Films screening as a part of the RECYCLED CINEMA session:
HER SUGAR IS? Australian Premiere Dana Claxton / 2009 / Canada A playful burlesque performance peels away layers of history to reveal a persuasive and thought-provoking dance that informs as much as it delights.
TRUE HEART SUSIE Australian Premiere Jean-Baptiste Lenglet / 2009 / France A conceptual video on the history of cinema. The original 1919 D.W Griffith movie is re-edited so that only the intertitles remain.
GIRL ON FIRE Australian Premiere Tony Lawrence / 2010 / Australia This found footage of 8mm film has been hauntingly affected by time and localised oxidation.
MONSIGNOR BLOOD Australian Premiere Tony Lawrence / 2010 / Australia 8mm and 16mm home movies from Mexico, Spain, Italy, Africa and America are merged with the hypnotic electronica of Galaxy Fuzz Band.
IT’S A SMALL WORLDAxel Roessler / 2009 / Germany/USA A bleached out trip to the past, inspired by an old polaroid photo album found at the Melrose Trading Post flea market, Los Angeles.
PHOTOGRAPH OF JESUS Laurie Hill / 2008 / UK Looking for photographs of Jesus, yetis and Hitler in 1948? Real-life archives become the stage where fact and fiction collide, belief runs amok and unruly images have a life of their own.
FILM, EARTH WIND FIRE Editor: Richard Van Der Male / 2009 / Australia Created by 12 experimental filmmakers over a single weekend, the film uses physically re-engineered cinema adverts to explore and discover new emotions in the everyday world of advertising.
STRIPS Félix Dufour-Laperrière / 2009 / France A vintage erotic film is cut into strips and reassembled. A playful, colourful look at what is shown and hidden in the image.
MY MEDS Natalie Bookchin / 2009 / USA This work combines found youtube videos and unites various people from around the world who take similar types of medications.
LAID OFF Natalie Bookchin / 2009 / USA Using found videos from youtube, this is an astonishing testament to the intimacy and candid conversations presented to unsuspecting cyber audience.
I AM NOT Natalie Bookchin / 2009 / USA This fascinating work is made up of fragments from online video diaries of people proclaiming personal details about themselves, particularly about their sexual orientation.
AFTER THE RAINBOW Soda_Jerk / 2010 / Australia After the Rainbow investigates the temporal dimensions of cinema through a re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz (1939). Here, the twister transports a young, hopeful Judy Garland into the future where she encounters her disillusioned adult self.
AT HOME WITH THE ANTS Jill Kennedy / 2009 / New Zealand The 3rd instalment from Jill’s New Educational Series – images from second-hand books are collaged into fantastical environments where the old-school aesthetic is reinvigorated with stop-motion techniques and sweeping movements of the camera.
THE OLD HOUSE Kathleen Lee / 2009 / Australia Set in and about an old tumbled down house this autobiographical film depicts the early memories of a young girl. An insight into the nature of memory and the surprisingly complex mind of a small child.
SELF IMPROVEMENT Clint Enns / 2010 / USA A self help video that rests somewhere between the realms of code hacking, archaic design and spiritual awakening.
CHARADES Australian Premiere Ann Steuernagel / USA / 2009 Created in reaction to public policies such as ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and the US ‘Defense of Marriage Act’, charades which deny gay and lesbian people their equal rights.
