Small Island Big Song - An Oceanic Songline is a collaborative film, made over 16 Island nations from the Pacific & Indian Oceans, following musicians from Madagascar, to Taiwan, to Zendath Kes, to the Torres Strait and Easter Island, all singing songs about cultural preservation and the need for environmental awareness. This is a joyous, glorious film full of life and hope, all the while informing the viewer about the legacy of these cultures, and their relationship to the oceans.

I caught up with director Tim Cole to have an in depth discussion about his work, exploring the role of the director, the music, and nature, in the filmmaking process. This is a deep discussion, one that I feel enriches the text of the film, and reminds the need for collaboration when it comes to filmmaking.

Watch Small Island Big Song via the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival here.

Oh this film, Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story is a delight. A wonderful gem of a film about musician Glenn Copeland and his album, Keyboard Fantasies, and the impact it had on those who discovered it. I caught up with director Posy Dixon to talk about how she made the film, the celebration of LGBTIQ+ elders, the importance of music in ones life, and the value of recognising our own histories.

Keyboard Fantasies is screening at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival from June 30th til July 15th, and you'd be treating yourself to a glorious cinematic experience by watching this one.

Every so often a great interview opportunity comes along that you simply have to clear your schedule for. This is one such interview.

I was fortunate to talk to Mayor Eugene W. Grant, leader of the City of Seat Pleasant, Maryland, USA about his work in trying to get more Covid-19 tests for his community, smart cities, and the protests in America right now. As you'll hear in this discussion, Mayor Grant is a man with a vision for a progressive America that has a system in place to address systemic issues across the land.

I was honoured to spend time to talk to Mayor Grant, and I highly recommend following his social media feeds: Twitter // Facebook // Instagram
