Podcasts about sydney underground film festival

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.

On this episode I chat with director Ingvar Kenne about his haunting film The Land, which screened in 2022 at the Sydney Underground Film Festival and Europe's Snowdance Film Festival where Ingvar won the Best Direction Award. The Land follows Jeremy, played by Steve Rodgers, and Neets, played by Anna Lise Philips, a couple who have a life that many would envy. They have a three-bedroom house, they have a busy family, and they've been married for fourteen years.  They also have a remote property in the middle of nowhere which Jeremy visits with his distant friend Simon, played by Cameron Stewart, who returns after a long sojourn overseas. His returns sets Neets on edge as Simon seeks to atone for something that happened long ago. As they head out to 'the land', Neets is left with the children, who she swiftly leaves with her mother - who she appears to have a fractious relationship with - so she can spend some time by herself.  Yet, it's out on 'the land' that Jeremy and Simon's friendship is both fortified and tested as they unsettle aspects of the past that disrupts who they are as people. Performances across the board are exemplary, with Steve and Cameron building off their real-life friendship to portray a friendship that has been tested by distance and time, even though the echoes of it continue to resonate. For Anna Lise Philips, the moments of solitude where she's finally able to relieve some pent up tension, both in a physical and emotional sense, are all too relatable.  In the following interview with Ingvar, we talk about the foundation of The Land and how his friendship with Steve and Cameron helped create this genuinely powerful film. Our conversation does include discussion about trauma and abuse, so if these aspects are triggering for you, then maybe skip this interview. For everyone else, please enjoy this discussion with Ingvar. To keep track of where the film will be available to view in the future, please visit thelandmovie.com.
