Benjamin’s work, and the

reconstruction and archival film
results in a dynamic portrait of
one of the 20th century’s most
influential thinkers.
Carolyn Howard plays a fictional
journalist pursuing investigative
political stories through actual tally
rooms and newsrooms, meeting
journalists, politicians and artists.
A provocative blend of fact and
fiction, news and disinformation.
River of Dreams explores the
radically divergent approaches to
‘country’ between indigenous and
non-indigenous people, conservationists
and developers at Fitzroy
River, in the ‘remote’ Kimberley
region of northwest Australia.
A tale of a town called Orange
and the people who live there. A
story too, of longing and courage,
which unveils some of the different
faces of love. All brave love and
loss, together weaving a story - a
country love story.
A group of tormented public service
wage-slaves decide that they are not
clockwork monsters, so the steamy
Australian nights and raucous party
games and brief belligerent punchups
and beery romps on the Holden
bonnet all ensue.
