CALLING ACTORS, VOCAL PERFORMERS - CREATIVE OPPORT

CALLING ACTORS, VOCAL PERFORMERS - CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY. RAISE YOUR VOICES! @physicaltv Loop Group Recording Session at @soundfirmpost (near Green Square Train Station).

Join us this FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 3, between 12 and 5pm, to record the voices for Karen Pearlman's new feminist films BREAKING PLATES and IMPOSSIBLE IMAGE, set to screen across France and elsewhere from March, 2023. French speakers are particularly welcome, but we are to open all other languages, including English. All genders, but leaning in to women, as most of the performers we are voicing are women.

A fun and creative opportunity for actors and other performers who like to use their voices. Get valuable experience, and build your confidence, in ADR (additional dialogue recording or automatic dialog replacement) at one of Australia’s leading post production houses. As a non-commercial arts project, this is a volunteer opportunity, but we only need a few hours of your time, and you will receive onscreen and IMDb credits.

Please DM or email your cv and availability as soon as possible to PhysicalTV@gmail.com.

If you can’t make it, but want to support this celebration of women’s creative agency, please consider making a donation through @documentaryaustralia: https://documentaryaustralia.com.au/?post_type=product&p=24865

To get an idea of @karenpearlman’s previous multi-award-winning work, watch I WANT TO MAKE A FILM ABOUT WOMEN. Its run on @sbsondemand has been extended for just a few more weeks to coincide with International Women’s Day: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/i-want-to-make-a-film-about-women/1963270211652

Where do those train tracks lead? If nowhere else,

Where do those train tracks lead? If nowhere else, to the Flying Islands Book Launch!

Kevin Smith is a poet of gentle, and not so gentle, lyrical narratives. It is not surprising that, like one of his mentors, @marktredinnick , he is winning prizes and short-listings. His sensitive stories of love and loss resonate effortlessly. His new book with Flying Island Books, ANOTHER DAY, is a study in empathy.

ANOTHER DAY will be launched, along with 7 other wonderful new Flying Island books, on Saturday February 4, 5-8pm, at The Shop Gallery 112 Glebe Point Road Glebe. @sesquitria

Yannis Rentzos (@Yannis Dramitinos) was born in Cr

Yannis Rentzos (@Yannis Dramitinos) was born in Crete and a deeply European sensibility pervates his poetry of melancholy.

Avant-garde poets, composers and filmmakers, like Rimbaud, Stavinksy, Pasolini, appear in the verses, along with 20th century masters who got lost in the darkest of arts, Pound, guru of modernism, and Goebbels, guru of propaganda. DIVERTENTE AND OTHER POEMS is not a idle diversion but is “a receptacle of tragedy" - “Something that you hold onto, and when you pull / it tears your flesh / that is what we call beauty”.

DIVERTENTE AND OTHER POEMS is a bilingual edition, the original Greek sitting opposite the English, a collaboration with Anna Couani, who translated Yannis’ rough drafts into verse.

After the intensity of its startling fragments, the final photopoem montage ‘Walk in Waverly’ is an ironically wistful release into airy, unfathomable beauty of graveyards.

DIVERTENTE AND OTHER POEMS will be launched, along with 7 other wonderful new Flying Island books, on Saturday February 4, 5-8pm, at The Shop Gallery 112 Glebe Point Road Glebe. @sesquitria

Vaughan Rapatahana’s new poetry book with Flying

Vaughan Rapatahana’s new poetry book with Flying Islands is a text at war with itself. Most bilingual texts have a complex relationship of affection and gentle misunderstanding, but his ‘te pahikahikatanga / incommensurability’ is positively fuming in its confrontation between the Colonial language, English, and his own first language, Māori. Reading the book is like holding a live firecracker, not like at some tired celebration of a centuries old national struggle, more like the day that gunpowder was invented and seared its creator’s hand, but left a thought lingering in their eyes about how it might be used.
 
Product warning: ‘te pahikahikatanga / incommensurability’ Two systems that don’t fit together. Sleepy English Speakers: Handle with Care.

There is no way but to say it, Jill McKeowen’s S

There is no way but to say it, Jill McKeowen’s SUNDAY MORNING, HERE, recently published by Flying Islands, is a deeply poignant book, a detailed and tender set of observations of the unconscious moments and rituals of a life, seen later from the perspective of their transience. It might be argued that this is the essence of the poet’s task, to preserve the perfect, tender, delicious and awkward moments, but to see them again, from a deeper perspective than was possible at the time. This book is an exemplar of William Wordsworth’s adage: ‘Poetry takes its origin from emotions recollected in tranquility’. And it is all the more poignant, since the poet herself has now passed, leaving us this beautifully layered transcript of her experience.

SUNDAY MORNING, HERE will be launched by Jill’s devoted friend, Jean Kent, along with 7 other new Flying Islands Books, on Saturday February 4, from 5-8pm, at The Shop Gallery, 112 Glebe Point Road. @sesquitria

"It's a bit of a horror show when you first go in"

"It's a bit of a horror show when you first go in", writes David Grant Lloyd in his poem about an abattoir, but by the end, as he watches the blood he is hosing melt down the concrete walls, he realises "this is how everything works". D.G.Lloyd's first book, ALIVE IN DUBBO, co-winner of the Flying Islands Poetry Community Inc's inaugural Poetry Manuscript Prize Competition, is a cold-eyed tour de force, poetry as unflinching social realism. Did you want to go to Dubbo? Now's your chance...

ALIVE IN DUBBO will be launched, along with 7 other wonderful new Flying Island books, on Saturday February 4, 5-8pm, at The Shop Gallery 112 Glebe Point Road Glebe. @sesquitria

What does it feel like to know you are dead?

"@parishmalfitano makes a strong debut as a feature film writer and director with this tragically beautiful tale of mental anguish and repressed trauma. A spectacular performance from @richardjamesallen who captures all the little moments of someone who has suffered a traumatic event in his life and how his way of processing the events are doing more harm than good. Trippy, drug induced cinematography [@nlp47 / @avanamois] and editing [Shannon Michaelas / @karenpearlman] add to Hans’ descent into the abyss...” - @strangedove, INTO:SCREENS
