SESSION 1: FRIDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 6:30 – 8PM (FUSE BOX)
THIS SESSION CONSISTS OF AN ECLECTIC RANGE OF ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE SHORT FILMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, RANGING FROM ROMANIAN DRAMAS TO ARCTIC CIRCLE ANIMATIONS
Crooked (orcus) Rot AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
UK / 2008 / 4:20mins / dir. David Firth
A stop-frame experiment using an SLR and strange items and toys found in his backyard, results in Firth’s rich and bizarre visually impressive short.
Dog’s Mercury AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
UK / 2006 / 23:30 mins / dir. MARTIN RADICH
Worlds collide, interactions take place. Dog’s Mercury is a microcosm of a moribund community.
Synopsis Docu-drama AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Romania / 2008 / 23:20 mins / Dir. VLAD TRANDAFIR
Marius, a film directing graduate, meets Mihai, a friend who works for a production company in Bucharest. Mihai introduces him to a friend who gets them started on directing a docu-drama.
Forest From Trees WORLD PREMIERE
AUS / 2008 / 7 mins / Dir. MATHEW ROBERTS
A minimalistic Cinéma vérité inspired piece with a hint of black comedy. Forest From Trees juxtaposes the detrimental and trivial decisions in life.
Leaving Together
AUS / 2005 / 2 mins / Dir. KATE MURPHY
Kate works within a documentary mode, creating both single and multi-channel video work. She is interested in how documentary, in its many forms, surrounds and influences us and adopts the use of multiple synchronised cameras to observe and capture her subjects.
Walking Together
AUS / 2007 / 3 mins / Dir. ATANAS DJONOV
Observational video work accompanied by “Vmeste Veselo Shagat” - a Russian children’s song from the 1970’s.
Lunch With Friends
AUS / 2007 / 3:30 mins / Dir. PETER HUMBLE
An observational video of a woman sharing her food with some friends during lunch hour in downtown Melbourne. Are we watching madness or are we mad to judge such innocence?
Ticketweavels
AUS / 2004 / 2:15 mins / Dir. CAROLINE HUF
Two Sydney train tickets weave themselves together and apart like weavels - their weaving is their undoing. It is the simulation of growth and decay and the inbuilt obsolescence of industrial society.
Light Year - A Trip Around the Sun AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
CAN / 2002 / 3 mins / dir. Dan Sokolowski
A trip around the sun which reminds us that even in a world where our lives are seemingly controlled by exterior political and economic forces, we still only exist because of a ball of fire 92.9 million miles away.
Cold on Cold AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
CAN / 2004 / 4 mins / dir. Dan Sokolowski
A meditative view of dawn from the arctic circle combining photography and painterly effects.
Stone Bruise AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
CAN / 2007 / 4 mins / dir. Dan Sokolowski
Linked by a road and a battered windshield, hand processed/tinted 16mm images flow past the viewer in an ever changing mosaic of landscape, form and colour.
