About this Event

Join us in celebrating the opening of Neon exhibition in slq Gallery with a curated selection of iconic cult neon centric films screening at State Library each month throughout the exhibition duration.

"Released in 1982, Tron was a groundbreaking film that pushed the possibility boundaries in the world of cinema. Directed by Steven Lisberger and produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the movie brought to life a world inside a computer, a concept that was nothing short of mind-blowing at the time.

The film starred Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer who is transported into the digital realm, where he must battle the tyrannical MCP (Master Control Program) and its army of 'programs.' The visuals were ahead of their time, with stunning neon landscapes, wicked-fast light cycles, battle tanks that supremely amplified the Atari 2600 Tank-Battle experience, and frisbee-like discs that added a unique and immersive dimension to the film."
