[TINY STADIUMS: Interview] Groundwork
This year’s Tiny Stadiums festival is curated by new creative collective Groundwork – aka Amelia Wallin, Maria White and Christopher Hodge; the theme they’ve chosen is ‘centre/margins’. “We wanted to start with the geographies and historical aspects of Erskineville,” Wallin explains, “a suburb very much in the centre of Sydney’s inner city, yet with this kind of small town mentality.”

[TINY STADIUMS: Interview] Alice Williams: Impossible Plays
A video plays in front of a curtain; somebody is retelling the stories that recur in their fantasies. Then we are floating on air, or perhaps walking on water, watching a reflective and transparent set – though it’s too abstract for me to properly visualise. “Think of an old-fashioned theatre, but see-through,” explains Alice Williams.

[SFF: Preview] Tatsumi
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is the godfather of ‘gekiga’, the adult-oriented strain of alternative manga that salvaged the form from the ghetto of perceived depravity – while still establishing discreteness from children’s comics – in late-1950s Japan. In this splendid animated documentary/showcase, the artist’s biography – mined from his Eisner Award-winning autobiographical manga A Drifting Life – is interweaved with five of his signature stories to create a multifaceted portrait of Tatsumi, the man and the artist.
