We plan to screen two free films, both with a focus on the
mining industry in Australia:
* 'Born to Die' by Mary Wilton (1974), running time 48 min
* 'Open Cut' by Phil Burke and Philippa Campey (2004), 26 min. Phil will at the event to talk about the film.
Born to Die (1974)
This film documents the many sides of controversy surrounding the decision to demolish the flourishing town of Yallourn, Vicotoria, in order to mine the rich coal deposits lying beneath. Born to Die has
rarely been screened as it was withheld from public release upon its completion. It was an early Australian example of direct cinema or cinema verite - a style Mary Wilton was exposed to while working on
films in the early 70s. Mary never made another film.
Open Cut (2004)
"I don't have a home town, I have an archive. If I want to visit Yallourn, I watch a movie."
Using the extensive archival recordings of this once model town, Filmmaker Phil Burke re-visits his home town of Yallourn and explores some of the issues which led to its destruction.
