Fresh, Local Cinema
What do a rat-fancying ballerina, a Polish vodka bar manager, a Kiwi dog walker and a burlesque lingerie-styling millinery shop employee have in common? They all live in Glen Eira.
I recently went to the premiere of 8K Radius at the Classic Cinema in Elsternwick. What is it? Well I'll tell you. 8K Radius is nine mini-documentaries, each three minutes long, about local people in the city of Glen Eira. It was released as part of the Glen Eira Storytelling festival in conjunction with the Classic CInema.
Clayton Jacobson (Kenny), directed this work and it is truly something extraordinary. It blew me away. Such masterful cinematography in telling these fascinating stories of these ordinary people.
I went to the Q&A for this event and really got an insight of how everything came along and how it all came together. The owner of the cinema, Eddie Tamir, says ''Our criterion was not necessarily famous or worthy people, just people who could be living in your street, who you walk by every day but if you gave them the time, they would open up this whole world that was interesting and surprising.''
The characters are so fresh and interesting and with his first project after the successful Australian film Kenny, Clayton Jacobson demonstrates how talented he really is.
Its truly a must see as these individual three-minute shorts will run before main features at the Classic in July and August.
Go and see this incredible fresh idea of hyper-local cinema. Its worth it.
