Goldfish Lightbulb
a film by Richard Munro
Production Format: 16mm colour
Duration: 7:00
Sound: Richard Munro A film focused on two unnamed characters, a boy, and a girl. It is unclear how they may or may not know each other. They go about their own lives each day, seemingly always crossing paths or seeing each other from a distance.
The approach to filming and editing was to capture people’s movements, somehow akin to a school of fish, or a large group of aquatic creatures. The only faces that are shown prominently are those of the two main characters. So, from the film’s point of view, we are to consider what special, specific connection they may have amongst all the other people that float in and out of the film.
As well as literally focusing on the visual patterns and textures of underwater creatures, the film also focuses on the patterns of colour and light. The idea of the “lightbulb” in the title relates to being powered or focusing on some system of electrical signals and connections. Having a “lightbulb moment” reflects gaining a certain clarity or a new perspective on some certain situation. Inversley, having “the memory of a goldfish”, usually refers to someone being forgetful, in this case, it refers to constantly being reorientated and repeatedly seeing the world in a new light, discovering one’s place in relation to a flurry of abstract stimuli.
The Moment of Air Before A Whisper
a film by Melody Woodnutt
Production Format: 16mm colour
Duration: 3:19
Sound: Melody Woodnutt 'The Moment of Air Before a Whisper' turns on a sense, feeling a whisper, Hitchcock's spell meets a philosophical 'turn'. The film levitates through the threshold. Ravens call out at the point of anagnorisis: the moment of a plot in which ignorance shifts into knowledge. Typically in theatre or film the protagonist makes a critical discovery whereupon the audience shares their experience of shock, catharsis, enthralment, or a deep realisation as to the true nature of the afore upheld circumstances that have now fallen away. The 'turn' of this sort is found in Aristotle, narrative, horror, and especially Hitchcock's films. Screened with The Wandering Room for the Melbourne Fringe, Nov 2020.

Specular
a film by Veronica Charmont Year: 2019
Production Format: 16mm B/W
Duration: 6:00 A fascination with celluloid films own reflective properties, where images from life are reflected through the camera lens and imprinted onto the film strip. A reminder of the way in which sunlight allows images to appear onto surfaces such as water or glass. Though these things can all be easily explained through science, their appearance is other wordly, seeming to materialise from somewhere unknown. Therefore throughout the film the role of reflections directly influences the movements and experiences of two unknown women, where it is becomes apparent that it is they themselves who are reflecting each other.

Duration: 15:27
Sound: The Scrapes Apparitions of otherworlds and obscure characters lost somewhere amidst the heart. It grapples with philosophy, theology, society, death and relationships through gothic dream spaces.... Through its visual poetics it draws from concepts of bodies, subversive iconography, layered but non-linear allegory/multiplicity of metaphor, and the occult of nature via place based research. It becomes a Pagan-Western fever dream of social commentary and neo-gothicisms for a world of human /non-human symbiosis which undermines patriarchal theology. An allegory spanning 2 years research in the field and a culmination of ideas absorbed while living in Iceland for 8 years on and off.

A Version of Us
a film by Helen Nias Year: 2011
Production Format: 16mm
Duration: 3:00 A Version of Us explores how we perceive captured images of our life as “memories”. This film was made at Nanolab in Daylesford, Australia, with support from Richard Tuohy at a very early AFW worksohp. Helen often animates paper photograms in her short films, so the workshop was the perfect opportunity to adapt this process to 16mm film. The images in the film originally derived from analogue video 8 footage of Helen and her siblings, shot by the their father during their childhood in the 90s. Sections of the images were worked on photoshop into 16mm still image strips and printed on paper with a normal ink-jet printer. These sheets of paper were then 'rayogrammed' onto raw film in the dark room.
