film festival
just a quick mention that the canberra film festival starts next week. movies from across the globe - turkey, germany, scotland, us, sweden, argentina, taiwan, chile, israel, czech, denmark, norway and spain. the lineup of films looks pretty good, like ae fond kiss, the romeo and juliet story of a glasgow pakistani dj and the white teacher he falls in love with.
it’s also worth checking out the electrofringe show at ccas. curated by gail priest (who was the electrofringe coordinator this year) it features work from some of the best video artists involved with the festival. i recommend checking out work from khaled sabsabi and scott morrison.
i also recommend checking out somaya langley and michael ascroft’s new work familiar circuits at the old bus depot markets on tuesday oct 26. their audiovisual work built around urban atmospheres is curiously engaging.
