A portrait of Melbourne in Spring '04 (September/October), a mosaic of different stories: an angel desires to be human; a young couple cope with long-distance relating; a novelist unexpectedly falls pregnant; a woman from London discovers Melbourne; and a disenfranchised man, with a gambling debt, becomes involved with an underworld gang.
Several interconnecting stories of love, loss, desire and despair, among both gay and straight characters. The main story concerns Anna, a successful but lonely novelist, who falls for Finola, a vivacious young writing student, who is involved with the troubled Cindy. Paul, keen on Anna, is pursued by Martin; and Evan and Skye, a young couple, experience problems.
A multi-layered narrative drama about ordinary people and their struggles and joys with life. Blue Notes is composed of five tales about people who are "blue": a married man struggles by with depression; his son spends his days drifting; a young woman reacts to being abused by her partner; a heroin addict attempts to start a career in music; and a lonely man, bereft of family, looks for a way to connect with others.
From the Australian underground comes a dynamic gothic original. Z and X are vampires bound by love and driven by their lust for blood. Together they stalk their unsuspecting prey in the dark streets and back alleys of Melbourne, but tonight they aren't the only killers lurking in the shadows. A moody and atmospheric thriller, A NOCTURNE: NIGHT OF THE VAMPIRE is a sophisticated reworking of the vampire genre with film noir stylistics.
A Turkish man and Greek woman fall in and out of love.
Ali Alizadeh reads English translations of Rumi and Hafiz, as well as his own contemporary Sufi poems. Accompanying the poems, the film follows six characters on their individual journeys of disenchantment, awakening and bliss: a poet and dancer who are struggling with their art, and four lovesick individuals, engulfed in solitude and yearning.
A couple, Steve and Louise, quit their respective office jobs, deciding to follow their inner desires and their aspirations to be artistic.
The Writer prepares to shut off from the world; The Lover accepts the rejection of his love; The Cynic espouses the virtues of distance. Winter is here.
A dance of impressions, of humans and animals and nature. Light and movement, music and silence, melancholy and laughter, Daddy-Long-Legs takes delight in cinematic and musical play ...
