Share This:

GRAMMY® Award winning, acclaimed singer-songwriter and Smashing Pumpkins frontman, William Patrick Corgan today announced Pillbox, a silent film set to music from his highly-acclaimed Rick Rubin produced solo album Ogilala, will screen at Sydney’s Golden Age Cinema in a one-off intimate screening on Friday, October 24 at 5.30pm.

Tickets are strictly limited and can be purchased HERE. Fans who attend the screenings will receive a limited edition movie poster. Corgan recently shared the film’s official trailer which can be seen HERE.

“I thought it was a different approach to listening to an album, to watch it in essence with a related, albeit non-linear, silent movie. Art is art. And together the two pieces create a work unto itself,” shared Corgan on the film’s connection to his new album.
