This film features some of Canberra's most dignified buildings - Parliament House, the National War Memorial, the Institute of Anatomy - as well as broad tree-lined roads and lawn-fronted homes.

Saving Our Land

"Saving Our Land", a follow up from “Panguna Mine Dilemma” on the struggle of the Indigenous population of Mekamui/Bougainville against the re-opening of Panguna mine by Rio Tinto's subsidy Bougainville Copper Limited. Panguna mine brought many problems to Mekamui and the war and ten year military blockade which followed its closure in 1989 has cost the lives of 20,000 people, which was a fifth of the population. None of the indigenous people living on the Land and from the Land want the mine re-opened. They have opposed the principles of large-scale- mining already in the 60's before the mine was opened and just want to live in peace and harmony without the intrusion of international companies ripping them of their resources and destroying and polluting their island.

The sun shines brightly at the Hamilton family's Christmas lunch, the only time of year when everyone gets together, now that their four children have grown up and won the world. The grandchildren, who were running around the room and the garden, did not notice the moment when all that apparent harmony was broken, when Michael, 33, mentions that his father Jack, 62, never devoted his time to him when he was a child. . The statement fell like a bomb in his father's lap, turning lunch into a battlefield. Accusations and memories put father and son face to face. The discussion is heated. Cornered, Jack gives in to family pressure and leaves with his son for a trip they should have taken twenty years ago. Together, crossing the vastness of Australian deserts and savannas, they discover how little they know about each other. However, both are sure that something happened between them on the day Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

Liquor, Guns n' Ammo

About diabolical combinations of all sorts. A subtle and unusual tale of femme/butch love. It is a road movie of the body - 'the wrong way down a one way street'. The style is experimental though it is primarily a fiction - a journey within an interior space - a view of America by a travelling femme and her obsession with a genderbending butch. Is it only one woman's journey? The multiple voice over implies that it is a symbol for all strange journeys through place and time - across the border of desire and beyond.
