Art form cross pollination between film, TV & the arts
THE HIVE encourages art form cross pollination – between practitioners, and between processes and creative approaches.
First held 24 - 28 February 2011 (within the 2011 BigPond Adelaide Film Festival), this ground-breaking 5 day residential lab brought together 20 talented artists from film, literature, performing and visual arts. Led by BAVC’s Wendy Levy with a team of brilliant mentors from a number of disciplines, THE HIVE introduces filmmakers to creative development methodologies and potential collaborators from other art forms and inspires artists to consider film as a creative outlet.
The first arts films to be financed through the $670,000 Hive Production Fund were announced in November 2011. Three quite different productions were chosen to have their world premieres at the 2013 Adelaide Film Festival and then air on ABC1.
The films are: TENDER (60min documentary) Director: Lynette Wallworth (visual artist); Producer: Kath Shelper (Samson and Delilah)
I WANT TO DANCE BETTER AT PARTIES (30min docu/drama) Creative Director: Gideon Obazarnek (ex Chunky Move Artistic Director); Director: Matthew Bate (Shut Up Little Man) Producer: Rebecca Summerton (Closer Productions)
THE BOY CASTAWAYS (rock musical dramatic feature film) Director: Michael Kantor (Ex Malthouse Theatre Artistic Director) Producer: Jo Dyer (Lucky Miles and Sydney Theatre Company EP) Producer: Stephen Armstrong (Ex Malthouse EP) Executive Producer: Robert Connolly (Romulus My Father, The Boys)
