So many of our readers missed out on the preview screening of MIDNIGHT OIL 1984 that the distributors, Madman Films, are offering in-season double passes to see the film in cinemas after it opens May 10th.

More information, including cinema list,  at Madman Entertainment and watch the official trailer  here.

In 1984 Midnight Oil launched the tour for their new album “Red Sails in the Sunset”. At the same time a new political party, the Nuclear Disarmament Party, approached Midnight Oil’s lead singer Peter Garrett to head their run for a Senate seat in NSW. 

Midnight Oil had been building a strong following since 1977, their live performances were legendary.  Their popularity was giving a voice to the feelings of a young generation concerned about nuclear power, indigenous affairs, environmentalism and US dominance of Australian culture. 

It is these early, sometimes awkward, formative years that are at the centre of the film.

Thanks to Madman Entertainment,to celebrate the release of MIDNIGHT OIL 1984 for a limited cinema season from May 10th,  we’re giving away in-season double passes.
