<p><strong>This film began life as a &lsquo;making of' and snowballed into a testament to an era. </strong> <em></em></p>

<p><em>Dogs in Space </em>director Richard Lowenstein has gathered a who's who of Melbourne's underground music scene, some glorious archival material and woven them into a remarkable retro romp.</p>

<p>With candor and wit, Rowland S. Howard, the Primitive Calculators, Ollie Olsen, Phillip Brophy and many others proffer their recollections and air their animosities in a tribute to those seminal times. The Crystal Ballroom, the little bands, the Boys Next Door, drugs, fashion, sharehousing and a previously unseen interview with Michael Hutchence. All this and the making of an Australian cult classic.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Tell me there's gonna be a difference between Nick Cave and Duran Duran&hellip; There just isn't.&rdquo; - Stuart Grant from The Primitive Calculators</p>
