One of the best links in my Bbox connects with a great CRAWLspace interview with two of the hottest packets in Celebredome since Diana bit the bullet, that is, the essentially hot to trot Motel Sisters, Paris and Tacky. It's just so lovely the way things work out sometimes without you even noticing! For instance this connection my Bbox has with Paris and Tacky; just by doing what we do here at Skanky Jane's Bargain Box, collecting and then publishing art ephemera, resulted inexplicably in my Bbox and i giving birth to a beautiful little index!
Check out The Motels Sisters interview by crawl:
The indexed link for The Motels Sisters interview is in my Bboxx, within the post: 'Month End Minutes (hurry, hurry, hurry!)' , (published Thursday, September 25, 2008), underneath the sub-heading "*/SYDNEY - NSW".

Melbourne can’t cut it against the Port...
The multiple award-winning Look Both Ways makes a welcome return to Port Adelaide, where it was filmed. Directed by Sarah Watt (My Year Without Sex) and starring Justine Clarke (Danny Deckchair, Play School, All Saints), William McInnes (SeaChange, Kath and Kim, Blue Heelers), Lisa Flanagan (Black and White, All Saints, Australian Rules) and featuring many South Australian actors in other roles, it will screen at the historic Waterside Theatre next Sunday June 27th .
WHO: Vitalstatistix Theatre Company & Lisa Hill
WHAT: Bughouse Flicks (Film Program)
WHEN: Every second Saturday from June 27th to August 8th 2009
WHERE: Waterside Theatre, 11 Nile Street, Port Adelaide, SA.
HOW MUCH: $12 (full), $10 (concession) $8 (children 12 & under) INCLUDES SOUP & BREAD.
All tickets $8 for Dot and The Kangaroo
Look Both Ways is the first film to be screened as part of the Bughouse Flicks program by Vitalstatistix Theatre Company. The diverse program, curated by Lisa Hill, features all Australian films, each screening with a short film complementing the theme of the feature. Hill’s own animated short film, Checking In, will screen before Look Both Ways.
Hill chose Look Both Ways because it is Australian-made, written, directed, filmed in and featuring Vitals’ own backyard, Port Adelaide and Semaphore.
Look Both Ways Director, Sarah Watt, said:
"We loved shooting Look Both Ways in Adelaide and particularly the area around Port Adelaide. I found it quite beautiful, diverse and the community was so supportive to us, it was a pleasure to spend the time there and the perfect home for Meryl and Nick. It’s wonderful that the film is still getting screenings. Hopefully it might even inspire people to also see our new film, My Year Without Sex, just to see that those Melbourne locations can't cut it against the Port.”
Bighouse Flicks program curator Lisa Hill has a personal connection with the second film The Black Balloon; “It’s a film dear to my heart, because my family circumstances were similar to those of the characters". This is a quality product from Australian producers, and one which was missed by many when first released.
Of all the films, Black and White is probably the least known “-a heart-wrenching and historic story with themes that remain relevant today. I programmed it to give more Australians an opportunity to see it."
Dot and the Kangaroo has now been seen by several generations. “Based on a newspaper article from the early 1900s, the animated foregrounds and filmed backgrounds were a unique combination at the time of production and it really is Australia's own Bambi. This screening will enable a new generation of Australian children to enjoy it for the first time, while their parents and grandparents enjoy this incredibly sweet story again.”
The atmosphere will be homely, with bean bags provided, a mug of hot home-made soup on arrival (included in the ticket price), the pop corn will be flowing and the bar open.

un Magazine has recently had all of its issues indexed. The index reads like a ‘who, what, where’ of contemporary art in Melbourne since 2004. Looking at the magazine’s content in this way gives a sense of the archive it contributes to. In some cases un has provided the only published review of a particular show, or the first feature on an artist, and for dozens of new art writers it has been the site of their first published work.

More than Big Words from the Format Collective
(who are they?)
Who knows?! A few names spring immediately to mind but what really stands out is the festival; the Format Collective ran the Format DIY Festival in March 2009 in Adelaide, during Fringe Festival.
"After we ran the festival, a lot of people told us that Adelaide needed more events and spaces that drew together those with an interest in DIY, participatory culture, activism and the arts. We agreed and decided we should start organising things" said Format Festival 2009 Director, Dr Ianto Ware.
"We also thought it might be nice if the youth arts dollar actually went into something useful, so we talked to the 2% arts collective, our pals at Merge Magazine, Georgie Davill - Industry Development Project Manager at Carclew, and a bunch of indie publishers and writers, and Big Words", (the second festival to be organised by Format Collective this year in Adelaide), "is the outcome," Ware said.
Big Words is a showcase and networking event for people interested in Do-It-Yourself [DIY], non-professional and artist-run approaches to publishing, text and multi-disciplinary art platforms.
The Big Words Program opened with a one night 6pm-Midnight show of 'heaps good art' curated by Chloe Langford of the 2% art collective @ Queen's Theatre on June 3, and on June 7 the exciting opening of the Format Zine Shop @ 23 Peel Street, Adelaide.

We are currently seeking experimental moving image and cinematic work of all kinds for screening and installation at this twice-annual event series. Our first presentation of selected works took place on February 23 at the Mercury Cinema, Adelaide, SA. These are non-competitive but well documented events and all participants receive copies of the event program and press coverage.
We are looking to represent the quality and diversity of current experimental work, and will receive works of any length. Bear in mind however, works under 20 minutes in duration are much easier to program. Feature length films will be considered for additional off-line events.
CRITIQUE OPPORTUNITY:
In addition to the entry of your film via vimeo or postal submission, you can request a critical appraisal of the work from us, Dan Monceaux and Emma Sterling. This will be useful to have when further promoting and publicising your work, and critique opportunities are scarce for experimental filmmakers.
