Films in the Southern Highlands
Fish's opening show was Jim Jamusch's Night on Earth, on Tuesday August 30th 1994. This first event was a surprising success. Around one hundred people packed into the small cinema at the Empire and helped to launch our film group. From its inception it has shown Art House movies that were not exhibited outside Sydney; although from time to time this has been varied and may well be in the future. A majority of that original audience was composed of subscribers to the Travelling Film Festival which had been coming to Bowral since 1974.
Much of the credit for the initial success of this venture lies with the then new proprietor of the Empire Cinema. Richard Ruhfus was looking to expand the type of audiences that came regularly to the Empire and so in July 1994, he gathered together an interested group of people at Epicure and offered them the Empire free of charge once a month. To those of us for whom Film Society meant struggling with 16mm projectors in school halls this was a wonderful offer and it created the conditions and enthusiasm that proved so successful in the following years.
