Last screened at the Cinémathèque in the year of its production, De Bruyn’s hybrid feature is one of his most personal and significant films as well as a key work of Australian multicultural cinema. Documenting a trip to the Netherlands by the filmmaker’s family, it combines an extraordinary array of approaches and techniques including autoethnography, timelapse, diary making, rotoscoping and other forms of animation to address questions of belonging and identity.
Preceded by Re-Vue Dirk de Bruyn (2017) 6 mins – Unclassified 15+. This response to Mike Hoolboom’s Colour My World from the same year is an intense montage of animation, found footage, leader, poetic written text and incantatory voiceover.
Program to be introduced by the filmmaker.
