318 St. Georges Rd, Nth. Fitzroy

Long Play is a boutique Cinema & Bar
in Melbourne that has a bar up the front,
and a small dedicated cinema at the back.



Before Unknown Pleasures officially began in 2019 with both Chris Luscri and Bill Mousoulis curating and presenting it, Bill Mousoulis staged a number of screenings (6 in total) in 2018, screenings that were clearly a precursor to the screenings of 2019 and beyond.

STANLEY'S MOUTH by Mike Retter.
Retter's 9:16 feature from 2015, made in Adelaide.

Melbourne Premiere screening.

Starring: Stanley Browning Patch Oliver

Directed by Mike Retter, Produced by Allison Chhorn

​A portrait of Stanley, who encounters new experiences unhindered by his Christianity. As his childhood memories yearn the nostalgic connection with his father, his relationship with another boy, Patch, becomes increasingly consuming.

Through the vertical frame of textured and experimental imagery, his emotional turmoil becomes wrapped up in visceral intensities and nostalgic melancholy.

"An extraordinary, haunting, poignant, bold and brave film. Stanley has a face to make the angels weep."
- Peter Goers, ABC Radio
