1UP Microcinema

Here are some pics from an art installation called 1UP Microcinema, which was a bunch of experimental films exhibited on old game consoles in a Perth clothing shop put on by a guy called Matthew Darch.



This what he said 'Thank you so much for allowing me to screen your film at 1UP. It was very well received here in Perth and people enjoyed sitting down and watching it.

Attached are some pics of the place at the moment, just to give you an idea of my setup. I screened your film on the dual racing car with wireless headphones. "



I didn't get a link to the event and I'm not sure when it actually took place but here are a couple of links attached to his email.

The interesting thing that I'm finding with this film is the interpretation of what it is? This is the second time (at least) it's taken place in an event as experimental art.

It's also been fairly regularly screening since it was first shown in October last year. I think it's screened 22 times at 9 different festivals and events.

Short Win

BTW. HAPR won best film at the Halloween Short Cut screening which comprised of a bottle of wine and two tickets to the Astor.
Drank the wine, need to find a good movie at the Astor before Dec 20th.

I can now add two of those wreath things to anything I do with it.

The dress up comp had more grog in prizes than the films actually.

This is Not a Film Festival

Well, I missed this one.

Got the invite while I was in Sydney but anyway, it played on November the 9th.

HAUSTRALIAWEEN

The film is playing at The Workers Club, corner of Brunswick and Gertrude streets, Fitzroy, at an event called Haustraliaween, tomorrow, Sunday night. It will play after the last band around 11.30pm.

Sounds fun but I can't go cos I'm in Canberra.

I haven't met the person who asked for the film so it seems to be having it's own life.

SkyNoise

Here's some publicity I didn't know about on Skynoise. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

World War Gay

Also hailing from Melbourne’s Silent Army era (it’s comic veteran day at skynoise), Clint Cure ( Q-Ray) and Kieran Mangan are in the midst of raising funds to produce a short video series for the web. Loosely framed as a John Waters meets John Carpenter / sci-fi / action adventure about the development of an anti-gay serum, at time of writing they’ve raised $426 of their modest $1000 goal. Says Kieran: “Why does a film cost $3 million? Well, I know why, but I also know it doesn’t have to. ” And something that may increase or decrease your likelihood of offering some small support – Clint recently finished a short zombie remake : ‘Hanging at Picnic Rock’. And interestingly, this fundraising is all powered by the new Australian micro-fundraising site Fundbreak, an Australian version of kickstarter.

Hanging at Halloween

As part of their Halloween night on the 28th of October, Short Cut Short Films is screening Hanging at Picnic Rock.

I wonder what else they are playing? 

I'll be giving a talk beforehand apparently.
