Kaugere: A Place Where Nobody Enters

Kaugere in Port Moresby, PNG. Rugby coach Albert Muri is no stranger to crime and the raskol gangs that tore his family apart. His eldest son was killed by the police and his second son is serving life in prison. Dia, his youngest son remains his last beacon of hope helping him training the local rugby team, channelling criminal minds into sporting heroes. As Desmond is pardoned and gets out of prison, the question arises: what future is there in a settlement that more closely resembles a slum and where everyone lacks everything?

As It Happened: The Book That Shook The World

“The Little Red Schoolbook?” Written by two Danes, the book sought to empower schoolchildren by having them question societal norms and fight for a better education system. 20 of its 200 pages included straight-up-and-down facts about sex and drugs. They were the pages that mattered. There were frank “how-to’s” on sexual acts using everyday profanities without apology. Drug facts were openly discussed. The book was non-judgemental, seeking to provide children with the information that adults had kept from them for years. And therein lay the anarchic rub.

Andrew Hamilton: The Story

Andrew Hamilton grew up in the far north shore of Sydney. He had a good upbringing, but found himself convicted for selling a large commercial quantity of magic mushrooms, LSD and the supply of MDMA. A self proclaimed 'Mushroom King', Andrew sold shrooms for over a decade before getting arrested. After doing time in prison, Andrew has found a passion in stand up comedy and is travelling around Australia making people laugh. The power of laughter which he experienced in a maximum security prison was the light-bulb moment that took Andrew from the cell to the stages.

These Are the Days

"These Are the Days is about the passing of time. It is a computer animation of falling paper, with a sound-track of people counting. By combining mathematical models of different physical phenomena such as gravity, elasticity and aerodynamics I can create abstracted simulations of natural systems. As well as the formal qualities that are explored in this work, I am interested in other possible readings. The endless flow of paper suggests the meditative space of a waterfall, yet also speaks of consumption and waste. Our lives are documented by a continual stream of paper, from birth and death certificates to supermarket receipts."
