….describes
a ride on a motorbike with 2 DV cameras; it is the attempt to portray
the 360° view on the lateral plane…not having to turn around.
Peter Lane, Who
Ever You Are, Super-8 film, 12 mins 30 secs, 1996.

little parts of the world, quiet little missions take place for the

of the great udd war.

Chris Windmill,
Postcode, Super-8 telecine,
2 mins, '97-98/2000.
This
was for the Super 8 postcode project from many years ago. It took many
years to get around to finishing because this is the Darwin way. Pinry
started making it, then it got a bit hot so she had to return indoors
and leave me to finish it.
Nick Ostrovskis, Melbournesque,
Super-8 film, 5 mins, 1989.
A landscape
film. A man hosing off the Yarra heliport is the main star. The Melbourne
Coca Cola clock also stars, as does a smelly black chemical fire in
Footscray. 5 years in the making.

Rudd, Homey,

A homey walks down the street ...
Victoria Armytage,
Rhythm and Shoes go to the Beach,
Super-8 film, 3 mins, 2003.
Abstract view of the narrative, presented as the mind's eye which is
not neccessarily the reality of the situation. The film is based on
the idea that when you are dying, one happy moment plays before your
eyes.
Jean-Gabriel P'eriot,
(France), 21 04
02, video, 9 mins 22 secs, 2002.
The
21st of April 2002 was the day of the first round of the
presidential elections. The two candidates chosen by french people for
the 2nd round were right wing Jacques Chirac, and fascist,
homophobe and racist Jean-Marie Le Pen. When the results were announced,
I was overwhelmed by so many emotions; where I had lived, what I had
done, and above all, what I had not done, and how I too was responsible
for this outcome - an irretrievable turning point. One of those very
few moments when one feels that one is really living history. But unfortunately,
history at its blackest. The film tries to answer those moments - my
answer to the deep existential crisis that I then went through: how
to keep on going, how to fight, how to exist as an artist today, how
to (simply)….

Shane Lyons, Saving
Private Ryan, Super-8 film, 7 mins, 30 secs, 1998.
As I began
editing together this "random" compilation of previously discarded footage
left over from test shoots, faulty cameras and lab stuff-ups, I decided
to give it the title of whatever film was #1 at the Melbourne box office
the day I finished. The Spielberg film was it. (Actually it had dropped
to #2 but I thought it was a better title than Antz).
Bernard O'Connor,
The Conversion, 16mm telecine,
9 mins, 1998.
A
young outer-suburban-door-knocking preacher questions righteousness.
Bernard O'Connor,
Gone Away, Super-8 telecine, 3
mins, 2000.
A short, dark tale
of the ghost of someone dear influencing a decision to stay, or go.
Kristian Brennan,
Getting to know the rest of me,
Super-8 film, 3 mins, '74/'03.
It is confusing
having a lot of information inside your head. Everything really is happening
at the same time. I do not know what it is I am like. I do not know
what I like.
Brendan Harraghy,
An Episode in Co-existence...part 2,
video, 8 mins, 25 secs, 2003.
A set of
pictures taken from an exhibition which was set up on a PC. These pictures
represent a certain time in my immediate memory.
