“When we started Static Vision, our main goal was to bring out audacious and experimental films that were either too small, too challenging or off-the-radar of Sydney’s general Festival circuit”
Capturing "the Fantastic Cinema Spirit;' Building Fantastic Film Festival Australia
“The thing that I found so exciting about programming the festival was that for a film to be a piece of fantastic cinema it doesn’t need to align with any conventional festival criteria”
Film Fight Club S4E5: Static Vision's Hyperlinks
Where we chat all things Hyperlinks with Static Vision’s Felix Hubble and a new Fest to look forward to this weekend at Pink Flamingo!
Film Fight Club S4E4: Oscars, Emma., Uncut Gems, The True History of the Kelly Gang and What Did Jack Do?
Where we fight about gold statues, pearls of Austen, diamonds in the Aussie rough, whatever Lynch has unearthed and uncut, gems with Louise Easson
Uncut Gems
Very possibly Adam Sandler’s best turn, he’s far from alone
Film Fight Club S4E3: The Lighthouse, The Two Popes, Dolemite Is My Name & Midway
Where we go round the twist with Robert Eggers, learn some Latin, meet the original disaster artist and code-break in our slippers
The Lighthouse
It was weird
Dolemite Is My Name
He’s back. No Eddie Murphy never actually went away, but he’s definitely back
The Two Popes
Better situated in theatre, Anthony Hopkins’ and Jonathan Pryce’s effective duologue suggests an affectionate rapport between (respectively) Pope Benedict XVI and, be it 2012, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio; later Pope Francis
The Gentlemen
Sounding vaguely like English and very much like Guy Ritchie, the Director’s latest comes very fresh off his first foray into Agrabah
Film Fight Club S4E2: A Hidden Life, 1917, The Gentlemen, A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood & Bombshell
Where we Malick, Mendes, Ritchie, Heller and Roach
Film Fight Club S4E1: Little Women, Bad Boys for Life, Sorry We Missed You, The Truth, Rise of Skywalker (spoilers)
Where we fight about our favourite double, Little Women and Bad Boys, are Sorry We Missed You over the summer, share some Truth, spend a few minutes on the Oscars and spoil the hell out of the new Star War
A Hidden Life
There’s something really important (mostly) missing from A Hidden Life; peculiar for a film with so much
1917
The novelty and talking point of the Oscar front-runner being cinematographer Roger Deakins’ powerful gauntlet throw…
The Report
You probably know the story, and if you don’t The Report really, really thinks you should
Bad Boys for Life
I’m supposed to talk about Bad Boys for Life, and we’ll get there
Flickerfest Lands in Sydney and Set to Tour Nationally
Now entering year 29, Flickerfest has launched into action at its local home and mainstay the Bondi Pavilion
Jojo Rabbit
The problem with ‘Jojo Rabbit’ isn’t that it’s offensive. It isn’t offensive, it’s just that it’s not especially good
Jumanji: The Next Level
It’s good – don’t be too surprised
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Fans will be pleased, they said, it’s for the fans, they said
