Arid Visions REFLECTIONS IN THE DUST, GENDERED VIOLENCE AND EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA
It’s not a big surprise that a film like Reflections in the Dust (Luke Sullivan, 2018) might court controversy. In an era of monolithic mega-blockbusters, a micro-budget slice of arthouse Australiana demands some kind of hook to pierce the bubble of

A SCHOOL OF Fishers Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries and the Lineage of a Franchise
It starts with a wide shot of a department store. Looking at it, it’s hard to tell what era we’re in. The building has Art Deco details, but the people are too far away, too small for us to use fashion as an indicator. Then there’s a close-up of a pa

WORKING-CLASS HEROES ABC’s The Heights and Social Stratification
Arcadia Heights isn’t really supposed to be anywhere in particular. Like Ramsay Street, Summer Bay and Wandin Valley before it, it doesn’t represent a real place, but more an idea of a place. Just as Neighbours plays out in a typical suburban street,

Kiss Me Deadly
You can certainly feel the heat, sweat and blood seeping through Burning Kiss (2018), writer/director Robbie Studsor’s sexy, surreal self-pegged ‘summer noir’. For a low-budget independent feature debut shot in Perth, it’s an impressive feat. Essenti

Art as Resistance History and the Individual in Jafar Panahi’s 3 Faces
The history of cinema is one defined by the tension between possibility and constraint: constraint, because filmmaking has so often wrestled with serious limitations, be they technical, commercial or political; and possibility, because, in the face o

Moving Forward in Circles Repetition and Reflection in Hong Sang-soo’s Grass
In a second-floor room, a young woman picks up her phone from a table and swipes at the screen, as though willing an expected text or call to arrive. She diverts her attention to the window, where she stands on tiptoes, craning her neck. Anticipation
