Sounds on Screen at the Sydney Film Festival By Amanda on May 23, 2008 8:39 AM | Permalink | Comments (4)
The Sydney Film Festival has some enticing music related fare, as usual. I have my ticket to the Anita O'Day doco and Stax doco plus music, both at the Metro Theatre which seems to be called the Metro again after not being, for a while. I'm looking forward to those, but I'm not overly thrilled about paying $20 to see 90 minute films which hardly need to be seen on the big screen and will end up on ABC2 anyway in a month. So I'm giving Nick a miss. Sorry, Nick, don't hurt me but your movie is 52 minutes short long.
Also showing:
Great Australian Albums: Nick Cave "Murder Ballads"
Heavy Metal In Baghdad
Lou Reed's Berlin
Anvil! The Story of Anvil! and Sultan of Sin performance ("For some, heavy metal, spandex, hairspray and Jack Daniel's are a way of life.")
A Page of Madness (silent Japanese film with live musical accompaniment by ... it doesn't say)
Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell

Heavy metal in Baghdad? It was called shrapnel back in the olden days.

Old Alexi Sayle joke. Just couldn't resist.

ooh aaah Anita O'Day - she is brilliant.
Those two (or is it three) songs ( Georgia Brown and Tea For Two) on Jazz On a Summers day entrance me every time I play them.
And that dress and hat and shoes - man she is sooo cool.
