Raymond Carver's spare, deceptively understated short stories seem to have tapped into a peculiar sensibility shared by many Australian filmmakers.
Feathers John Ruane, 49 mins, 1986, Australia, 16mmThis session features a twentieth anniversary screening of
Feathers adapted/directed by John Ruane, based on Carver's story and featuring Neil Melville (
Blue Heelers) and Julie Forsyth.
Everything Goes Andrew Kotatko, 18 mins, Australia, 2004, 35mmAlso on the bill,
Everything Goes, adapted by director Andrew Kotatko from Carver's short story,
Why Don't You Dance?, with Hugo Weaving and Abbie Cornish.
John Ruane and
Feathers associate producer and editor Ken Sallows will join
Age columnist and author Jane Sullivan to discuss some of the themes in Carver's stories and the preoccupations they have inspired.
