Chris Pahlow and Steph Brotchie are members of ‘D.I.Y.
ART’ a small artistic collective established in 2005. Together
they have produced a series of independent films without any funding
or practical technical support – including the “Fraught”
which screens in the Australian Panorama program.
The focus of this talk will be restriction-driven
production; that is, the making of films not only in despite of
obstacles, but making better films because of them. They will address
the ways in which the absence of budget and/or industry experience
forces independent filmmakers to develop new ways of story-telling
and invent new economic animation and filmic techniques to convey
their ideas.
Using examples from their first film to their
most recent they will demonstrate the self-taught, self-driven process
by which they have developed their skills, and describe the ways
in which they produce the best films they can within their limited
means.
