Necessary Games, dir Sophie Hyde, 2009.
The premiere screening in NSW, this 18 minute triptych of three short dance films is about our human need to connect and the urgent games we play. A collaborative work produced by Restless Dance Theatre and Closer Productions Screen Media.
Moths: Two men collide in a dank night world, drenched with loss and heavy with hope. Who do you see in your dreams?
Sixteen: A coming of age game about the joy, nervousness, desire and intimacy of the different kinds of connections a young woman will, did or might have in her life.
Necessity: A game between two girls eternally bound together as they trace their lives onto the walls of their room and try to get below the surface.
Necessary Games has recently won a number of film awards, including best non-narrative film, best editing and best production design at the South Australian Screen Awards when it premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival. It was also awarded Best Experimental Short Film at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Be My Brother, dir Genevieve Clay, 2009.
A short film about a young man whose charm and charisma challenges the prejudices of a stranger waiting at a bus stop.
Audiences of over 150,000 were transfixed when the film screened at Movie Extra Tropfest 2009 and Genevieve was awarded first prize. Gerard O’Dwyer was awarded best actor for the lead role in the film.
