As part of Asia Pacific Triennial Cinema, Taiwan-based Malaysian filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang joined us for an Australian-exclusive in-person In Conversation event. Celebrated as one of the greatest living directors and a key figure in the second wave of Taiwan New Cinema, Tsai has re-shaped understandings of the artform through his feature films (including the Golden Lion-winning 'Vive L’Amour' 1994 and the ghostly masterpiece 'Goodbye, Dragon Inn' 2003), his innovative video works and his mesmerising 'Walker' series. Tsai Ming-liang discusses his acclaimed career, his long-standing creative partnership with Lee Kang-sheng and his singular vision of cinema.

Indonesian writer-director Kamila Andini talks about the characters she crafts in her films and the stories she is passionate to bring to the big screen. Kamila Andini’s films explore major sociocultural topics – such as gender equality and environmental issues – in a way that is fantastical, poetic and uniquely her own. Her stories draw from Indonesian art traditions including costume, dance and theatre regularly focussing on women navigating cultural restrictions and expectations. Her films masterfully explore the narrative through nuanced relationships between parents and children, husband and wife, siblings and young love.

Jeremy Leatinu’u and his cinematic collaborator Ian Powell explore the development of their collaboration and how, across the years, they have deeply refined their filmic language. Jeremy Leatinu’u’s representation in the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial, highlights the artists growing interest and confidence working with moving image, tracing the movement from using video to document performances to exploring cinema as a storytelling medium. Adapting short film conventions, Leatinu’u's recent works present slow, intimate studies of people and places inviting audiences to reflect on poetic interconnections across ecologies and the relationship that exists between memory and storytelling. Recorded at the Australian Cinémathèque, Gallery of Modern Art Sat 30 Nov 2024 Moderated by José Da Silva, Director, UNSW Galleries, Sydney.
