SUMMARY:Your Story: Sequencing and narrative with personal photography
DESCRIPTION:Participants will work with a selection of 50+ existing personal images\, arranging their photographs in a folio of fresh image sequences. \n  \nWho\, What\, Why: \nPhotographers Sean Davey and Aishah Kenton of the Pacific Centre for Photographic Arts will guide you through a range of considerations and approaches to arrive at an intimate folio of personal photographs. \nEach participant will create a new series of photographs presented in a cohesive folio\, that communicates narrative and feeling solely through image. This activity demonstrates the power of storytelling through incidental photography of everyday life and shows that each of us has a unique position\, aesthetic\, and perspective to share. \n“This program gives people an awareness that each of us is likely to have a body of photographic work in our phones or in an old photo album on the shelf\, incidental work\, work that explores where they are\, their life. Through considered selection\, aesthetic and subjective considerations\, inclusion and reduction\, everyday photographs can be combined and bought into a new realm of communication.” Sean Davey \n  \nItems supplied: \nFolios\, paper\, pencils\, 5 hrs tuition\, tea\, coffee and lunch. \n  \nWhat to bring: \nPhysical photos – participants are required to bring 50 – 100 diverse photographs. \nSuggested content: old family photo albums\, film packets of travel shots\, found photo collections or digital images from your phone camera roll to be pre-printed as 6 x 4 images.

SUMMARY:Just Not Australian Film Screening | TERROR NULLIUS by Soda Jerk
DESCRIPTION:MA 15 + | 54mins\nTERROR NULLIUS is in conjunction with the exhibition Just Not Australian showing at NorthSite Contemporary Arts. Presented in partnership with End Credits Film Club.\nPart political satire\, eco-horror and road movie\, TERROR NULLIUS is a political revenge fable that offers an unwriting of Australian national mythologies. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts\, Soda Jerk’s revisionist history opens a wilful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways. \nThe apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention\, flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents and a feminist motorcycle gang goes vigilante on Mel Gibson. \nBookings are essential\nDate: Friday 28th of January 2022\nLocation: NorthSite at Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City\, QLD 4870 enter via Garden at front of building.\nFirst Screening: 5:45PM — 6:50PM\nSecond Screening: 7:00PM — 8:05PM\n(Note: doors will close 5 minutes before screening – if running late\, please make your way through the main Theatre entrance.) \nSoda Jerk is a two-person art collective who work at the intersection of documentary and speculative fiction. \n  \nImage Credit: Soda Jerk\, TERROR NULLIUS\, 2018\, installation view\, Just Not Australian\, Artspace\, Sydney\, 2019.
