The Road to Victory

Collingwood Football Club, the most famous sporting club in Australia. Despite being the major headliner through the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, Collingwood had not tasted the ultimate success since 1958. The Road to Victory has been tough and laced with emotion and ridicule... for 32 years. In 1990 however, the hoodoo was finally broken. The Road to Victory follows the build up throughout the season, and the ultimate success and scenes of unbridled joy as the most loved and hated football club took the grand prize at last.

Funeral Procession of New Zealand Premier R.J. Seddon

When New Zealand’s longest-serving prime minister, Richard John Seddon, suddenly took ill and died during his voyage home from a diplomatic trip to Australia, the country went into mourning. A national hero, Seddon had presided over New Zealand’s decision not to join the Australian Federation in 1901, was responsible for the institution of old-age pensions, and was a champion of miners and the native Maori people. Thousands lined the streets of Wellington for his funeral cortège on 21 June 1906. Led by a brass band playing a specially composed funeral march, the horse-drawn carriage was followed by Seddon’s family, along with various dignitaries and government officials, as it made its way through the capital to St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Charles Lloyd is an Australian artist whom we met in Sydney. He began working with printmaking when he moved to London around 1960. The film showcases his drypoint etching technique, then moves on to printing with a multicolor plate. Lloyd discusses the endless possibilities of plate engraving and then shows how he develops a color philosophy for each plate during the grading and printing process. The film ends with an overview of his prints as he discusses the ideas behind his work, many of which come from the Australian landscape. The film takes us from these images to a final sequence of animated printed details interspersed with a composition of electronic, musical, and natural sounds. The film is essentially a documentary, but we felt the need to include a more experimental coda that would free us from the confines of documentary. (Arthur Cantrill & Corinne Cantrill)
