Alternative Views: International Experimental Film

Presented by Container Film Society in partnership with the Institute of Modern Art

New Farm Cinemas: Tue 19 May, 7 PM.

A counter history of filmmaking in Australia. Whether tracked by funding bodies or word of mouth, there is a clear trail connecting films made by local production companies or filmmakers to Australia and its filmmaking history. However, there are filmmakers who touch the ground more lightly—whether with Jodie Mack refracting Palm Beach’s glistening water while touring her breakthrough Let Your Light Shine program or Malena Szlam’s multi-year research program which also culminated in a three-channel work. This screening reflects on this alternative history and its distinct engagement with our environment by bringing together key recent works.
