Single channel digital video, colour, stereo Two women traverse around one another in a motel; a guest retiring to leisure, and a housekeeper resisting it. directors statement: Leisure frees itself from dramatic narrative; long takes of insignificant details and events become the films’ operative subjects, in which the surplus of reality complemented with the accrual of duration, offers a mundane dramaturgy, if you will. By channeling the simple effect of a minimal-hyperrealist style, Leisure relishes in the literal depiction of routine (non)events of the leisure body and the labor body engaging in their respective quotidian circumstances, such as relaxing in the hot tub or cleaning the toilet. In representing everydayness through the quotidian details of two womens’ contrasting lives, I am investigating ordinary lives - the routines that no-one pays attention to, registering these minimal moments, so that when we see them, we acknowledge our own “everydayness” and evaluate what we are doing with our own lives. credits: motel guest deirdree wallace housekeeper danxia yang director / producer mia forrest cinematographer ben cotgrove editor mia forrest production designer samantha herriman production coordinator meg o'connell original score & sound design samuel pankhurst mastering engineer joe talia makeup artist billie weston 1st ac erin o'shiel sound recordist mary duong Screenings: Queensland Film Festival (July 2017) Channels (Australian Video Art Festival), Melbourne AUS (September, 2017) Aesthetica Short Film Festival, York UK (November, 2017) Revelation Perth International Film Festival (July, 2018)
