Spit

Join us Wednesday, 5 March, from 6:00 pm for a special live-in-cinema Q&A screening with the film's lead actor, David Wenham, followed by the 6.30pm session at Luna Cinemas, Leederville.

Twenty-three years after the release of the cult classic Australian film, Gettin’ Square, that film’s iconic character Johnny Spitieri (aka Johnny Spit) returns to the screen, played once again by David Wenham.

While an entirely new story, Spit brings together many of the actors and key behind-the-scenes creatives from Gettin’ Square to bring this modern-day Australian comedy to life. 

After 20 years on the run overseas, small-time ex-criminal Johnny Spitieri (Spit) slips back into Australia on a false passport only to find himself locked up in an Immigration Detention Centre with a massive target on his back as old enemies come looking for him, determined to settle old scores. As he struggles to stay one step ahead, the resourceful Spit finds new friends in detention, teaching them his version of mateship, and what it means to be truly Australian.
