Short documentary on the shunters in the Darling Island, Sydney, Australia railyard. Filmed in 1977.
Renegades: Fragments from a Diary of Three Years' Experience 1970-1973
Director of Photography
A fragmented film, largely following street performer George Shevtsov at the 1970 Vietnam Moratorium, the Odyssey Pop Festival at Wallacia in 1971, and street theatre sneezing for lunchtime crowds. The film then takes a darker turn, contrasting audio from a court case with footage of police.
A Film for Discussion
Producer
A docu-drama shot in 1970, but not completed until 1973, the film sought to encapsulate in an experimental form issues that were under discussion within the Women’s Liberation Movement at this time and to thus contribute to action for change. In its numerous community screenings, active debate was encouraged as part of the viewing experience.
