Static Vision present a four-film survey of recent North American cinema, showcasing one film per city (at least, tangentially) exploring different shades of contemporary relationships, from emerging voices in our current cinematic landscape.

The festival kicks off with the Australian premiere of Kit Zauhar's Philadelphia-set SXSW-fave This Closeness, a neo-mumblecore, ASMR, closed-room relationship-breakdown psycho-drama, followed by the Australian theatrical premiere of prolific LA-film scenester Al Warren's Dogleg, an incomplete by-design missing-dog farce featuring cameo appearances from Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario) and cult critic/screenwriter Nick Pinkerton (The Sweet East). The long-awaited VIC premiere of Joanna Arnow's Cannes-premiering The Feeling That The Time For Doing Something Has ed, a New York-set deeply-personal, auto-fictive BDSM comedy, screens third, before the long-awaited Australian premiere of Canadian wunderkind Nate Wilson's cult undergrounder The All Golden, an absolutely deranged, experimental polyamory soap opera.

As always, our event plays out across a single screen, with no clashes, so you can rabbit-hole in and fully immerse yourself in the neo-intimacies on-screen.
