Fitzroy Shorts proudly supports the Bicycle Film Festival

The last regular Fitzroy Shorts for the year and it was good to see so many people on quite a mild night. A special program tonight including a mix of New Zealand, Australian and Singaporean films.Highlights of the screening were, The Speaker (dir: Tearpa Kahi) (more…)

Fitzroy Shorts brings short film aficionados another fine selection of films from the region with the last competition screening before the end of year ‘The Fitz’ Awards to be held in December. Australian director Sotiris Dounoukos brings us PUNCH. The most loved man in Paris reminisces about a time when he was loved by just one woman instead of a whole city. (more…)

The first week of Spring and the weather has been nice enough for at least two days of it. Before Melbourne goes nuts for the footy finals and the Royal Melbourne Show it was good to get some films in early in the month. Highlights from this month’s much lighter program included: Love No. 9 (Director: Gemma Lee) A cutesy pie 1940s starlet neighbour has her attentions for her attractive neighbour spurned. She can’t figure out why until she sneaks into his bedroom and finds out the real reason. Strange as it may sound that is not the first time I have seen food used as a weapon in a movie. Catch Fish (Director: Adam Arkapaw) A perfectly ordinary story of a man who has the hots for a fishmonger (who wears fishnets, what else?) so he takes the fish home and gets into the bath with it. Although the film shows something different (more…)

This month Fitzroy Shorts focuses on regional short films. Bringing audiences short films from Thaliand, Singapore and Australia. Featuring award winning short film CROSSBOW, directed by David Michod, CROSSBOW gives us a sneak peak over the fence of a neighbour where there is loud sex, drugs and somewhere amongst it all, a boy sits silent and is lost in the house, reaching out for warmth and love and as the story unravels one neighbour bears witness to everything, featuring Joel Edgerton (Ned Kelly). Winner of the Film Victoria Erwin Rado Award for Best Australian Short Film – MIFF 2007. (more…)

With several of the short film session at MIFF selling out this year there is no doubting the popularity of short films continues to grow. This month’s event was surprisingly well attended considering everything else going on in Melbourne and was a good break from the hustle and bustle of the big festival in town at the moment. The audience also included Scott Brenannn and Corrine Grant who I haven’t seen at Fitzroy Shorts since she curated a screening a couple of years ago so it was good to see her again. Highlights from a very dark program included: Emit (Fergus McDonald) (more…)

This month Fitzroy Shorts features the award winning short, Jonathon Livingstone CEO, which took out The Comedy Channel Short Film Festival - Best Film 2007. Directed by James Teh and produced by Joe Villanti of Angy Pinata Productions, Jonathon Livingstone CEO is an allegorical tale of corporate greed that’s for the birds. Also featuring is Dream of Conception, Directed by Jong Suk (Joy) Park. It’s a story of lady who walks alone on a foggy beach in the early morning. A turtle appears from the sea. She takes possession of the turtle until her younger sister takes it away from her. Screening at the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF 2007). (more…)

Running late due to Punt Rd traffic I wasn’t sure it was the right place as I walked up the stairs to find a Latin dance club. After returning the to street to check the number, I decided to press on up another flight of stairs and eventually found the venue. As it turns out I wasn’t running as late as I thought so I got to kick back with Brett, Thomas and his snazzy new haircut. (more…)

The short film ‘COOL’, dir by Kylie Washington-Brook features this month at Fitzroy Shorts for the launch at The Panama. It stars Susie Porter and Marcus Graham. It about a woman who spends a few days in medical isolation undergoing radiation treatment, her health hanging in the balance. From her clinically bare room, she re-evaluates what matters most to her, the long hours of waiting punctuated by a series of exchanges through the window with medical staff, other patients and her partner. This simple premise is skilfully shot and directed, and is infused with a lively sense of inquiry by Susie Porter.

Also featuring this month is multi award winning Singapore feature director, Royston Tan, whose latest short film ‘D.I.Y’ will prove to be an audience favourite. In collaboration with Club21 of Singapore, it was shot in October 2006 and features several big names including Allan Wu, Lum May Yee, Samantha Tan & Dj Koflow. Accompanying this already great selection of shorts will be two winners from this years St Kilda Film Festival 2007, (more…)

After a wonderful season at The Spanish Club, Fitzroy Shorts returns for the second half of 2007 at The Panama Dining Room on Smith St in Fitzroy. A wonderfully spacious area with plenty of viewing room and great food from the kitchen. Join the crew and regulars for the launch screening of the best short films from around the country and overseas, on the first Tuesday in July. Of course with an afterparty! (more…)

Isn’t it always the way? Just as you are getting comfortable somewhere, you have to move on. In this case with the Spanish Club closing down at the end of June this was to be the last screening at the venue. I will miss the friendly bar staff (hi El!), the Churros and the sangria in particular. It was a happy night though with some very funny films screening including the following standouts. Europe (Director: Brendan Cowell) A man’s imagination gets the better of him when his girlfriend goes away backpacking in Europe, the main character reminded me of Todd from the anti-lifestyle (more…)

Ron the Zookeeper, created by Melbourne-based animator Darcy Prendergast, has been selected for screening at the Annecy Festival in June. Annecy is the number one international competitive festival, and for over 45 years the town has been showing off the very best in animation during six days of festivities. Fitzroy Shorts is proud to be screening Ron the Zookeeper in June. (more…)

May already and it is a relief to have some time off after the very busy comedy festival and everything else over the past couple of months. I was a bit better off this month and had a sangria or two to enjoy the films more. A very strange, but interesting selection of films included the following. STONE COUNTRY(Director: Mark Anderson), the story of Ngukurr in Arnhem Land as told by the residents. Things might not be as flash at the city, (more…)

Writer/director/animator Michael Cusack brings to Fitzroy Shorts his AFI award winning animation GARGOYLE. ’It’s fantastic that Gargoyle has been recognised by the AFIs. Gargoyle was considered something of a risk for me. Animation is always a labour of love, but as a work of personal expression, Gargoyle was an attempt to make something that would resonate and make people feel differently about animation. Of course, you always hope that an audience will respond, but it’s still a terrific surprise to be recognised in this way.’
A poetic work of dramatic fantasy, Gargoyle was a departure for Cusack, who is well known for his crowd-pleasing comedies.
Gargoyle came more from a place of personal inspiration. (more…)

The week before Easter and a four day weekend is on the way, just enough time to sneak in a screening and wonder how I managed to get -$1 in my bank account. A diverse range of films tonight and not as depressing as the programmer thought in his comments at the end of the screening. Highlights of this month’s screening were: Road Rage (Dir: Mark Bellamy) A incident of road rage turns into a roadside therapy sessions when a line of motorists share their problems. (more…)

With the backside festival, a.k.a Moomba, this weekend the Grand Prix then the FINA World Championships straight after this it was good to get out early in the month before everything gets too busy.Some of the highlights from a very good programme this month were: Scoff (Renee Webster) A colourful cast of characters explore the sexual awakening of a woman thanks to chocolate cake, a shower head nozzle and a tin shower block. Big Cats (Tim Sumner) In this animated short we learnt that lions are DANGERARSE and little kids drawings look cool when you combine them with 3D computer animation. (more…)

After taking out the top prize for Best Short Film at the 23rd Annual St Kilda Film Festival in 2006, VEND has impressed local and international audiences.
The first short film from producer/director team Natasha Gray and James Findlay, VEND was produced with assistance from the NSW Film & Television Office’s Young Filmmakers Fund, a scheme designed to provide aspiring filmmakers under the age of 30 with the opportunity and finance to bring their vision to life. What or who operates a soft-drink vending machine? VEND is a post-modern, sci-fi-fantasy about opportunity, freedom and dispensing with reality whist dispensing soft drink. Simple and stylish, Vend is a beautifully told story that will make you stop and think before you put your money into a vending machine next time. (more…)

The first Fitzroy Shorts for the year went off with a bang with special guest curator James Hewison and DJ Glendyn Ivin.

After a successful run in Fitzroy, the organisers of Fitzroy Shorts decided to expand their horizons to reach out to film fans who don’t often make it north of the river. Where better to have the new screening than St Kilda, home of Oscar winners, actors and where seeing production vans parked out on the street is a daily occurrence.

Home of the new Short Cuts screening is Big Mouth Cafe, situated in the heart of St Kilda’s cafe culture and an easy stager home for the patrons afterwards. The theme of the opening night was a cocktail party and the lucky patrons who decided come to first night took full advantage of it. The venue is cosy and the seats are comfortable so you are much more likely to end up talking to people you just met on the night and sharing a drink. Compliments to the bar staff who dealt with all the people at the bar, handed out food and still managed to look like they were having a good time. Cheers to the owners Maree & Paul and their hospitality.
