This year’s small selections of documentaries are examinations of various cultural paradigms and examples of certain individuals and events in our culture.
Born Rich
Twenty-year old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical empire Jamie Johnson offers an authentic perspective on the lives of today’s newest trust fund kids when he turns the camera on himself and ten of his contemporaries. Born Rich provides a stunning insight into the subject that is said to be ‘just not polite to talk about’. Yep, you guessed it folks; apparently it’s just not polite these days for rich people to talk about their money. Through a series of interactions with Josiah Hornblower (Vanderbilt/Whitney heir), S.I Newhouse IV (media heir), Ivanka Trump (real estate heiress) Giorgianna Bloomburg (media heiress), Luke Weill (gaming industry heir), Cody Franchetti (textile heir), Stephanie Ercklentz (finance heiress), Carlo Von Zeitschel (European royalty), Christina Floyd (professional sports heiress) and Juliet Hartford (A&P supermarket heiress) Johnson provides a fresh perspective with characters that actually provoke emotion and sharply contrast the paddling pool shallow lifestyle of Miss. Paris ‘I’m gonna change the world now that I have a fresh perspective’ Hilton. And though some are just as vacant as the aforementioned prize winner, there are others that are sure to charm the viewer with their honestly.

No Restraint
Alison Chernick provides a rare insight into the creative process of renowned artist Matthew Barney (the Cremaster Cycle) in this ‘making of’ Drawing Restraint 9. With appearances from the magic man himself, Bjork and a ship full of Japanese whalers No Restraint provides a fascinating portrait of the artist in-vitro. Barney’s complex post-modern mythological method is explicated in a confronting torrent of images and ideas that can’t help but leave the viewer exited and intellectually simulated.

Theo Van Gogh Double -
Have a good weekend in Spite of Everything
And
May 6th
The murder of Theo Van Gogh, Dutch filmmaker and outspoken critic of Islam, tests the very limits of our tolerance in liberal society. Theo was a loved Dutch filmmaker who championed the work of feminist Muslim women (Ayaan Hirsi Ali). Theo Van Gogh was murdered for championing a work that criticised the misogyny of Islam. This fascinating doco raises many valid and confronting questions whilst providing all the facts on the case. For those viewers seeking further information on the topic I would recommend that they read “The Limits of Tolerance”, an interesting novel that explores the Van Gogh slaying. This screening will also be accompanied by a screening of the last film by Van Gogh that is about the assassination of right wing politician Pim Fortuyn.
