Carlton + Godard = Cinema Screener

Buesst's leisurely, intimate and at times quite personal documentary on the '60s & early '70s independent Melbourne filmmaking scene centred in Carlton is one of the most significant cinematic contributions to Australian film history. A kind of underground chronicle of a period widely assumed to not have produced any filmmaking, it is a testament to the perseverance & energy of this important but neglected scene. It includes generous excerpts from such rarely screened but seminal works as Mangiamele's Clay, Yackety Yack, Buesst's own work & a string of films (Pudding Thieves, Hey Al Baby) made under the auspices of MUFS, the Melbourne Cinémathčque's galant predecessor.

The film premiered at the St. Kilda Film Festival on Sunday, June 1, 2003.
