Indivision Screenings 06 - Feb 17-19 Sydney

"The IndiVision Screenings present films where imagination triumphs over money, where iconoclasm and the visionary soar over conformity, where there's space to hear characters breathe, ultimately where cinema kicks against the mundane.

Wildly divergent in style and content, these films act as stark - and original - proof that cinema can be made with limited finance. I promise they also urge Australian filmmakers and audiences to be both constantly restless and fundamentally attentive to what inspiring work can be found from often unexpected places and stolen moments.

Screenings include three Australian premieres - Close to Home (Israel, selected for Berlin film festival 2006), Allegro (Denmark, selected for Venice 2005 and Sundance 2006), and Down to the Bone (USA, winner, Director's Award Sundance 2004), as well as the powerful Keane (USA, selected for Director's Fortnight Cannes).

Special guests, US producer Andrew Fierberg (Secretary, Keane, Fur) and French producer Marc Missonnier (5 x 2, Swimming Pool), will participate in both the IndiVision Project Lab and Screenings.

Whether polemical or political, whispered or shouted, soft or hard, these films won't leave you indifferent. They will inspire."
