“An ‘avant-garde’ film of the seventies. A man obssessed with Phantom comics fantasises himself as the contemporary Phantom. Shot on location in Sydney, various Sydney visual artists play characters in this short comic story intercut with images from Phantom comics. Gary Shead is a visual artist who utilised cartoon imagery in his work, hence the idea for this film.” (Screensound)

De Da De Dum

Artist/poet/novelist/singer Pip Proud was being feted in the media as an underground superstar at the time this experimental documentary was made. The film shows Pip’s reactions to automated, ritualised city life, using altered speed photography and, in some instances, incision and puncturing of the film stock.

This assembly of home-movie footage, shot between 1961 and 1966, was made by artist and filmmaker Shead. Homegrown pop artist Martin Sharp and writer Richard Neville appear in a sequence covering the birth of Oz magazine. The film’s impressionistic fragments capture the mood of the youth counterculture in early 1960s Sydney.
