Melbourne International Film Festival and Greyspace, in association with OtherFilm presents Intermission: Who is Miss Roder? Artists from London, Chicago, Brisbane and Melbourne chart the extremity of analogue and digital performance, with influences including expanded cinema, noise, video mixing, and contemporary performance. Each work explores performance within cinema through various means—from the prepared
screens of Guy Sherwin, the responsive environment played by Jon Pak, to the ritualised actions of Ben Russell. Intermission: Who is Miss Roder? will leave a lasting memory of captured images in a woven narrative that brings gesture, intervention, and feedback to the fore of the cinematic experience.

OtherFilm presents from the UK…

Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo Australian / NZ tour 2008 (Brisbane 7-9 August)

Like a blast of cinematic conceptual art, film artist Guy Sherwin’s hand-crafted films explore the elements of film’s grain, tone, flicker, sound, light and space. Beautiful, enigmatic, and sensual, these experimental films question our perception of ‘light moving in time.’ Together with partner Lynn Loo, Guy creates cinematic environments of incredible purity and beauty. OtherFilm regulars will be familiar with the awesomeness of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op, where Guy’s filming began. We are so excited that Guy will be here in a month’s time! If you’re into artists’ film do NOT miss the opportunity to see one of the great film artists on his first Australian visit!
