	LEON SCHUSTER: Schuks Shabalala's Survival Guide to South Africa (2010) Director: Gray Hofmeyr Cast: Leon Schuster and Alfred Ntombela Long before Ashton Kutcher’s Punk’d, Leon Schuster – the most successful South African filmmaker in history – established himself as a pioneer in the fields of candid camera and reality television. Tribal Theatre is proud to present the Australian premiere of “Schuks Shabalala's Survival Guide to South Africa”. This brand new (and politically incorrect) feature was filmed during the recent Soccer World Cup. Soccer fans, politicians and celebrities become the victims of several hilarious pranks, while Schuster becomes the victim of several physical assaults. If you loved Jack Ass, this film is not to be missed! Our favourite scene: Mr Schuster and his vertically challenged mate is employed by the South African government to measure the volume of people’s Vuvuzelas and to shorten them with a chainsaw as required “by law” (which does not go down too well with everyone). Screening 7 to 20 October 2010 Tickets can be pre-purchased from 23 September 2010 Adults: $12 Concession: $8
	American: The Bill Hicks Story Director: Matt Harlock & Paul Thomas "an immerse, inventive delve into the life of a stand up visionary" Empire "hysterically funny and deeply moving" Daily Mirror "A brilliant and beguiling film" Esquire “Bill Hicks – blowtorch, excavator, truthsayer, and brain specialist. He will correct your vision. Others will drive on the road he built.” Tom Waits “An inspired and inspiring truth teller, dangerous and brave and scary,all at once.” Richard Pryor Three years in the making, AMERICAN: The Bill Hicks Story brings the tale of one of modern culture’s most iconic heroes to the big screen. Much more than a comedian, Bill Hicks was and still is an inspiration to millions. His timeless comedy tackled the contradictions of America and modern life head on. But his unique gift was to tease apart the essence of religion, the dangers of unbridled government power and the double standards inherent in much of modern society, using nothing but his hilarious ideas and the uncompromising observational style that continues to resonate with successive generations. Like many who have a strong sense of their place in history, Hicks left a large unseen legacy; his collection of video recordings and hundreds of photographs and these became the starting point for this feature-length animated documentary.
