The story of Lanfranchi’s is told through ex-residents such as Lucas Abela; an experimental musician who plays amplified sheets of broken glass with his mouth. A show he developed at Lanfranchi’s and has since performed in more than 40 countries. Others soon to be displaced include Dorkbot; a community of electrical engineering artists, the bastard cover band Winner, experimental theatre-comedy group Cab Sav and the Marrickville Jelly Wrestling Federation.
Despite the impending eviction, the parties roll on during the final days of Lanfranchi’s, until the building’s owners and police intervene. But with no replacement, and with Sydney’s vibrant underground art communities fractured, where will the city breed its cultural DNA?
Lanfranchi’s Memorial Discotheque is a guerrilla-style documentary and the directorial debut from Richard Baron. Produced over 2 ˝ years, Richard shot, edited and mixed the feature with no funding or assistance from production companies. The documentary is a testament to the creative talent of Sydney’s artists, musicians and performers.
