It's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a  for American Cinematheque's third annual Mods & Rockers Film Festival.

NEW 'JULIET': Federico Fellini's first color film, ``Juliet of the Spirits,'' is being shown with a new 35mm restored print with newly translated subtitles today through Thursday at the Landmark Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills.

The 1965 film, seen by many as the counterpoint to Fellini's autobiographical ``8 1/2,'' centers on a woman who fears her husband is cheating on her. Fellini cast his wife, Giulietta Masina, in the title role and they reportedly had heated arguments on the set when he told her to play herself, yet he called ``Juliet'' ``the least biographical of all my films - my wife just happens to be in it.''

Landmark says the restored print, struck from the original negative, makes the most of Fellini's rich color palette used in fantasy sequences.

The Fine Arts Theatre is at 8556 Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills. Information: (310) 652-1330.

THRIFT CELEBRATED: Amid all the noise about the huge budget of ``Pearl Harbor,'' a little series of works by actor/writer/director Jon Jacobs is a mere whisper.

A retrospective of six Jacobs films - the whole lot made between 1996 and 2000 for just under $2.1 million - opens at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in West Hollywood.

First in the weekend morning series is the premiere of his latest, ``The Wooden Gun,'' described as a ``heartfelt, no-budget western.''

Jacobs has made more than two dozen films, each for about the same price as one day's cast-and-crew lunch on a Jerry Bruckheimer set, following philosophies and techniques espoused in such books as ``How to Make a Movie for the Price of a Used Car'' and ``How I Made 100 Movies and Never Lost a Dime.''

The Sunset 5 is at 8000 W. Sunset Blvd. Information: (323) 848-3500.
