Description
In the heart of Adelaide, a movement is changing the conversations about film and film culture. That movement is called moviejuice, a ground up driven collective of artists, filmmakers, film theorists and enthusiasts, who commune to watch, experience, and talk about film and art culture together. Created by Shea Gallagher, Daniel Tune, and Louis Campbell, moviejuice was born in the backyards of Adelaide, spotlighting the sonic landscape of the city with live music and films like Tim Carlier's energetic and invigorating Paco.
Over its brief existence, moviejuice has made its mark on Australian culture and cinema, showcasing films that would otherwise go unnoticed or underappreciated. Films like Gabe Bath's Ships that Bear or Tim Baretto's Bassendream, unique experiences that genuinely shift the filmic language of Australian cinema.
Now, in 2024, moviejuice have teamed up with Adelaide Film Festival to present a must see experience, a cinematic double featuring Jordy Pollock's Wabi Sabi Rendezvous and Audrey Lam's Us and the Night. In the following interview, Daniel and Shea talk about their history with moviejuice, the vision for the collective, what it means to work with an organisation like Adelaide Film Festival, and naturally, the importance of celebrating and amplifying this kind of Australian culture.
I am in awe of what the moviejuice team are creating from the heart of Adelaide. They are helping shape how we respond to Australian culture and ensuring that filmmakers like Gabe Bath, Tim Baretto, Tim Carlier, Jordy Pollock, and Audrey Lam, are continually talked about and are part of the ongoing conversation that is Australian cinema.
moviejuice presents Wabi Sabi Rendezvous and Us and the Night at Adelaide Film Festival on Saturday 2 November 2024. Tickets are available here.
