Saara Lamberg the focus of today's programme or more particularly her new films Conversations with Spithead and Coma are the latest in this extraordinary auteur filmmakers collection of films. Conversations with Spithead a short accompanying the feature Coma is having their world premiere at the Lido on Thursday 17th Oct at 7pm with a follow-up screening at the Sun Cinema in Yarraville on the 24th of Oct before heading off to screenings in Adelaide.

Finnish-Australian filmmaker Saara Lamberg has crafted a filmography which features genre-defying, boundary pushing films like 2017's Innuendo, 2022's Westermarck Effect, and the docu-fiction film The Lies We Tell Ourselves, which received screenings at Perth's Revelation International Film Festival and the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Screenings of The Lies We Tell Ourselves at these festivals became an event that spilled out of the cinema and into the foyer, with Saara dramatically collapsing on the festival red carpet, adding an extra layer to the films themes.On the horizon for Saara are two more films. Coma is a feature length film told from the perspective of a patient in a coma whose friends, family, and the hospitals employees spill their own truths onto this unconscious person, and Saara's other film being Conversations with Spithead, a short-long film about a physicist who engages in complicated and wild conversations with his cat, Spithead, about the nature of living.In the following discussion, Saara talks about her journey into filmmaking, what it's like working within a film community like filmonik in Melbourne, and about how Coma and Conversations with Spithead were created. Saara closes the conversation by giving advice for fellow independent filmmakers in Australia.To find out where you can view Saara's films, seek out her social media presence on Instagram and Facebook.

Saara Lamberg steps on stage. “I'd like to be able to diversify Australian cinema,” she tells the audience at the Melbourne Made Film Festival. The fiercely independent filmmaker is a unique figure in Aussie cinema, a female writer/director/producer in an industry mostly dominated by men. But what intrigues me is that she also takes the lead role in her films. This includes the Westermarck Effect her most recent film. A story about a woman who falls in love with her biological son. It's risky cinema. But to quote David Lynch, “Don't make a film if it can't be the film you want to make! It will kill you.” In this podcast, Saara Lamberg and I chat about her journey from Helsinki to becoming Melbourne's best-known indie filmmaker. We also chat about “attraction” and why Saara doesn't care much about gender! More Info: https://linktr.ee/noelanderson Start Your Own Blog and Get $25 Credit Produced by Harlequin Ink
