    LungSong Screen Dance
    Brown, C ; Scoones, R ; Jamnikar, N ; Bagheri Nesami, M ; Rubio, E ; Fay, N ; Dobson, W (Wanaka Festival of Colour, 2019)
    From breaching breaths to wild dialects with the clouds, LungSong brings attention and feeling to the scientific labor of climate change research through an activation of relations between bodies, airs, atmospheres and cosmologies. Catalysed by a residency at the Lauder Atmospheric Research Station (NIWA) and meetings with scientists and technicians who are involved in ‘ground truth’ readings and data collection of the changes taking place in our atmosphere due to global warming, LungSong is an eco-feminist response to the temper(ature) of our times. LungSong is an ongoing event of reckoning with the state we are in - responsive and resistive, eruptive and sensing - it is shaped by the living experience of planetary and human breaths and the writings of Luce Irigaray.

    The Five Provocations
    Black, A (Black Eye Films, 2018)
    The Five Provocations is a 94 minute, fictional, magic-realist, ensemble drama feature film that investigates the process of crafting and capturing performance on film. Dr Black wrote, directed and produced the feature film as practice-led research. She examined alternative approaches to film production in response to the research on the mediation of live performance, improvisation as a screenwriting tool and gender disparity in screen media. She determined that when performance is used as an initiator to film development it not only provides a more collaborative process but also enables the ability for more nuanced screen performances. Her findings produced a successful feature film The Five Provocations that demonstrates a working method for working with cast to develop story.

    Memory Chemistry
    Fletcher, P (Paul Fletcher, 2019-12-05)
    When no figurative narrative content exists in a creative work, different modes of playful engagement or disengagement are left on the "menu" to choose from. Can someone remain immersed in every sensation of movement, light, sound, music and color? Can someone take the opportunity to forget everything for 5 minutes? Or can someone sense, remember and recognize reoccurring and transforming patterns and figures within an apparent chaos? This short film contributes to the field of "visual music", fusing abstract images with sound to create a cohesive audiovisual composition.

    The (Officially) Curated Student Film Archive
    Hensler, D (The University of Melbourne, 2016-12-23)
    The [Officially] Curated VCA Student Film Archive aims to organise, curate and showcase the many quality student films made at VCA. The project is about unlocking the VCA Film School archive for the first time to create new intersections between expert knowledge, curatorial practice and student-generated content. Unprecedented online access will be granted to the graduate student film works of Australia’s oldest film school (the archive contains more than 1,700 short films dating back to 1967). This hidden collection will now be made available so that new audiences discover the content and teaching, learning and research opportunities can be created.

    riverrun 20 seconds
    ALSOP, P (seensound, 2017)
    riverrun 20 seconds was selected for performance at seensound, an international monthly festival of short films that focus on sound and vision works that emphasize inherent complementarity in sound and moving image. This audio/visual work explores potential relationships between sound, text, and image. It is built from Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and found images. Precedents to this type of exploration exist in, for example: performing arts (opera) film (sound design and score), and installation arts. Finnnegans Wake as sound art is discussed by Kostelanetz , Toop, Tubridy, et.al, and in practice by Cage. Here the first 20 seconds of a computer reading of Finnegans Wake is manipulated and affected and the resulting sounds are used first to select sections of a film and to then trigger effects on those selections. In doing this it adds more layers to the already complex relationships in the convergence of text, sound, and sight.
