The BAck doOR @ suek-artist

658 Plenty Road, Preston, Melbourne
(entrance off back lane)
catch the 86 tram to stop 52

This programme brings back focus to the use of the Super-8 gauge in film practice with a presentation of a collection of Australian experimental Super-8 film, most of which have not been publicly screened before. Still preferred by many, Super-8 has been a favoured gauge internationally by such greats as Derek Jarman, as well as by well-known and significant makers of avant-garde and experimental film, such as Anthony McCall, Carolee Schneemann, and John Maybury. Australia itself has seen many of its productive artists using Super-8 and a number of Super-8 film groups come and go. Today Super-8 is still used by a number of practitioners.

Curated by Richard Tuohy.

Following on from the day’s Super-8 Pinhole Workshop happening at The BAck doOR the programme will present the work filmed that day, hot from the processing tub, prior to the official screening of the S8 28 S8 programme.

Door opens at 8:00pm. Entry by donation.

(please note: warm clothing may be needed if the night is cool)

MULTIPLE MONO – this Friday Sept 26 at First Site gallery

Within Earshot presents a closing night concert to mark the end of their residency at First Site Gallery. Clearing all remnants of the exhibited sound installations, Within Earshot members and invited guests will occupy the many empty spaces of First Site Gallery, bringing with them only one sound out-put to create an interaction of sound fields with varying complexity. Sound sources will vary from acoustic to electronic.

Through movement, audiences have the ability to tune in/tune out to multiple sound sources, forge spatial relationships and find interesting dynamic relationships between all players.

Audience members will indeterminately choose various interchanging leaders for the duration of the concert. With every change in leader, a new structure of play is imposed.

Marco Cher-Gibard
Martin Kay
Vijay Thillaimuthu

OUTPOST 17-19 SEPTEMBER 2008

Join new media arts collective OUTPOST for a free open jam and workshop. The collective are accomplished sound engineers, musicians and artists who work with the mediums of film, video and audio. In this workshop OUTPOST will take the exhibition of local visual artist Vera Möller and use her work as stimulus to create new audio and visual work projected on to the walls of the space. Participants are invited to bring their own video footage, mp3 players, synthesisers, samplers and any other noise making device and a laptop to process the sounds and images live. Alternatively those without their own gear are welcome to come along for the experience. The OUTPOST crew will be there to provide a flavour of what a live audio visual jam looks, sounds, and feels like and there will be an opportunity for them to talk through the hardware and software they use over a drink on the night.

WHEN: 7PM 17, 18, 19 September
