What drives us to create – and what happens when art becomes inseparable from life?
FOUR FEATURE FILMS | FOUR FILMS for $40.00
w/ the River of Art FESTIVAL PASS (or usual individual ticket price), multiple screenings offered over 10 days.
This specially selected film program takes us into the lives and worlds of musicians, visual artists, sculptors and creative collaborators. From the competing egos of four virtuoso musicians and Yayoi Kusama’s extraordinary determination to make her mark on the art world, to an Icelandic artist navigating family and relationships, and the irreverent creative force behind one of Australia’s most distinctive art-school bands.
Together, the four films explore ambition, collaboration, identity, relationships and the compulsion to create – a celebration of the many different ways art is made and lived.
KUSAMA – INFINITY
Visual Art · Sculpture · Installation · Fashion
An intimate portrait of Yayoi Kusama and the extraordinary persistence behind one of contemporary art’s most recognisable careers. From conservative rural Japan to the New York art world, the film reveals an artist driven by an unwavering need to create – and to be seen.
THE MUSICIANS
Music · Performance · Collaboration
A witty French comedy about four virtuoso musicians brought together to perform on a priceless quartet of Stradivarius instruments. There’s just one problem: they can’t stand each other. A playful look at artistic ego, collaboration and the challenge of creating something extraordinary together.
THE LOVE THAT REMAINS
Art · Sculpture · Life
Against the spectacular Icelandic landscape, artist Anna and fisherman Magnús navigate the slow unravelling of their marriage. Beautiful, funny and quietly unconventional, the film explores creativity alongside family, love and the everyday realities of an artist’s life.
LIVE IT UP: THE MENTAL AS ANYTHING STORY
Music · Visual Art · Australian Culture
More than a story about a band. Mental as Anything emerged from art school with music, painting, design and an unmistakably Australian sense of humour all part of the mix. Warm, funny and moving, Live It Up celebrates the creative friendships and irreverent spirit behind one of Australia’s most distinctive cultural forces.
