SESSION 3: FRIDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 10:30 – 12AM (FUSEBOX)
A UNIQUE PROGRAM OF ARTISTIC AND INNOVATIVE FILMS THAT INTERSECT NARRATIVE WITH MATERIALITY
Light/Strike (an open window) WORLD PREMIERE
AUS / 2008 / 4 mins / dir. Geoffrey Weary
Light/Strike is one of a series of short works created and recorded with the use of an original Sony Porta-Pak camera system, circa 1975. The unique properties of the camera render the subject matter of the film as a fragile, vaporous presence.
Cloth Birds
UK / 2008 / 3:35mins / dir. David Firth
Firth decided to make the most of the fact that his room was crawling with insects last summer and filmed them all close up. Music video for EVENT CHOKE by Datach’i.
The Pain with Being Thirsty AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
USA / 2007 / 6:30 mins / dir. David Yeh
Juxtaposing found footage of Japanese Internment camps in Arizona with a found letter written by Babar Ahmad (a Muslim prisoner accused of running Al-Qaeda websites and awaiting extradition to Guantanamo Bay) this film traces a connection between the way Japanese Americans were perceived during World War II and how Arabs and Arab Americans are being treated in a post-9/11 world.
Monday Morning WORLD PREMIERE
AUSTRALIA / 2007 / 2:05 mins / Editor NICHOLAS RYAN
An experimental underwater emulsion adventure.
Vessel AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
GREECE / 2007 / 30 mins / dir. ANTONIOS PAPANTONIOU
A vehicle of unknown origins. A driver of unknown purpose. A trip inside the forest’s web.
Paperhouse – The 5:19
AUST / 2008 / 4 mins / dir. Peter Newman
Free-to-air television fuses at 5:19pm
The Acrobat AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
AUS / 2008 / 6mins / dir. CHRIS KENNEDY
Inspired by a poem, the film is a consideration of the relationship of gravity and politics – the beauty and necessity of rising up, but also, perhaps the significance of allowing oneself to fall.
Who by Water AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
USA / 2007 / 18 mins / dir. BILL MORRISON
Ship passengers are depicted staring wordlessly into the camera’s lens. All of their numbers have by now been called. And in staring back at them, we contemplate our own fate.
Ayvali
AUST / 2005 / 2 mins / dir. DAVID MACKENZIE
In the first snows of winter, Ayvali a small Turkish village, is terrorised by a stray dog. Inspired by early Surrealist documentaries, Mackenzie explores the uncertain worlds of observation and documentation.
Many Buddhas AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
AUST / 2008 / 15 mins / dir. PAUL WINKLER
Impressed by the enormous variety of Buddha figures seen in South-East Asia Winkler, creates a kind of homage to the Buddha figure.
