HORI SMOKU SAILER JERRY_RSVP0513.jpegThis Tuesday May 7th, Curious Film takes its Pop Up Cinema Rockabilly Rumarama to Auckland in further celebration of its Australasian release of Hori Smoku, a documentary on the life and times of world-renowned tattooist Norman Collins, aka Sailor Jerry.

Says Peter Grasse, Curious Film: “I’m so friggin excited to bring this event to Auckland. You asked for it and we listened. This is going to be one hell of a rockin party.”

Norman Collins built his reputation in the crucible of tattoo arts, Hotel Street, Honolulu. It was a place crowded with sailors, soldiers and roughnecks. Every man here was one step away from an adventure that would define the rest of his life and tattoos were a rite of passage. Through archived footage and interviews with the men that lived it, Hori Smoku brings you to the centre of the mayhem.

Screening starts at 7:15pm at The Nathan Club in Britomart. Party pops into full gear at 8 o’clock. Please RSVP: rsvpnz@curiousfilm.com. To know what you’re in for check out the Sydney and Melbourne Bash here;
