Liberation Cinema returns with three films responding to Māori filmmaker and academic Barry Barclay’s idea of “Fourth Cinema”. Defined by and defending the notion of Indigenous filmmaking (Fourth Cinema) - that sits beyond the constraints of a “First” or ”Third“ world framework. In a 2003 lecture, he concluded « I hope that, in the not too distant future, some practitioner or academic will ... begin a talk on Fourth Cinema which begins at this very point, rather than ends on it.» We pick up where he left off ~

Marungka Tjalatjunu (Dipped in Black)
Directors: Derik Lynch and Matthew Thorne
A cinematic memoir of queer Yankunytjatjara Man, Derik Lynch. Following his return to Aputula Country, Marungka Tjalatjunu is a union between biographical details with truthful, vivid recreation.The multitudes of Lynch’s life – From survival in hostile white Adelaide, his relationship to his Anangu Mob, the hold of his childhood trauma – are depicted with the potency of a healing remedy. truly, It is Lynch’s immense openness that gives the film its poetic weight and depth. Returning to Country serves as an antidote to colonial tyranny.

Incredible poster design by Kata Szász-Komlós @tiny_handsz
visited by a little bird man in my dreams who showed me how he plays his own nest into existence; golden trumpet blowing coils of soft green arms, enveloping us both in its warmth.
maybe you too if you’d like it to.
next Thursday night Jancsi returns to warm the hearth of Lewis’s album launch. a truly beautiful album. I will be sharing something new, for those in need of a little transcendence, momentary meditative altered state, the words of Atilla József;
the thinning veil blown aside by drone
maybe something silly too if you’re paying attention
see u there yeah? In a home in earlwood
2025 the (half)year of sterling; some make the argument for minimising material attachments to “things” lest we remain rigid in our wanting but I don’t think those people have ever driven my car; 2025 is accented by driving the first car; with friends, visiting nagyika / helping family with ease, driving around to play shows with my leather suitcase of toys, so so much swimming in new places, lending sterling to wheel-less friends, finding new walks, the inevitable welcoming of horizons. listening to Ryan Davis “Dancing on the edge” cassette an impossible amount, bordering on embarrassing. (remembering my first car, in the near and distant future, will always bring me back to this album. A perfect driving album). I think someone could write someting about virgos and cars but I won’t attempt it; the second half of a year defined(in part) personally by movement, forward momentum, being of service being silly
top driving cassettes:
1. Ryan Davis & the roadhouse band
2. Kispál es a Borz
3. VIPP
4. Miranda Spatula
5. Arthur Russell
6. Champion Racehorse
7. Good Moon
Jancsi - Loch Doon, Passing place.
A song for Slipping's inaugural tape compilation
‘Ardeer Peninsula' 15 songs of guitar music.
a one-take lapsteel and nylon string ode to this special place. fell in love with the old stones of the castle ruins of Loch Doon, all alone and licked by lichen; it once sat in the centre of the loch on an island but was moved to the waters edge in early 1900’s to protect it from rising water levels. stone by stone.
the song was inspired by a phone recording of a makeshift lithophone i made from rubbing fallen stones across the ashlar granite of the arched window, overlooking the loch. the ruins are 825years old, the local stones themselves even older. as memory keepsakes i collected a few sprigs of wild flowers and made some rubbings from the castle walls; with charcoal i found by the waters edge, an old fire probably made by stoned travellers, passing through.
really happy to have designed the cover too, to have worked with new friends across the seas and that i'm on here with the likes of People Skills, Memotone, Amateur Hour and Craggyland and many incredible artists. thanks to Steven for the trust and opportunity!
i made a video clip for this song that you can find on youtube if you type in: Jancsi - Loch Doon, Passing Place
or maybe link in bio for the tape too
thanks for tuning in. I can’t stress how bad this song sounds through iPhone speakers. don’t do it lol
the great book of life; one day we will all look back over our own pages, read the passages and paragraphs of the time allotted to us and make peace with (or be harrowed by)the ways we wrote our story and in turn, the collective story. I think all those who have remained silent, removed or on the fence, centering the comfort of warmonger’s & religious fanatics who believe g*noc*de is an unfortunate price for the safety of a “chosen peoples” and an apartheid ethno-state.. those who refuse to look or learn from the past. I think they all will reckon with their passage through this life, the pages will be heavy, maybe not here, maybe not now but one day…
read widely move from your humanity look in the mirror look outside the mirror find the love/action needed keep growing; make your(our) book worthy of the great temporary gift of life
