Clouds above Berlin is a double bill of two works, one – Black Project 1 by Antony Hamilton (2009 Tanja Liedtke Fellow) and the other – Tilted Fawn - by Melanie Lane. Hamilton’s work Black Project 1 was initially developed during his Fellowship program in Berlin in 2009. The fully produced work was premièred in Melbourne earlier this year and we congratulate both Antony and Melanie (his artistic collaborator) on their ongoing success with these works.

Life in Movement

Following the successful cinema release across Australia in April, Life in Movement (Closer Productions) continues to be seen in more venues and is due to be released on DVD.

Upcoming screenings in Germany:

LIM will be screened as part of Berlin’s DOKU.ARTS (international arts documentary festival) on 6 October, which is also Tanja’s birthday. This screening will take place in the Zeughauskino, which is housed within the German Historical Museum in Berlin. http://www.doku-arts.de/

And LIM will also be screened on 20 October as part of the Stuttgarter Film Nacht at the Volkshochschule (VHS), TREFFPUNKT, Rotebühlplatz 28, Stuttgart.

Set to an atmospheric soundtrack, the documentary is immersive and engaging, as it mimics the playfulness and poignancy of its subject. … A haunting exploration of creativity, its inspiration and impact, Life in Movement offers a tender and thoughtful portrait of an irreplaceable artist.
