Albie Thoms (see Program 2)

Editor’s Note: Thanks to Adrian Martin for noticing the following programs screening at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna on February 6 and 7. Here’s the info from the Museum's website You have to go a long way to see this stuff, notwithstanding the sterling efforts of Bill Mousoulis and others to get similar things done. Here’s the info and the programme

Australian experimental cinema contains many histories. One persistent storyline involves the use of the film medium as a tool to enlarge and enhance the viewer's perception. Another considers the recurrence of co-operative forms in an art practice marked by collectivism and collaboration. Yet another story relays artists' responses to the environment as a subject, protagonist and idea. These threads combine in the three programs of "A Collected Gaze".
