Following from the screening of "Journey to the End of Night" last week...

 


Hello good friends, this is by way of a big thanks to everyone who came to the event and to Bill Mousoulis, Chris Luscri for all their work.


I also want to thank Bill for his kind effort to re-sync the film as it was a few frames out on the night, which was made more apparent by the large screen magnification.


And a very special thank you to Adrian Martin for his commentary on the film which was wonderful!


From my point of view the evening was a huge success, meeting many old friends, some of whom had seen the film way back, and new friends who had not seen it previously.


I've been thinking about some issues like our friends who live interstate or overseas who could not see the film, and for those of you who would like to have a personal copy of the restored film at your disposal.


Herein lies a problem: like a number of my films this film is with the publisher "Bloomsbury" and I don't want to erode their rights to distribute the film as per the contract. 

I simply can't make it open for public viewing.

I hope they won't mind me sharing it with a few friends.


This is what I am going to do, I'll send a link to any of you who request it. I don't expect that will be everyone, I think it will be fewer than half the number we have on our emailing list.


Please email me and let me know if you would like to receive the link to the restored film:

Thanks to everyone who attended, it was such a great night!

    Such a good night i will remember for a long time, and one that i hope will resonate as an inspiration for my young teacher friend who came along with me; the inspiration of a great teacher and one of the most creative minds out there... still creating. Bravo Peter!

    Well Bobbyboy, there have been more developments since the screening. I'm creating a new blog which will include photos and info people from the Casterton area have sent me, some updated information concerning the young men who accompanied Bill Neave in the time of the fall of Rabaul. But I'm still working on that post, so you'll just have to be patient... pt

Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.

Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe                                                                                                      February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was.  Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

Maria Korporal: An Introduction to Her Work

Image
Darko has recently introduced me to multimedia artist  Maria Korporal. Of Dutch origin, Maria   lived   in Italy  for many years but she has lived and worked in Berlin  since 2014 . Her artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations. Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work which together with the directness of the images and the sounds leads to greater participation of the viewer. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach. A good example is her project Korporal Zoo , a series of video works made between 2010 and 2018, which observe the animal and human world from several perspectives: cultural, social, environmental.  Over the last two years Maria experienced the...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
