This Is Experimental is an annual festival of experimental and avant-garde film that began at the New Zealand Film Archive in 2008. Following last years screenings by UK and New Zealand film-makers, this years focus is on Australia.
Dirk de Bruyn and Abject Leader are at the forefront of contemporary Australian artists’ cinema, bringing performance and improvisation into a medium better known for static, self-effacing projection. Both acts revolve around the multiple projection of 16mm film, and the intervention with an array of lenses, custom-made devices and improvised sonic expression.
This is Experimental 2009 features live performances by both acts and a rare screening of Australian experimental film classics from 1962 – 1998 entitled Isolationist Eye Openers: Historic Australian Film Art 1962-1998.
All events $8 / $6.
This is Experimental: Australian Film Art on tour in New Zealand June 11-13 2009 has been made possible with the support of the Australian High Commission.
