7.00pm – 9.30pm
A red carpet event that will showcase the feature length documentary
Touch the Sound (Toronto, Locarno and Edinburgh Film Festivals),
which has been made available especially for the Bayside Film Festival.
Thomas Riedelsheimer’s new film is not only a documentary
about the pioneering deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie, but also
a poetic investigation of human sensation and communication. Touch
the Sound explores the fundamental connections between sound,
rhythm, time and the body, and suggests that our sense of hearing
can lead us towards a more attentive and meditative experience of
the world.
The opening night will also feature
the Australian Premiere of Aerosol, which will hit the
Sydney Film Festival on the same night. This film halted work at
the Weta Workshop in New Zealand (Lord of the Rings, King
Kong) where it screened earlier this year upon invitation by
Richard Taylor. The multiple Oscar® winner compared its visual
look to the work of Jeunet and Gilliam.
7.30pm – 8.15pm
Lead by Paul Harris (3RRR and The Age, Artistic Director for the
St Kilda Film Festival), Liz Burke (Executive Producer, OpenChannel
Productions and award winning filmmaker The Needy and the Greedy),
Karin Altman, (Project Manager, Australian Film Commission, writer,
director and script editor), and Alkinos Tsilimidos, (director,
Tom White & Silent Partner) will discuss the role and success
of Australian short film. Are Australian short films more successful
than our country's feature films?
The panel discussion will be followed by a program of Short Films.
Both sessions are covered by the one ticket ($10). All short film
details are in the Short Film Program section of this website.
7.00pm – 9.00pm
In November 2004 local secondary school media and drama teachers
were approached by the Bayside City Council’s Cultural Development
Department to see if they were interested in participating in the
Youth Documentary Project. The aim of this project was to have professional
filmmakers deliver a series of film development and production workshops
to year 9, 10 & 11 students. The students would be required
to work in teams of four, to develop a five minute documentary exploring
a topic or issue of choice. The completed films will be screened
throughout the 2005 Bayside Film Festival.
The Youth Documentary Awards will be hosted by Brian Nankervis and
will see the most accomplished student filmmakers receive their
awards. Bayside City Council would like to thank the following awards
sponsors:
