy Mann, Hard Knocks), alcoholic Jane (Vera Plevnik, Monkey Grip), unemployed Jackie (Julie Barry, Hell Hole), and square Ellen (Moira MacLaine-Cross, Tender Hooks) are four friends living together and barely scraping by in suburban Sydney. But when Karlis father offers her a little money and a one-way ticket to New York, she finally sees a way out of her dead-end lifethat is, until the money goes missing, kickstarting a final night out on the town that none of them will ever forget.
With a screenplay written by and based on the lives of two of its stars, performances from local Sydney bands Pel Mel and the Dynamic Hepnotics, and supporting appearances by a handful of beloved Ozploitation regularsincluding David Argue (BMX Bandits) and Hugh Keays-Byrne (Mad Max)Haydn Keenans debut feature Going Down is an underseen landmark of Australian cinema and a vivid portrait of Sydney in the early 80s. Existing somewhere between Susan Seidelmans Smithereens and Juliet Berto and Jean-Henri Rogers Neige in its depictions of the thrills and dangers of urban life, Going Down is a visceral testament to friendship and making it at any cost.
A strange, loud piece of feministic cinema that women will adore and others will find exuberating. Tharunka
While Going Down has all the wit and inventiveness that tempts a critic to call it the best Australian film in years, its basic strength is a riotous realism that should appeal to youth audiences in droves (if they get to see it). Meaghan Morris, Australian Financial Review

Accessibilité
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org
