1. Tony Woods, (Melb) • An Archival
Object, 2003. This Genre film, shot in
Melbourne, shows the majesty of city
buildings. A look at glass reflections of
amazing proportions, and distortions in-
cludes the filmmaker's reflection. All to
music called “live” by Peter Ellis, on guitar
and Phil Edwards on synthesizers. 15 mins

2. Moira Joseph, (Melb) ”City Walk”,
1992. This film is the ostensibly a docu-
mentation of one of Melbourne’s busiest
intersections, but the processing and
chemical inflicted on the film produce a 2 nd
layer of grimy smog infused images which
enhance a sense of chaos, subjective
urban anonymity and alienation. 3.5 mins

3. Victoria Armatage, (Melb) “The end of re-
gret begets nostalgia” 2014. An abstract line-
ar film, exploring how regret over a fatal
decision, ultimately leads to reflection and nos-
talgia. 3 mins
