Static Vision invite you to Golden Age Cinema and Bar, September 22, 2024, for 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 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 Passed, a deeply-personal, autofictive 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.

Our program runs from 1pm, with individual session tickets priced at $24 ($19.50 for concessions - self-reported, don't worry, we won't check).

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. You can explore the full program here.
