The Fifth Element (1997)

May 18, 2018

June 1, 2018

The Summer’s heating up and The Fifth Reel is re-visiting one of our favourite Summer popcorn flicks! – THE FIFTH ELEMENT

“Two hundred and fifty years in the future, life as we know it is threatened by the arrival of Evil. Only the Fifth Element can stop the Evil from extinguishing life, as it tries to do every five thousand years. She is assisted by a former elite commando turned cab driver, Korben Dallas, who is, in turn, helped by Prince/Arsenio clone, Ruby Rhod. Unfortunately, Evil is being assisted by Mr. Zorg, who seeks to profit from the chaos that Evil will bring, and his alien mercenaries.” – imdb

Get there early before the movie to catch a set from POLLY DACTIC

“You won’t find a lot on a Google search of Polly Dactic, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something special hiding out of sight. The solo project of Nyssa Brown (blue odeur, Hag Face, Blü Shorts) treads in krauty synths, improvised performance art and nods to astrology.” – Sled Island”

Stephen Groo has made over 180 films in the past 20 years crossing a broad range of genres from fantasy to romance to sci-fi thriller. A true American DIY amateur, his eccentric style has gained him a loyal Hollywood fan base including Jared Hess (director, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and NACHO LIBRE), Jack Black, Jemaine Clement, and Mike White. Groo has never made a profit on any of his 180 films, but he’s determined to go for broke (again) and give it one last shot to produce his original elf/human love story film. With no permits, little money, and volunteer actors, the film follows Groo as he tries to complete the project and woo and cast Jack Black as the sheriff in his film.
