Independent Cinema for Everyone

Made in response to Zierle & Carter’s performance Between Lands and Longings, this art film by Melbourne’s The Public Studio takes an experimental and surrealist dimension on the live performance. Part documentary, part staged for camera, this film was made on location during the Australian presentation of a performance that weaves together personal stories and definitions of belonging. Think an ocean of voices, think stories of loss, displacement, hope, new connections and of finding home, of the night slowly turning, a trapped moth fluttering in desperation, pearls in milk, and lipstick on glass.
