The Invisible College

The Invisible College Makes Its Debut At Electric Palace Cinema

An evening of uncanny sound and vision from the master builders of The Outer Church

Film Screening:

Body Melt (1993) with exclusive newly recorded intro from director Philip Brophy

Australian writer/director Philip Brophy's body horror cult classic has been described as "The Substance before The Substance" and embeds a scathing satire of Big Pharma within a gruesome miasma of practical effects and sick humour. Eyeballs pop, flesh liquefies, placentas attack and Ian Smith (aka Harold Bishop from Neighbours) appears as Dr Carrera.

"A slime-soaked all-out shocker!" (Fangoria Magazine)

Live Electronic Music:

Trigger Object (US)

"The long-running project of Vern Avola, a composer and multimedia artist based in Portland, Oregon… slow-modulating drone; random, transient snippets of field recording; scribbles of synth… these tone poems are more like soundscapes; dim-lit half-spaces slowly, cautiously explored to find the margins" (The Wire Magazine, March 2026)

Dream Skills (US)

"The modular synth alias of Donald Grant McLean, founder of noise rock group Action Beat, whose work over the past decade has moved towards electronic music" (The Wire Magazine, April 2024)
