Striking Contrasts presents an exploration into the division between film making and fine art practice in the work of contemporary Australian artists. Some push the boundaries of what we might understand to be “documentary” or “narrative” film, while others work with existing or “found” footage to transform it into something completely new. Striking Contrasts explores these two parallel and distinctive aesthetic tendencies which have emerged out of film and video art practice in Australia in recent years.
