hey all, if you're free on wednesday the 11th of october this looks like a
cool (and free!) event to go to
the filmmakers are all Indigenous, and two of the four are wom*n.. please support this event which gives otherwise marginalised and oppressed groups a
forum for their voices to be heard.
peace out
Indigenous films by upcoming Australian filmmakers screened October 11 at the Chauvel cinema 6pm, free.
Each year Metro Screen runs the Indigenous Lester Bostock scheme giving four indigenous filmmakers the opportunity to produce their first short film. Each filmmaker is provided with equipment, facilities hire, stock and post-production as well as a $2,000 budget and an industry mentor to help guide them through the process.
"Aboriginal people have been master story tellers since the dreamtime, the chance to tell our stories on film is just an extension of our oral story telling history," previous participant Melissa Abrahams.
On October 11 at the Chauvel cinema Paddington from 6pm the 2006 participants will screen their short films for the first time. This is a free event and open to the public.
Films screening include:
BLACK BEACH: A fast paced, satirical look at beach access, rites of passage and ownership from the perspective of an Aboriginal and mischievously spirited surfer. Director: Grant Leigh Saunders.
REFLECTIONS IN BLACK AND WHITE: Depicts an Aboriginal girl's taboo questioning of her identity. The more she questions her Aboriginality and the more her questioning is avoided the more the truth makes sense.
Director: Elizabeth Paavola.
SUSAN¹S BIRTHDAY PARTY: From her first day at school Susan is thrown into the painful dilemma of thinking she has to choose between the acceptances of her disbelieving school friends or defiantly claiming her ³Goori² identity.
Director: Maureen Logan.
FUTUREMAN: This FUTUREMAN short starts in 1968. Jimmie Barker tribal leader of the Muruwari’s located in northern N.S.W hears a voice from the sky, which announces himself as Z-FORCE. With a lightning crack and Z’ scorched into the ground, Z-FORCE gives Jimmie advice of the saviour to come.
Director: Adam Wade
