Disc 1: The Dancing Class S h o r t F i l m s (1962–1970) Nimmo Street (1962, 11 mins) A neo-realist drama set near the crumbling Arrow Theatre. Two street bodgies hang around near the station and try to terrorise an Italian girl. A boy tries to fight for her and is beaten up. The dry streets of Middle Park reflect the crabbed lives of the star-crossed lovers. The Dancing Class (1964, 12 mins) A self-assured, chain-smoking ballet teacher gives macho instruction to a small group of tender young ballerinas. Won the AFI’s Gold Award for Documentary, and was shown at the major Australian Film Festivals as well as winning best short at the Commonwealth Awards in Edinburgh. Signature (1966, 2 mins) A nonsense film made from off-cuts (originally called Booboo Film) as a send-up of an Ubu Film which the Ubu group accepted as a legit and indescribable experimental film. Helena of Sydney (1966, 12 mins) We spend a day and night with Helena, a Greek actress, as she tours Sydney. Most of the dialogue is in Greek, but it's easy to follow the narrative. Australia Felix (1970, 28 mins) This film is an interesting cultural, social and political document of the day (1970) - in relation to the differences between Australia and the mother country, England. Disc 2: Support Me Not S h o r t F i l m s (2000–2010) Jenny Kee – Waratah Artist (2010, 4 mins) Jenny Kee is a major Australian fashion designer. Beside her house in the Blue Mountains is a large stand of waratahs. Jenny talks about the inspirational effect on her art of these ancient flowers and how they express both her external flamboyance and her inner spiritual nature. School Photo (2005, 4 mins) Bondi Public was a very small primary school. In 4 minutes every kid comments amusingly on the good and bad of the school. Shot on the day of the school photos. Wind Section (2009, 2 mins) On a lonely road, grass dances to the wind god. Support Me Not (2009, 20 mins) This movie was made as a showcase for the immensely talented performer, Aindrias de Staic. It also stars Chris Haywood and Bonnie Caine. SCREENED - ASIA-PACIFIC FILM FESTIVAL, Taiwan. Tippisandra Road (2006, 4 mins) The energy and colour of life in an Indian market street. Filmed at sunset, that magical time of day when light changes quickly....things that one moment are clear and sharp, at another have softened, dissolved. It is when light is at its most mysterious.... |
