Debil Debil is an exhibition at the Anna Schwartz Gallery and a filmfestival at Carriageworks. The program includes films by Beck Cole, Wesley Enoch, Darlene Johnson, Tracey Moffatt, r e a, Rachel Perkins, Ivan Sen and Warwick Thornton.
Tracey Moffatt is an Australian artist, born in Brisbane in 1960. Her works are held in the collections of the Tate, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, National Gallery of Australia, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Twenty years ago, she became the first Australian Aboriginal woman to make a feature film, in the process polarising critics, who argued over whether BeDevil was a work of genius or a cinematic failure. Contemporary audiences will have the chance to make up their minds on Friday, April 19. Public intellectual and activist Professor Maria Langton AM has chosen BeDevil to open Debil Debil, an event combining a weekend-long cinema programme at Carriageworks with an exhibition at Anna Schwartz Gallery.
Saturday, April 20 will see screenings of Rachel Perkins's stirring musical drama, One Night the Moon, and two works directed by Ivan Sen: his psychologically penetrating Wind, and his intimate study of life on the mission, Toomelah. A series of short films will run on Sunday, including works by Wesley Enoch, Darlene Johnson, Beck Cole and r e a.
All screenings are free, but numbers are limited.
