PART I of this months Drop In
@ the ACS HQ as cinematographers Bonnie Elliott ACS and Gotaro Uematsu discuss their collaborations working with visual artists to create moving image installations.
Collaborating with visual artists can bring so many different concepts and techniques to the creation of moving image works. Cinematographers Bonnie Elliott ACS and Gotaro Uematsu are both well versed in this world, and will talk about the delights and demands of working in this sphere.

Bonnie’s long standing collaboration of ten years with video artist Angelica Mesiti led to a culmination of many approaches and shared experiences in shooting ASSEMBLY, a three channel installation for the Australian Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale, which explores musical performance, language and translation, and the possibilities of democratic space. She has also shot video work for Justene Williams, as has Gotaro, who also has long standing collaborations with artists Mike Parr, TV Moore, and Shaun Gladwell.
In 2009 Gladwell represented Australia at the Venice Biennale, with MADDESTMAXIMVS, shot by Gotaro in Broken Hill, which utilises feats of physical performance to explore the boundaries and possibilities of a human relationship to the Australian landscape, and channels the iconography of the Mad Max films.
Gotaro also works as an installation manager and general trouble-shooter for artists in the technical realm.
But wait there's more...

Invitation | Re:Frame - Audience Engagement in the Attention Economy
|
|
|
When: Wednesday 30 October, 6:00pm
Where: AFTRS, The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park
Audience is a buzzword again. But no longer is it just bums on seats (or eyeballs on screens) – we’re talking data, demand and drivers; changes in a screen and broadcast industry that is coming to grips with ‘big data’ and human-centred design, that are likely to have a serious impact over the coming decades.
Our third Re:Frame event seeks to unearth new thinking and to consider questions about how new technologies, new platforms and new demands are changing the ways that we conceive and create content.
What do these rapid and dramatic shifts mean for Australian creatives today? And what new challenges do we face? What opportunities arise from this fast moving, digitising and increasingly global marketplace for stories?
Featuring keynotes from ‘data whisperer’ Elisa Choy and ACMI’s experience guru Seb Chan, and a panel of industry innovators to chew over the implications for creative and business practices, join us to discuss the challenges and opportunities for Australian storytellers and audiences in this volatile digital age - and continue the conversation over drinks and nibbles afterwards.
