Saara Lamberg on Creating a Filmography in a Community of Independent Filmmakers


Listen Later

Finnish-Australian filmmaker Saara Lamberg has crafted a filmography which features genre-defying, boundary pushing films like 2017's Innuendo, 2022's Westermarck Effect, and the docu-fiction film The Lies We Tell Ourselves, which received screenings at Perth's Revelation International Film Festival and the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Screenings of The Lies We Tell Ourselves at these festivals became an event that spilled out of the cinema and into the foyer, with Saara dramatically collapsing on the festival red carpet, adding an extra layer to the films themes.

On the horizon for Saara are two more films. Coma is a feature length film told from the perspective of a patient in a coma whose friends, family, and the hospitals employees spill their own truths onto this unconscious person, and Saara's other film being Conversations with Spithead, a short-long film about a physicist who engages in complicated and wild conversations with his cat, Spithead, about the nature of living.

In the following discussion, Saara talks about her journey into filmmaking, what it's like working within a film community like filmonik in Melbourne, and about how Coma and Conversations with Spithead were created. Saara closes the conversation by giving advice for fellow independent filmmakers in Australia.
