Melbourne Independent Filmmakers A Retrospective 50 years of underground filmmaking in Melbournecurated by Bill Mousoulis. Forget yr Harvie Krumpets and Cannes awards, yr silly comedies and romantic comedies, and yr one-joke short films, the real action in the Melbourne filmmaking scene over the years has been with a bevy of iconoclastic, visionary filmmakers working away passionately, with hardly any money, and yet producing a stack of work that has imagination and integrity, and will undoubtedly stand the test of time.From the solitary, other-worldly (literally, having arrived on a ship with other migrants) Giorgio Mangiamele in the ‘50s, Melbourne has produced many underground filmmakers that only occasionally get the recognition they deserve. This retrospective draws together a major slab of that work, with full-session profiles of John Cumming, Michael Lee and Chris Windmill, and two other sessions compiling films from a variety of people. For full profiles on all these filmmakers, check out the “Melbourne Independent Filmmakers” website. www.innersense.com.au/mif. |
