Senses of Cinema(2022)

This archival treasure trove chronicles the rise and role of Melbourne and Sydney filmmaking cooperatives in the 1960s and 1970s.

Senses of Cinema is a documentary that traces how grassroots film movements reshaped cinema as civil rights transformed globally. During this pivotal era, filmmakers challenged mainstream conventions in radically different ways: some experimented with form and pushed technical boundaries, while others confronted what they viewed as an industry lacking diversity. These movements interrogated fundamental questions about gender, sexuality, migration, and race through their work. The film explores how independent and avant-garde cinema became a vehicle for social and political change, documenting the artists and collectives who refused to accept homogenous storytelling. Senses of Cinema captures a crucial moment when the screen became a battleground for representation and artistic innovation.
