International Quality of Film and Art for Free
Darwin International Film Festival (DIFF) is coming to town from the 14 to 25 September 2017.
Art House is DIFF's art program, which lets artists break free from the traditional art form. DIFF will host Mats Unden (Darwin based artist and musician originally from Sweden) and also Lanjani Marika (the oldest living member of the Rirratjingu clan in East Arnhem Land). Mats Unden will transform Northern Centre for Contemporary Art's (NCAA) screening room into a place to experience sound and light and transform electronic noise combined with beautiful dance by Bryn Wackett.
Some interesting workshops also will be held for free. Amongst them are Screen Territory: Meet the Director and NT Film-makers Network. Meet Sally Ingleton, the Screen Territory Director, for informal Q&A to know more about how to best take advantage of government support to the screen industry. This free event will be taking place at Charles Darwin University Business School on Saturday 16th September 2017 at 4pm for about 1 hour. Penelope Patton, the NT Film-makers Network Administrator, will be hosting the NT Film-makers Network at Deckchair Cinema on Sunday 17th September 2017, starting at 5.30pm. NT Filmmakers Network will create connections and opportunities in the film industry by connecting filmmakers with their peers across the Northern Territory.
These exciting free programs will help Darwinians and visitors to experience DIFF without digging too deep in their pockets. For more information, go to their official website diff.net.au.
