Dancing Shadows Screening | Erin McCuskey

Saturday September 9th

7pm

Description

A retrospective of the film work of Erin McCuskey (AUS), including a three-channel screening of her work 'Precious Fragments'. In fusing analogue film (created and archival), music, dance, literature, theatre, and a visual artist's perspective into digital cinematic works, these are films that are at first sensual and delightful, and then resonant with a power poetic and deep.

“McCuskey is a film artist of the highest calibre, utilising dance and music together with archival footage, to create a sensual and experimental aural and visual feast. Her work celebrates families and communities, through a female sensibility, and through the richness of memory and the lands we live on and come from." (Bill Mousoulis - Unknown Pleasures).

“The work is haunting and sophisticated.” (Peter Tammer - Independent Filmmaker)

Duration 90 mins plus Q and A with the artist and intermission.
