Poster, performance (film), Newcastle College of Advanced Education, 1978
DescriptionThis professionally printed poster with handwritten annotations promoted a showing of the film "performance", a crime drama starring James Fox and Mick Jagger, directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg. There was controversy about this film due to graphic violence and sexual content.
It was shown at the Griffith Duncan Theatre at the Newcastle College of Advanced Education, prior to its amalgamation with the University of Newcastle in 1989. The Hunter Block where the Theatre was housed was closed down in 2021 due to concerns about asbestos and other structural issues.
M.A.P.S. (Mail and Printing Services) Litho Pty. Ltd. was a printing company in Sydney, which started in 1967 before deregistration in 2009. However, it ceased making film posters during the 1980s.
