LOST FLOWERS OF LOCKDOWN

Glendyn Ivin

Each day of Victorias most recent 'lockdown 5.0', I went out and found a flower to photograph. 12 days of wandering the streets of Brunswick, reminding myself that amongst all the chaos and uncertainty, nature is there, reminding me in the smallest of ways, that life goes on regardless, and it can be beautiful.

CUNNAMULLA MONSTER CHILDREN

Glendyn Ivin

I think I posted this a couple of years ago but my friends at Monster Children recently re-published a list of my 15 Favourite Australian films. I forgot that when they published the story they embedded a copy of the film ‘Cunnamulla’.

From the article… ‘I distinctly remember sitting in the cinema in 2000 thinking Dennis O’Rourke’s portrait of small-town Australia was a devastatingly different portrait to the one the Australian Olympic Committee was sending out to the world at the same time as Sydney hosted the Olympic Games. Rough-as-guts racism, bored-as-batshit youth; the film shows just how wide the divide is between city and country, rich and poor, black and white. All through the unflinching lens of O’Rourke’s mini DV camera.’

This is a controversial film and O’Rourke was a controversial filmmaker. I question his approach on this film and others. But 20 years on Cunnamulla still stands as a raw and uncompromising document of a time and place in Australia that I’m sure is more relevant today than it was when it was first released. Cunnamulla and The Good Woman Of Bangkok had a huge effect on me when I was a young student filmmaker.

LOST FLOWERS ANNOUNCED

A couple of weeks ago my new project THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HEART was announced. Based on the best selling novel of the same name by Holly Ringland, the seven hour mini -series starring Sigourney Weaver and produced by Made Up Stories (who I made Penguin Bloom with) and Amazon Prime and is written for the screen by Sarah Lambert. I will be directing all seven episodes. You can read the full details here.

As the series was being announced in Sydney a few of us were out in central Australia and more specifically Martutjarra-Luritja country (above) to begin the process of scouting for locations.

As always nervous and excited for whats ahead!
