Keep Drinking, Men! The Story of Beer Drinkers in Space

Keep Drinking, Men! The Story of Beer Drinkers in Space

2007 • 60 min
In 1983, a group of friends who worked at Disney building EPCOT decided to make a movie. None of them had ever made a feature-length movie before, but they used their creative talents and sense of teamwork from Disney to create Beer Drinkers in Space. The movie took nine months to complete and consumed their lives and their homes as they constructed spaceship interior sets in family rooms, bedrooms, and garages. Elaborate models and pyrotechnics were shot. The script was transferred to cue cards and the intrepid movie makers popped open a few beers and got in front of the cameras to shoot this camp comedy feature. 23 years after the movie was created, Beer Drinkers in Space writer/director Frank Delle found and interviewed every person involved with the project. Using these new interviews, as well as photographs, raw footage, behind the scenes footage and clips from the movie, he created the documentary Keep Drinking Men! T

2 Mums and a Dad

2 Mums and a Dad

2007 • 51 min
Kellie and Fiona are two thirty-something Aussie lesbians who desire a baby of their own, and begin discussing the routes available to them. One option presents itself in the form of Darren, a rather vociferous and iron-willed, gay British man who shares the couple's need for a child and clocks in as a strong candidate for sperm donor. The three consult with attorneys on the legal stipulations, then agree to move forward. Fiona's insemination passes without a hitch, but as the pregnancy rolls on, tempers begin to flare and open hostility erupts, raising serious questions about the emotional fortitude of this situation -- particularly the question of whether the baby is a strong enough force to bind everyone together and pull them through the tumult unscathed.

East of Que Village

East of Que Village

2007 • 20 min • China
Shot in the rural Chinese province of Hebei, this work captures a pack of wild dogs scavenging in an arid desolate landscape. East of Que Village considers the impact of Chinese industrialisation and urbanisation on rural communities, casting fresh light on those neglected by the new social-economic paradigm. The dogs, which literally have to eat each other to survive are juxtaposed with a group of villagers who struggle in the same ways. The work reflects the sense of isolation and loss increasingly present in Chinese society as communities are scattered, traditional rural villages are dissolved, and the fight for survival takes hold. The work's title signals to the only road leading from the village to the outside world.

The Death of Natural Language

The Death of Natural Language

2007 • 3 min
The Death of Natural Language is an ascii animation of a plane crashing into the ground which provides a poetic illustration of how people have lost the ability to express themselves eloquently. Furthermore, the abstracted image mediated by ascii text parallels modern human communication; meaning is often lost or misinterpreted by the process. The music is miko by the beans.

Prague Winter

Prague Winter

2007 • 8 min
So part of what's so surprising about Prague Winter is that it feels so lived in, so thoroughly grounded. It's not so much that Jennings makes Prague look like Manhattan (although there are commonalities in terms of architecture and the gaps of light between it). But the film restricts itself to sights on and around the tram, which provides an uncharacteristic linearity to the film. What's more, Jennings' status as a guest observer seems to bring out a humanism in his work, as he fixates on the elderly and, implicitly, the history to which they've been subjected. The post-Communist malaise hardens into grim acceptance, and this, along with the physical traces of Prague's history as manifested in the built environment, is what fascinates Jennings here. His camera is tender and unobtrusive, as you would expect from a filmmaker of his sensitivity.

Contributed by brittle sounds, clouds as a hasty swarm over peaks. Behind windows, lights flash like Morse characters. Gondolas hiss past like flying objects. People are like phantoms in the snow. The moon rises, glows, crashes, disappears and always goes up again. (Isabella Reicher)
