This event has all the constituent parts required for a good time – icecream, the screening of an Academy Award-winning film and the presence of federal Greens Senator Scott Ludlam.

Citizenfour has garnered astonished, gushing reviews wherever it has shown internationally. The searing real-time documentary from director Laura Poitras’ follows Edward Snowden as he becomes one of the best-known whistleblowers in American history.

With an introductory speech from Senator Ludlam (poster boy for a new style of politics), a smattering of live music and the presence of both food and booze, it’s hard to see how this could be a bad time.
