Antenna Documentary Film Festival - The Sydney premiere of SENSES OF CINEMA (Tom Zubrycki & John Hughes, Australia, 2022)

Senses of Cinema, a documentary about the Filmmaker Co-operatives (1966-1986), will have its Sydney premiere on October 15th at the Chauvel Cinema as part of the Antenna Documentary Film Festival. The film is the product of a 12 year-long collaboration between filmmakers Tom Zubrycki and John Hughes.

The Co-ops nurtured Australia’s cinema renaissance and created new markets for strikingly innovate Australian content - experimental shorts, documentaries and dramas that gave voice to groups and issues that were denied expression in the mainstream media.

Senses of Cinema will screen on October 15th at 3pm, and again on October 23 at 6.30pm

[The film’s] generosity is exacting, thoughtful, a homage to those who shifted the limits of our screen culture…whose work provoked fundamental questions about Australian society, and the practice of filmmaking itself. There are trailblazers, ingenues, stalwarts, provocateurs here – an impressive cast, to be sure.   Al Cossar, director of Melbourne International Film Festival

Made by two of Australia’s most important and, at times, maverick documentarians in the twilight of their careers, Senses of Cinema speaks, in every way, to the importance of collaboration and the necessary recognition and resurrection of often-forgotten parts of our film history and culture. Adrian Danks “The Conversation”
