Dialogues Between Past, Present and Future
These works put the past in conversation with both the present and the future, exploring recur-ring themes throughout different temporalities, often using first person narration or an en-gagement with archival materials.
Everything Worthwhile is Done with Other People
Committed to the practice of collaboration, these three works embody a process of filmmaking foregrounded in the poetics of listening and sharing, and offer a generous space for the distillation of lived experiences.
For the Haunted and Possessed
Horror can reveal the insidious impositions afflicting society, ecology, geopolitical relations and our very bodies. The supernatural and occult can be a tangible force, bringing these oppressions into focus and directing us towards acts of resistance.
Gush
Fox Maxy’s feature debut is a lively, rhythmic journey, utilising images from the filmmaker’s personal archives created over a nearly ten-year period.
It Can’t Be That Nothing That Can Be Returned
In this digitally rendered speculative future, the dead from the war on Ukraine are given the choice to live again – to reckon with past trauma.
Mangosteen
Beginning at a mangosteen juice factory on the east coast of the gulf of Thailand, we follow brother and sister duo Earth and Ink as their interior worlds reach out to meet one another.
Room in a Crowd
“Sound was the only thing that could travel.” The four works in this screening employ poetry and polyvocality as strategies for engaging with highly specific, politically charged subject matter.
The Land is the Living Witness
How does land attest to colonial histories, liberation struggles and migration routes? These films consider the politics of space, and trace the journeys of people and objects across it.
