The Periphery Strikes Back

A programme of the National Museum Cinémathèque
19 – 20 November 2007
7.30pm
Gallery Theatre
$8 (students enjoy a 20% concession)

The Periphery Strikes Back is the National Museum’s 120th Anniversary film programme which highlights the relationship between colonialism and the formation of museums. The programme also examines the different ways which the East and West view and influence each other through the medium of film.

This selection includes The Island of Demons (1933) by Friedrich Dalsheim, Viktor von Plessen and Walter Spies – a classic film which reinforced the early representation of Balinese culture by the West, and the powerful Indonesia Calling (1946) by Joris Ivens – one of the earliest anti-colonialist documentaries ever made.

Rounding off the programme is the inventive, magical and politically incisive Perfumed Nightmare (1978) by Filipino filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik – a semi-autobiographical film on his awakening to the American cultural colonialism and his subsequent reaction.

A straight-to-video release here and possibly one of Goyer's unexpectandly low-key output. Just don't let the tagline fool you. Review is visible right here...
