This brilliant documentary about the mysterious 1970s rock ‘n’ roller, Rodriguez, will be screened at Federal Films on Saturday.

In the early 1970s, Sixto Rodriguez was a Detroit folksinger who had a short lived recording career with only two albums. Unknown to Rodriguez, his musical story continued in South Africa, where he became a pop music icon and inspiration for generations.

In the 1990s he was rumoured there to be dead, so a few fans decided to seek out the truth of their hero’s fate. What follows is a bizarrely heartening story in which they found far more in their quest than they ever hoped, while a Detroit construction labourer discovered that his lost artistic dreams came true after all.

Saturday at Federal Hall. Dinner from 6.30pm and movie at 8pm.

The Almighty Sometimes

The Echo - 0
The Drill Hall was built in 1916 as home to the Mullumbimby Platoon of the 41st Battalion. It was later converted into a theatre in the 1970s. Over the years the interior was modified with the addition of a stage and raked seating installed in 2016. Thanks to a grant from Regional Development Australia and support from North Coast Events, AAE Industries and JC Coastal Construction, it has now been converted into a modern Black Box Theatre.
