Directed by Phillip Noyce as one of his earliest experiments, GOOD AFTERNOON captures the 1971 Aquarius Arts Festival in Canberra in full psychedelic overload.
Using two screens, layered sound and a roving camera, it documents ten thousand people doing their own thing – performing, protesting, celebrating, improvising. Less a documentary than a sensory jolt, it immerses the viewer in colour, energy and chaos. Funded by the Australian Union of Students, it remains a landmark in radical Australian filmmaking.
