Off The Grid Screening

Leave a comment

posterAward winning film ‘Off The Grid’ will be playing at the end of next month, Thursday 30th July in Darlinghurst. The event includes live music, chocolate tasting and an Indian Buffet Dinner and costs $35 in total for students.

A bit about the film:

From 2011 to 2013 Jonathan Taggart (Director) and Phillip Vannini (Producer) spent two years travelling across Canada to find 200 off-gridders and visit them in their homes. They met off-gridders in every single province and territory and through their film they narrated our travels and chronicled in depth the experiences, challenges, inventions, aspirations, and ways of life of people who have chosen to radically re-invent daily life in a dramatically innovative but also quite traditional way.

Life Off Grid is a film about people who have chosen to build their lives around renewable energy, with beautiful, inspiring, and often challenging results.

The film features never before seen footage from inside Australia’s offshore detention camps, revealing the personal impact of sending those in search of a safe home to languish in limbo.

Congratulations to Jonty Davies-Conyngham, who is the winner of this semester’s MAP Competition.

There were some really creative and passionate entries and it was really difficult to choose one winner, however, Jonty’s entry was very relatable for film students and is more relevant to young filmmakers now than ever:

Don’t obsess over the tech, use whatever you have as tools to make something amazing. Technology doesn’t make a movie.

Enjoy your prizes!!!

Some of the first films have been unveiled for the Sydney Film Festival, which runs from 8 – 19 June. You can check out some of the selected films here: http://www.sff.org.au/2016-film-guide/2016-program-preview/

One film which would be worth seeing is ‘The Commune’ from iconic Danish director Thomas Vinterberg. You might recognise him for his films The Hunt and The Celebration, two highly intense and captivating psychological dramas.
