Turning the world upside down and inside out one cane toad, extra-terrestrial, and decaying mermaid at a time.
Films screening as a part of the MONDO BIZARRO session:
TIPPING POINT Australian Premiere Josephine Starrs & Leon Cmielewski / 2009 / Australia A degraded riverbed landscape edited with footage of a cane toad. The piece illustrates the well-known fable of the boiling frog – a clear parallel to our current situation with human beings and global warming.
AWKWARD FIRST CONTACT Clifton Schulke / 2010 / Australia Roswell, New Mexico is known as the site of human’s first contact with extra terrestrials. While numerous first contact stories abound, few know the truth of that day. For the first time in human history, here is what really happened.
THE MERMAID Oscar Molinaro / 2010 / Australia A shipwrecked sailor cut off from human contact comes upon the body of a dying mermaid. Isolated from society he satisfies base urges.
PISS FILM Clare Ferra / 2010 / Australia A love story about two freaks, their fish, a baby and some dolls.
JADE Australian Premiere Daniel Elliott / 2009 / UK Jade, caught in a dilemma of her own making, struggles to choose the right path. It becomes apparent to her, though, that she may have no choice at all.
ROBOTIC PANIC Australian Premiere Justin Crooks / 2010 / Australia Alex is a little bit uncomfortable with robots. They are supposed to be safe and have love for mankind. When Alex meets R591, a real robot, he discovers that maybe robots love man too much.
CELL PHUONG Cesar Espada / 2009 / Spain Two men are waiting and talking outside a hotel. Gradually we understand what they are really doing and why they are recording everything with a cell phone.
AWKWARD Kellie Ann Benz / 2009 / USA A dinner party conversation takes an unexpected turn in this study of social decorum.
BROKEN Christian Doran / 2010 / Australia A man wakes up in a backwards world that he must walk forwards through alone. An anxious friend, a trail of blood and the horrible truth he must learn – everyone has their breaking point.
THE PACKAGE Oliver Waghorn / 2009 / Australia The Package is a film about Dave and Lisa, a fight, and a mysterious package.
THE MOTH Australian Premiere Campbell Farquhar / 2007 / New Zealand A tale of sleeplessness told with animation, dance and painted light.

DEPARTURE Atanas Djonov / 2009 / Australia A train is depicted leaving a small country town to the lyrics of the Australian national anthem and the music of Greensleeves, a traditional English folk song.
