The Survival of Kindness
2022 Rolf de Heer Australia 110min M English

The Survival of Kindness has static elements of an art installation, a non-narrative dream state that is part arresting, part frustrating. It sometimes feels as if its events and encounters could be reshuffled and shown in any order, and on occasion it is spinning its wheels dramatically. Yet there is a real intensity to the film, especially at the very beginning in which BlackWoman’s eyes and hands loom in extreme closeup (a visual mannerism that is not used in the rest of the film). It is an elegant reverie about the violence and the stoicism beneath the surface of ordinary life.

The Giants
2023 Rachel Antony, Laurence Billiet Australia 110min M English
A poetic, cinematic portrait of Bob Brown, the Forest, and of our profound connection with trees.The Giants explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this cinematic portrait of environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who took green politics to the centre of power. From a seedling to forest elder The Giants interweaves Bob’s story with the life cycle of the ancient trees he is fighting for.
The hidden life of the forest is brought to life by cameras rigged high in the tree canopy, immersive point cloud animation generated from 3D tree scans, and thought-provoking insights by the likes of David Suzuki and Merlin Sheldrake.
Drawing on Bob’s lifetime of activism, from the Franklin to the Tarkine, The Giants ignites an urgent conversation about the right of the Forest to exist and challenges the audience to write the next chapter.
