AUTOLUMINESCENT - a tribute to the late Roland S Howard

From myth to legend Rowland Howard appeared on the early Melbourne punk scene like a phantom out of Kafkaesque Prague or Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Despite the trials and tribulations of his career, in an age of makeover and reinvention, Rowland Howard never ‘sold out’. With recent and moving interviews, archival interviews and other fascinating and original footage, AUTOLUMINESCENT traces the life of Rowland S Howard. Capturing moments with the man himself and intimate missives from those who knew him behind closed doors; words and images etch light into what has always been the mysterious dark.

The wonderful folks from the Classic Cinema are offering our subcreibers a chance to be a part of the audience for the preview on the 28th of October so make sure that you stay tuned to find out how to win. Roland played one of his final shows at the Prince Bandroom with many desribing it as quite the magical evening.
