Double Feature Screening: Rolf de Heer’s Cinematic Visions
Rolf de Heer is a distinguished Dutch-Australian filmmaker, renowned for his unique and provocative approach to cinema.
Two of de Heer’s notable films, The Tracker and The Survival of Kindness, showcase his talent for addressing complex social issues.
11am - In the award-winning "The Tracker", the year is 1922 and The Tracker (David Gulpilil, Walkabout, Rabbit-Proof Fence) has the job of pursuing The Fugitive – an aborigine who is suspected of murdering a white woman – as he leads three mounted policemen: The Fanatic, The Follower and also The Veteran across the outback.
1pm - Screening with "The Survival of Kindness", his most recent work. The Survival of Kindness uses allegory to analyze race and privilege, as it follows protagonist BlackWoman (Mwajemi Hussein), abandoned in a cage in the middle of the desert.
Following her escape, she walks through pestilence and persecution, from desert to mountain to city, only to find more captivity. The Survival of Kindness’s narrative and visual impact offers a stark portrayal of societal collapse in opposition to human kindness and resilience as embodied by BlackWoman.
