APT6 in Review

16 Production still from Se, jie ( Lust, Caution ) 2007 / Director: Ang lee / Image courtesy: Universal Pictures The Australian Cinémathèque The Australian Cinémathèque featured two major programs as part of APT6. Promised Lands and The Cypress and the Crow: 50 Years of Iranian Animation encompassed diverse video and filmmaking practices, genres and creators working across cinema and contemporary art. Three filmmakers were also included among the APT6 artists and were profiled with retrospective seasons during the exhibition: Takeshi Kitano (Japan), Ang Lee (Taiwan/United States) and Rithy Panh (Cambodia/France). More than 10 000 visitors attended screenings during the exhibition period. The APT6 cinema program provided an enormous wealth of ideas, as well as viewing pleasure for an increasingly grateful Brisbane audience. It is through exposure to these ideas, sounds, images and experiences that we reach greater understandings of our place in the region, and the world, and of those we share it with.
