- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 08:50 am
- **Event Description**: MEET THE FILMMAKER: Tuesday March 3, 6:50pm. Join Reg Mombassa and Pete O'Doherty from Australian band Mental As Anything and producer Carolina Sorensen live in-cinema for a post-screening Q&amp;A after the Melbourne Premiere of their documentary.

Celebrating Australian pop-rock and new wave icons Mental As Anything, LIVE IT UP: THE MENTAL AS ANYTHING STORY is a new feature documentary exploring the art-school band, whose irreverent humour, visual art, and clever pop songs made them one of Australia’s most distinctive cultural forces.

Following the release of Nips Are Getting Bigger in 1979, the Mentals rose quickly from inner-city Sydney pubs to national fame, becoming masters at capturing Australian suburban life with warmth, wit and playfulness. While success came fast, they never treated it with reverence. Funny, warm and unexpectedly moving, LIVE IT UP explores how Mental As Anything navigated fame, longevity, and the pressures of the music industry while holding fast to their humour and creative spirit — revealing why their music continues to resonate today.
