queerDOC - Day Four (part 1)

‘WHITE PEOPLE’S BUSINESS’ Dirs: Diana Dacic and Melissa Seelenmeyer, Australia, 2001, Beta SP, 26 mins (75% full) score: 4 out of 5 The premiere screening of an interesting film about non-indigenous involvement in the reconciliation movement that among other things asks “Now that we’ve walked across the Harbour Bridge, what do we do?” ‘A FIELD GUIDE TO WESTERN WILDFLOWERS’ Dir: Wayne Yung, Canada, 2000, Beta SP, 6 mins (75% full) score: 4 out of 5 A 6 minute kiss of 63 men, with flowers, go figure. Cute, charming and fascinating. ‘DIFFERENT SHADES OF PINK’ Dir: Alexander Ku, Australia, 2001, Beta SP, 45 mins (75% full) score: 3 out of 5 The premiere screening of a local doco about mixed relationships. This film starts well but I think it got a little tired about half way through. For more information about queerDOC 2001 or Queer Screen.
