The Screen Show

Exciting Australian director Goran Stolevski on his lush folk horror You Won't Be Alone. Luca Guadagnino's doc about Salvatore Ferragamo, and, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Ningla A-Na, one of the greatest Australian docs is restored.

A new documentary series that gives voice to the Australian wars, and we revisit a conversation with Australian actor Murray Bartlett upon his Emmy win for The White Lotus.

Upon the sad passing of one of the most exciting directors in the world, Jean-Luc Godard, we revisit a panel discussion from 2015.It was recorded during a two day symposium at the University of Technology, focusing on his feature films – in particular 2010's Film Socialism and 2014's Goodbye to Language – shot in 3D.It's almost impossible to describe these multilingual, non-narrative films in conventional plot terms – the former is set on the ill-fated cruise ship Costa Concordia and then in a family run petrol station – characters include a Nazi war criminal and a Russian detective. The latter was shot around Godard's house near lake Geneva and features a couple who are played by two different sets of actors, and a dog named Roxy (Godard's own). The shards of plot and character that both films offer find some solid ground on familiar Godardian obsessions: European identity; the Holocaust and the legacy of Western civilisation.Speakers are Miriam Ross from Wellington's Victoria University, Julian Murphet, director for the centre for Modernism Studies at the University of New South Wales, filmmaker and Deakin University film scholar Dirk de Bruyn and Alex Gawronski, artist and scholar from the Sydney College of the Arts.
