We're climbing back into the void for the third instalment of our Liminal Space season. After the chaotic vibes of last week, Sarah has led us into the hazy sun-drenched mystery of Peter Weir's 1975 masterpiece, Picnic at Hanging Rock. It's a film that defines Australian cinema and remains one of the most haunting pop-culture touchstones of the 1970s, even if Dan is convinced the titular landmark is a self-powered, solar-propelled magic rock with a hidden toaster outlet for your crumpets. We anchor ourselves into the cinema of Victorian repression, exploring how a group of schoolgirls from Appleyard College vanished on Valentine's Day in 1900. Is the rock simply a geological wonder, or is it an ancient, cosmic horror entity capable of folding time and space? We discuss the ethereal atmosphere created by Weir and the legendary “great wig drama” involving a formidable Rachel Roberts. From Jackie Weaver's flat cap adventure to the mystery of the 1900 era thin bananas, we're leaving no stone unturned. What to expect from this episode: Sarah explains why this is the quintessential entry for our liminal space movies season. Dan reveals his theory about the rock being a self-powered solar panel for picnickers. A look at the tyrannical performance of Rachel Roberts and her refusal to look at her co-stars. We discuss the ethereal cinematography and framing. The mystery of the thin bananas and a tangent about why fruit was better in the good old days. Why an American distributor was so angry about the ending, he threw coffee at his TV. A breakdown of some of the deleted scenes from the theatrical cut and the motive behind Peter Weir's directors cut. The secret clock-stopping powers of the book's eccentric author. How a teenager almost made the movie before Patricia Lovell stepped in. Dan tries to reconcile if this is a Lovecraftian horror or just a very long afternoon without enough snacks.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 657 Sam Drog returns for another of our on-going movie talk therapy sessions. And as we make recommendations that most people don't get, we also mention… Sinners, the X film series, Blue Moon, Is God Is, Honey Don't!, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Tura!, The Bride!, accumulating things, The Fabelmans, Predestination, leaving the house only when necessary, movies where nothing happens, different cinema formats, Critters 2 and/or 3, there are days… when I feel my anger might consume me, I'm kind of like Jeremiah Johnson now, people's deranged hard drive, artsy remakes of classic horror movies, Ti West, Coen brothers movies, a crazy religious cult, Ethan Hawke, being shot by gamma rays, living in an archaeological dig, The Cars That Ate Paris, having Elvis propose to you, and how many Michael B Jordan's are in this movie?! Spoiler Alert: So that spoiler that everybody has known about "Sinners" for the last year… yeah, we talk about that. "I got my corkboard and ball of yarn…"
Peter Weir's follow up to Picnic at Hanging Rock - 1978's The Last Wave - deals with similar themes, with colonialism butting against the wild mysticism of Australia's land and people. However, this time...it's WET AS HELL. BenDavid Grabinski - the filmmaker behind the upcoming Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice - joins us to talk about this beguiling film, apocalyptic thinking, Richard Chamberlain's status as the king of TV miniseries, and Tom Shadyac's Dragonfly, weirdly enough.

On St. Valentine's Day in 1900, a group of podcasters set out to record an episode about Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock. Some were never to return...because they got addicted to the calming sounds of pan flute! Filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun joins us to chat about this 1975 classic of Australian cinema, and we're getting into the eerie qualities that make this film such an enduring mystery. From Rachel Roberts' wig drama to frame rate manipulation...from the Aboriginal concept of "dream time" to the casting of actual private school girls...there's much to unpack. But don't worry, we also spend a lot of time discussing The Grabber from The Black Phone 2.

Federica Muzzarelli"C'è un tempo e un luogo"Silvia CamporesiCentro della Fotografia, Romawww.centrodellafotografia.it“C'è un tèmpo e un luogo giusto pèrchè qualsiasi cosa abbia principio e finè…”dal film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) di Peter WeirLa mostra C'è un tempo e un luogo, che apre al pubblico sino al 29 giugno nei nuovi spazi del Centro della Fotografia di Roma Capitale, è curata da Federica Muzzarelli, ed è dedicata al lavoro fotografico di Silvia Camporesi.Il titolo trae ispirazione dal film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) di Peter Weir, opera cult intrisa di mistero e sospensione temporale, in cui i luoghi diventano protagonisti assoluti di una narrazione senza soluzione e nasce da una riflessione profonda sul concetto di frattura: tra reale e artificiale, natura e cultura, presenza e assenza, passato e presente.Come nel film, anche nelle immagini di Silvia Camporesi il tempo sembra arrestarsi e lo spazio si carica di un'ènèrgia ènigmatica. I luoghi – veri, alterati, ricostruiti o immaginati – non sono mai sèmplici soggètti, ma l'èsito visibilè di un procèsso più profondo: il viaggio, l'èspèriènza fisica è mèntalè dèll'artista attravèrso tèrritori gèografici, storici èd èmotivi.“Sono i luoghi i protagonisti indiscussi delle fotografie di Silvia Camporesi: veri, falsi, modificati, inventati, vissuti, stravolti o, invece, solo trovati. Ma questi luoghi, queste fotografie, sono il punto finale, l'esito oggettuale, di qualcosa di molto più importante e fondante per il suo lavoro di artista. Che è il percorso, l'esperienza, il viaggio attraverso e insieme a quei luoghi. Da La terza Venezia a Journey to Armenia, da Atlas Italie ad Almanacco Sentimentale e da Mirabilia all'Omaggio al Mattatoio, il lavoro di Silvia Camporesi rappresenta molto bene quella speciale e magica fusione tra l'espressione artistica e il bisogno autobiografico che la fotografia riesce a rendere in modo speciale. Un'attrazione verso quello che non sta dove dovrebbe stare, e che ti chiede di essere aiutato e sostenuto per essere reso ancora più strano e perturbante. In sostanza, quel segreto che sta dentro le cose, e che per questo non può che stare anche dentro l'anima della fotografia”, dichiara la curatrice Federica Muzzarelli, Profèssorèssa Ordinaria di Storia dèlla Fotografia prèsso il Dipartimènto dèllè Arti, Univèrsita di Bologna è coordinatricè dèl Cèntro di Ricèrca FAF (Fotografia Artè Fèmminismi).Il percorso espositivo, che si articola in cinque sezioni e riunisce cinque serie fondamentali rèalizzatè nèll'arco di quindici anni di attività: La terza Venezia, Journey to Armenia, Atlas Italiæ, Almanacco sentimentale e Mirabilia, contempla anche Omaggio al Mattatoio, opera che entrerà a far parte del neonato Archivio del Centro della Fotografia. Progetti diversi ma interconnessi, che testimoniano una pratica fotografica in equilibrio costante tra documento e finzione, rigore metodologico e libertà immaginativa.Dalla Vènèzia sospèsa è rèinvèntata, alla stratificazionè storica è umana dèll'Armènia; dai paesi abbandonati italiani, luoghi di memoria e cura, fino alla ricostruzione fotografica di eventi mai avvenuti o irrisolti e alle architetture visionarie di Mirabilia, Camporesi costruisce un atlante poetico in cui la fotografia diventa strumento di conoscenza, controllo e insieme di smarrimento.Al cèntro dèlla ricèrca èmèrgè l'idèa dèlla fotografia comè èspèriènza di fratturè: frattura temporale, che costringe passato e presente a coesistere; ontologica, tra verità e manipolazione; simbolica, tra apparenza e sostanza. In questa tensione si colloca una pratica artistica chè uniscè il bisogno autobiografico all'indaginè sul paèsaggio, trasformando l'immaginè in luogo di mèditazionè, silènzio è mistèro. Una riflèssionè sulla fotografia comè confine: tra vero e falso, naturale e artificiale, passato e presente. Le immagini mettono in discussione ciò che vediamo e ciò che crediamo di conoscere, invitando lo spettatore a rallèntarè lo sguardo è ad accèttarè l'incèrtèzza comè partè dèll'èspèriènza.C'è un tempo e un luogo è quindi un racconto per immagini che parla di memoria, fragilità e trasformazione. Una mostra che invita a perdersi nei luoghi e nei loro segreti, ricordandoci che, come nella fotografia, anche nella realtà esistono spazi e momenti che sfuggono a ogni spiegazione. La mostra restituisce una visione coerente e stratificata del lavoro di Silvia Camporesi, confermandone il ruolo centrale nel panorama della fotografia contemporanea italiana: una ricerca capace di rivelare, attraverso i luoghi, ciò che resta nascosto, fragile e indicibile.La mostra è promossa da Roma Capitale e Fondazione Mattatoio e organizzata da Civita Mostre e Musei.Accompagna la mostra un catalogo a cura di Cimorelli Editore.Silvia Camporesi (1973) laurèata in filosofia, utilizza i linguaggi dèlla fotografia è dèl vidèo.

Clare Balding meets the adventurer Pom Oliver for a woodland wander near her home in West Sussex. As they stroll amongst the trees, Pom recalls extraordinary chapters from her life: polar and desert expeditions, an epic hitch‑hiking journey from Cape Town to Sydney, and her time in the film industry working on much‑loved productions such as Biggles and Picnic at Hanging Rock.Their conversation also turns to Pom's latest adventure - a challenging three‑month trek across Saudi Arabia, tracing the footsteps of traders along the ancient incense route.The walk begins at Pom's home, but listeners keen to explore the woodland can enter it from The Blue Ship pub in the tiny hamlet of The Haven (postcode RH14 9BS).Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Show Notes:In this week's episode, I talk with castmates Kaye Tuckerman and Bradley Lewis about their backgrounds in horror and their experience in the new musical adaptation of the Australian mystery film Picnic at Hanging Rock currently playing in New York City. Kaye explains again what it's like to visit Hanging Rock in Australia, Bradley tells me how he got into horror later in life, and how the rock score adds to the story. Bradley, who is of Native American heritage, told me about a site in New Mexico that's similar to Hanging Rock, what his heritage brings to his character, and we also talk about song lines, representation, and the mystery of the land in his heritage, as well as that of Hanging Rock.Socials & Where to Buy Tickets:Kaye's IG: https://www.instagram.com/kayetuckerman/ Bradley's Website: https://bradley-lewis.com/ Buy tickets to Picnic at Hanging Rock through 1/17: https://www.picnicthemusical.com/Who's There?

Barthelme’s surreal, post-modern writing was massively influential for the short story market and for evolving conceptions of literary realism and irrealism, but he’s not often discussed in speculative circles.

In this episode of the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I sit down with Ruby Heard, a proud descendant of the Jaru and Gija peoples and founder of Alinga Energy Consulting. Ruby shares her journey into electrical engineering and how a decision at sixteen to “save the world” set her on a path from Hanging Rock, Victoria, to global projects in Silicon Valley and refugee camps in Ethiopia. We yarn about her role on the First Nations Clean Energy Network steering committee, the push to ensure mob are in the driver’s seat of Australia’s renewable energy transition, and the successes of community-led clean energy projects already underway. Ruby also speaks about the barriers communities face in accessing reliable and affordable power, the reality of prepaid “power cards” in remote areas, and the opportunities to create lasting change through policy, education, and Indigenous leadership. This conversation is both inspiring and practical—showing what’s possible when cultural knowledge and engineering expertise come together to build a just energy future.

We have some strange beasts here in the Lone Star State. Things like a white bison. To the Indians this is considered a sign of things improving. The Black Dog of Hanging Rock is scary, but no one has died seeing it. We have our very own Tatzelwurm, maybe related to the one in the Alps. There are a lot of weird creatures to be seen or heard here in Texas.
Show Notes:This week I'm talking to actor, educator and musician Kaye Tuckerman, who is playing Patrick Bateman's mother in American Psycho the Musical at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Texas this September 2nd through the 14th. The Australia native also wrote and sang the promotional song for the 2005 Australian horror movie Wolf Creek. We talked about why she loves the horror genre, how she thinks American and Australian horror differ, and what it was like to direct a production of The Addams Family in Australia after the pandemic. She also told me what her favorite Grimms Fairy Tale was as a child, her profound and mysterious experience visiting the actual Hanging Rock in Australia, and how she thinks American Psycho lands differently in each successive decade, and so much more.Kaye's Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/kayetuckerman/ Website: https://www.kayetuckerman.com/musicBuy tickets for American Psycho: https://my.thehobbycenter.org/overview/7465?_gl=1*1bx32zd*_gcl_au*MTMwMDcyMzE0NS4xNzUzNDYwMzU0Ljk0MDAzODc2OC4xNzUzODE0ODE3LjE3NTM4MTQ4NDE.

What happens, this film asks, when an event resists the imposition of order, stands beyond the reach of logic or even language? Wes & Erin continue their discussion of “Picnic at Hanging Rock.”
It's Valentine's Day in the state of Victoria, Australia in the year 1900. A group from a local girls' school goes on an excursion to the foot of an eerie, vast geological formation called Hanging Rock. Three girls and one schoolteacher climb up to explore it. All but one are never seen again. This summary constitutes the essential plot but only the first act of Peter Weir's 1975 film, based on the novel by Joan Lindsay. The remaining two acts concern the surviving characters' struggle to make sense of what happened on the rock. Yet, sense is not what the film intends to deliver. Rather, it's an anti-mystery that dismantles the nature of the mystery story itself—its love of solutions, its neat settling of the uncertainties that crime or menace introduce. What happens, this film asks, when an event resists the imposition of order, stands beyond the reach of logic or even language? Wes & Erin discuss “Picnic at Hanging Rock.”

Today Drusilla and Josh discuss Peter Weir's under loved The Plumber (1979). From wiki: “The Plumber is a 1979 Australian psychological thriller film about a psychotic plumber who terrorizes a grad student. Written and directed by Peter Weir, The Plumber was originally made and broadcast as a television film in Australia in 1979 but was subsequently released to theatres in several countries beginning with the United States in 1981.[1] The film was made shortly after Weir's critically acclaimed Picnic at Hanging Rock became one of the first Australian films to appeal to an international audience.[2] The film stars Judy Morris, Ivar Kants, and Robert Coleby, all of them being most notable at the time as actors in Australian soap operas.[3]Also discussed: television, Nights of Cabiria, Medea, Heart Eyes (2025), Companion (2025), Despiser (2003), Presence (2025), Rules of the Game, Carlos Hugo Christansen films, Cornell Woolrich, and more!We do commentary!

Germans head to the polls Sunday at a time of increasing popularity for far-right politicians and Europe at a crossroads over Ukraine. Trump wants to stop funding schools with diversity initiatives. LAUSD officials fear losing more than a billion dollars in federal funding. Critics review the latest film releases: “Old Guy,” “The Monkey,” “Picnic at Hanging Rock,” “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.” Two foods that are fun to make and satisfying to eat: onigiri (Japanese rice balls) and spring rolls.

VIII "Picnic at Hanging Rock", de Joan Lindsay, es una novela de misterio publicada en 1967 que ha desconcertado a los lectores por generaciones. La historia está ambientada en Australia en el año 1900 y sigue a un grupo de estudiantes del Appleyard College, un internado victoriano para señoritas de clase alta. Durante una excursión a Hanging Rock el 14 de febrero, día de San Valentín, tres alumnas, Miranda, Marion e Irma, junto con una profesora, la señorita McCraw, desaparecen sin dejar rastro. Solo Edith, una de las jóvenes, regresa al campamento en estado de shock, incapaz de recordar lo sucedido. Las investigaciones comienzan, pero no logran esclarecer el enigma. La única pista concreta es el posterior hallazgo de Irma Leopold, una de las desaparecidas, aunque sin recuerdos de lo ocurrido. El misterio queda sin resolver, lo que lleva a múltiples teorías, desde lo racional hasta lo sobrenatural. Un misterio más allá de la ficción "Picnic en Hanging Rock" no es solo una novela, es una experiencia literaria que se adentra en lo inquietante, en lo inexplicable. La propia Joan Lindsay contribuyó a la sensación de ambigüedad al insinuar en entrevistas que la historia podría estar basada en hechos reales. Su aire enigmático, su mirada siempre evasiva al responder sobre la inspiración del libro, y el hecho de que escribiera la historia en apenas cuatro semanas, tras una serie de sueños lúcidos, han alimentado aún más el mito. El famoso “Capítulo 18”, eliminado de la publicación original y publicado póstumamente en The Secret of Hanging Rock(1987), plantea una hipótesis aún más extraña. En él, se sugiere que las chicas fueron absorbidas por una grieta en la roca, desapareciendo en lo que podría ser un portal dimensional o un fenómeno sobrenatural. Este final, lejos de cerrar la historia, la vuelve aún más misteriosa. ¿Era Lindsay simplemente una narradora excepcional? ¿O sabía algo que no quiso revelar del todo? Algunos investigadores han explorado registros históricos de la época y han encontrado informes de desapariciones en la región de Hanging Rock. Se ha hablado de niñas que desaparecieron sin dejar rastro, de rituales indígenas que consideraban el lugar sagrado, e incluso de posibles crímenes ocultos por el tiempo. Uno de los casos más perturbadores en relación con la historia de Lindsay es el de una exalumna de una escuela que podría haber inspirado el Appleyard College. A sus cien años, declaró: “Todos sabíamos sobre las chicas que desaparecieron, pero ninguno conocía los detalles”. Palabras inquietantes que dejan entrever que el misterio podría haber tenido una base real. También hay otro hecho extraño: Anne-Louise Lambert, la actriz que interpretó a Miranda en la adaptación cinematográfica de Peter Weir (1975), relató un momento escalofriante con Joan Lindsay. Durante el rodaje, la escritora la abrazó con lágrimas en los ojos y le dijo: "Miranda... ha pasado tanto tiempo". Anne intentó recordarle que ella solo era una actriz, pero Joan Lindsay parecía estar en otro tiempo, en otro lugar, como si realmente estuviera viendo a la verdadera Miranda. ¿Era un simple desliz de una anciana nostálgica, o realmente había visto algo en su niñez que nunca pudo explicar? Las dudas permanecen. ¿Es Picnic en Hanging Rock solo una obra de ficción? ¿O Lindsay fue, de algún modo, una vidente que captó los ecos de un suceso olvidado? La propia autora dejó esta frase en el prólogo original, antes de que fuera eliminada por los editores: "Para el autor, que conocía muy bien el Monte Macedon y la Roca Colgante, cuando era niño, la historia es completamente cierta.” HAZTE MECENAS, no dejes que La Biblioteca, cierre Nunca sus Puertas… Sigamos sumando en LLDLL, SUSCRIBETE en IVOOX y comparte.

"...The Eerieness Remains": Joan Lindsey. We talk about Mark Fisher's final chapter about Picnic at Hanging Rock (1967) by Joan Lindsey and the synthesis of the weird and the eerie of the unpublished chapter in the book.
50 years ago, a 20-something Peter Weir decided to hypnotise us away from the possibility of solutions when he adapted Joan Lindsay's novel into the Australian gothic horror classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock. On Valentine's day in 1900, the students from Miss Appleyard's depart their fortress-like school in rural Victoria for a lazy afternoon at the base of Hanging Rock. The hot wind blows in, the clocks stop, the girls peel off their stockings and, as the ants descend on the remains of the picnic, four girls ascend the rock, along with one of their teachers. Only one of them returns. As people hear of the mysterious disappearances, search parties break out, but only one girl is recovered, missing her corset and her memory of what happened at Hanging Rock. As are we all. Because if you need an ending you're a bit weak in the head.See AlsoThe Secret of Hanging Rock available on eBay or via this PDFJoan Linsday's memoir 'Time Without Clocks' published in 1962Mulberry Hill, Joan's house which is now owned by the National TrustInterview with producer Pat Lovell in Cinema Papers from 1976Scan of the scriptDeleted scene of Mrs Appleyard at the rock NFSA page that includes info about the costumes and deleted scenes and stills, interviews with cast and crewJudith Dorsman's dollsMartin Sharp's Tiny Tim concert film is on Plex and his unfinished doc Street of Dreams is on YouTubeThe BeguiledThe FitsUmbrella's Making of Picnic at Hanging Rock – part 1 and part 2Magic Dirt's She-Riff videoThe Fast Forward sketch Anne Lambert on ABC's just Between UsNew adaptation from Sydney Theatre Company playing 17 February – 5 April 2025 Hosted on Acast.
