A outrageously diverse and imaginative session of films made by talented female directors. What woman wouldn’t make a film about seductive monks or a serial killer wedding?
Films screening as a part of the MOTHER’S MILK session:
UNTITLED Vivienne Linsley / 2010 / Australia Through bouncing between dying and new technologies such as photography, 16mm, VHS and digital I am aiming to focus on erosion and degradation both sculpturally and symbolically. The cycle in which both the body and technology inevitably falls victim to.
WHITE MONKS Vera Freitag / 2010 / USA/Switzerland The music video White Monks is inspired by Milk67’s electronic beats. It visually narrates the story of a boy being set up by a mysterious girl, who he follows into a monastery. There he’s seduced by a group of monks who make him part of their ritual.
THE CRIMSON WAVE Terri Matthews / 2009 / UK How to ride the crimson wave is a well-kept secret. A short animation about seeking mum’s advice on periods.
MASS ORNAMENT Natalie Bookchin / 2009 / USA Mass Ornament choreographs hundreds of YouTube dance videos to create a dazzling artwork that also questions contemporary isolation and connection via screens, cameras and technology.
JACOB Dena Curtis / 2009 / Australia> Gina, a young Aboriginal mother, finds herself in a predicament when her husband Max returns home and learns the truth about baby Jacob.
LUCKY GIRL Australian premiere Alexandra Grimanis / 2009 / Canada Lucky Girl recalls a seemingly insignificant moment which could have turned out very differently.
FRANCES AND ANNIE Genevieve Clay / 2009 / Australia When a young woman drops by to greet her new neighbours, her preconceptions of who is responsible for a horrendous tragedy hinges on a face and a note.
LIVELY, LOVELY (AND THE REST) Eve Gordon / 2007 / New Zealand A musical about a lovely pair of legs. Lively, Lovely (and the rest) is a modern take on musical cinema of the 1930’s. Sewing machine holes dart and dive through the stop motion mid-air dancing legs.
RAPTURE Angelica Mesiti / 2009 / Australia Filmed from a concealed position beneath the stage at a spectator event, the camera looks out at a sea of ecstatic young faces. Rapture depicts the joy of being alive while also hinting at the darker aspects of religious emotion.
HYBRISTO HONEYMOONERS Victoria Waghorn / 2009 / Australia Why should serial killers be exempt from wedded bliss? Love is pain. Especially in hell.
THE STORYMAKER Emma Rozanski / 2009 / Australia A dark fable about a woman who kills herself with her imagination. Unfolding over the last day in her life, this window into her world tells of an age of imagining. A sinister allegory of creative freedom versus a commercial arts industry.
