Tue 28 Feb 2023
Join members of Melbourne’s Artist Film Workshop as they introduce and screen their recent short films. All shot on 16mm film, these films celebrate the pleasures of working with celluloid.
The films created at the artist collective and not-for-profit organisation Artist Film Workshop (AFW) are varied and unique. This screening showcases the material subtleties and warm beauty that 16mm film offers artists the chance to explore. Both experimental and abstract traditions and personal narrative or poetic visions will be traversed.
Tickets include a drink on arrival and bookings are essential.
ACMI's ART+FILM program showcases short and feature-length films by leading Australian and international artists. With a focus on single-channel works that harness the unique conventions of cinema, the program comprises internationally significant works from the ever-expanding field of artist films.
Films
Goldfish Lightbulb (2022)
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.
Richard Munro, 16mm, colour, 6 min
Embodied Knowing (2023)
A 16mm film using in-camera multi exposure effects which was hand developed, hand edited and scored in 24 hours – thus embodying the process and collaboration of moving image artist Jordan James Kaye, sound producer Justin Malvaso and artist Maya Irving as she paints a giant canvas.
Jordan James Kaye, 16mm, black & white, 11 min 25 sec
Escape to New York (2023)
New York City is now a maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane.
