We spoke to artist Andy Butler about his latest moving-image installation, ‘Living Truthfully in Invented Circumstances’ and the experience of diving into a confronting cultural archive.

Filmed on location in Canberra, the three-channel work sees Asian-Australian actors recreate selected movie scenes referenced in cinema programs in the Beyer archive from the early 1930s, when Hollywood films were being screened in Manila during the height of the American colonial period.

‘Living Truthfully in Invented Circumstances’ forms part of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art ’s major exhibition Future Remains: The 2024 Macfarlane Commissions runs from 29 June – 1 September 2024. Proudly supported by SUNSTUDIOS.

Andy Butler dove into a confronting cultural archive – and took on racial stereotypes from around South East Asia in his latest moving-image installation, ‘Living Truthfully in Invented Circumstances’.

See how Canon Master Steven Chee created the ultimate test for the new EOS R5 Mark II.

‘To test the hybrid performance of the camera, I created a vision of fast-moving dancers with erratic movements in tough lighting conditions, and I have to say, it preformed beyond my expectations’

Steven’s highlights were the precise autofocus, 30fps continuous shooting, 8K 60p RAW and Canon Log 2.

SUNSTUDIOS Sydney recently hosted two AFTRS workshops. ⁠
⁠
First up, Kate Cornish and Heather Fletcher showed how to create a vastly different looking set using identical LED lighting fixtures, constructing a morning scene and a blackout scenario within the same setting to shift the scene from morning to night. ⁠
⁠
Next, in ‘The Pursuit of Light’ with Finbarr Collins and Jordan Allison offered a true-to-life on-set experience by filming a short scene across two different sets. Students learned about different lighting fixtures and techniques, and how they can be employed to create vastly different moods. ⁠
⁠
We loved meeting the next generation in our industry!
