Revelation Film Festival

We’re suckers for quality American indies – we love the Duplass brothers, Lynn Shelton always had a place in our heart and Andre Bujalski was with us way back when. So, it’s with great pleasure we welcome into the family the substantial wit and craft of Cooper Raiff with this SXSW Grand Jury Prize winner, Freshman Year (known in the US as Shithouse).

Written, directed by and starring Raiff, this off-kilter romantic comedy of sorts tells the story of LA freshman and fish out of water Alex, who’s struggling to cope with college away from his mother and sister with whom he’s very close. Along with his chalk and cheese roommate, Alex meets Maggie at a party and… well I wouldn’t say sparks fly, but the two bounce off each other like balls on a pool table. But for Alex, things don’t quite work out as he may have thought or expected.

Along the way though we’re taken on a journey filled with spunky and sparkling dialogue, authentic performances and genuine emotion. Raiff pulls off an incredibly appealing work that’s hard not to bring a smile to the face and with a sly wink and wry smile, hands us what is potentially one of the indie gems of the year.

Join us for our fabulous opening night celebrations at Luna Cinemas in Leederville for this special screening and after-party with complimentary wines from West Cape Howe Wines, beers from Feral Brewing Co, fabulous finger food from Tastescape and an awesome projection on the Luna facade!

Screens with the short film Life.

Come to the Australian Premiere of OH, IT HERTZ! at Revelation Perth International Film Festival!

Vocalist Laurie Amat takes a journey into the ways in which sound affects us. Her quest starts with the conspiracy theory that in 1939 the Nazis were able to change the global standard frequency of the A tone to 440 Hertz.

Talking to experts in sound, sound artists and electronic composers, Laurie Amat begins to explore how sound can be used to heal, to transform emotions, and be used as a weapon, in a quest that is by turns fascinating, bizarre, and illuminating, Amat meets electronic musician Yoko Sen, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie and many others.

Gunnar Hall Jensen’s documentary has drawn comparisons to the documentary works of Werner Herzog,

“A good Herzog documentary combines the weird with the wondrous; the far-out with the philosophical; and the scientific with the sentimental. All these qualifications apply to Oh It Hertz! as well” (Business Dox Europe).

Additional screenings on Sunday 4 July at 5:45PM and Saturday 10 July at 3:30PM.

In celebration of NAIDOC week 2021, Screenarts and the SLWA present free lunchtime screenings of incredible Indigenous documentary.

This captivating blend of comedy, adventure and instructional film shows the Bush Mechanics who come from the remote Warlpiri community of Yuendumu as they travel through the desert in their clapped-out vehicles; they solve multiple car problems with wacky and inventive bush repair techniques.
On Saturday, there is a special double bill featuring the documentary opener Jupurrurla – Man of Media which follows the story of the director and producer of Bush Mechanics Warlpiri Elder and lawman Francis Jupurrurla Kelly – a pioneer of Indigenous filmmaking in central Australia. Followed by the last episode of Bush Mechanics.

The film is delivered via the memories of those involved, stills, archive and extensive dramatization. An award-winning documentary on post-war race relations in Australia.
