INTERMISSION: WHO IS MISS RODER? (MELB)
July 11th, 2008
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.
