Nominated for a 2007 Academy Award, DELIVER US FROM EVIL uncovers the story of Father Oliver O’Grady, the most notorious pedophile in the history of the modern Catholic Church, who over the course of twenty years used his charm and authority to abuse dozens of children across Northern California. Following O’Grady’s incarceration and deportation, DELIVER US FROM EVIL filmmaker Amy Berg contacted him and, remarkably, persuaded him to participate in the making of her film. Using his chilling testimony as a launching point, Berg exposes the high-level corruption within the Church while attempting to understand why child abuse within this institution, still occurs today on a global scale. Most importantly, Berg encourages several of O’Grady’s victims to finally speak out, shedding much-needed light on the horrifying legacy of sexual abuse, capturing startlingly candid confessions that will break your heart. After the screening Writer / Director / Producer Amy Berg joins us via phone from New York to discuss her incredible journey making this film.

TIPPISANDRA ROAD Photography exhibit Tonight is opening night for Metro Screen tutor Tom Cowan’s photography exhibition at Gallery East 21 Burnie St Clovelly. ‘Tippisandra Road’ breathes in the energy and colour of life in the market street – caught at sunset, that magical time of day when light changes quickly… things that one moment are clear and sharp, at another have softened, dissolved. It is when light is at its most mysterious. ‘I first came into India from Pakistan at sunset… in a way this work responds to the enchantment I felt at that time’ Tom first visited India in 1968 at the invitation of Satyajit Ray, India’s greatest film director. He then met Sri Pattabhi Rama Reddy, a South Indian film producer and became his director photography on ‘SAMSKARA’, which won the prestigious President’s Award for Best Feature Film, beating Satyajit Ray’s film of that year.
