Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival

UNSW Galleries opens late to coincide with the Australian Design Centre screenings of 'Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival'. In the lead up to Sydney Craft Week, 'Real to Reel' is a short film festival that celebrates craft and making in all its facets: traditional, contemporary, subversive and diverse. Featuring an eclectic program of 28 short films (across two screenings), the films have been selected from around the globe. There’s an incredible array of styles, people and approaches — from BAFTA-winning, hand-crafted animation and music videos to glimpses behind the scenes of makers’ studios.

The craft festival includes a short film about Sydney weaver and UNSW Lecturer Liz Williamson made by Angus Lee Forbes, Obsessed: Compelled to make. Liz Williamson curated 'Local Colour: Experiments in Nature' UNSW Galleries, staying open late until 7pm for visitors to explore before attending the nearby film festival at Chauvel Cinemas.
