Australian Artist Inspired by Local Filmmakers and Students - TopicsExpress

Australian Artist Inspired by Local Filmmakers and Students Local filmmakers and students learned about Australian art and films through cultural exchanges with visiting artist Richard Jameson this week. During his stay Jameson, an award-winning Indigenous Australian filmmaker and photographer, met with University of the South Pacific and Fiji National University students, as well as filmmakers through Film Fiji. Jamesons’s discussions with filmmakers included funding sources, low-cost ideas and finding broader audiences through film festivals and distributors. Im amazed by the incredible stories that these highly skilled people have and I see Fiji filmmakers being at a similar stage as Indigenous filmmakers in my community, Jameson said. The passion and talent is there, its just about taking it to that next level in exposure and professionalism, something we all strive for. FNU music student Pita Ravai found Jameson’s soundtracks particularly interesting. “I really enjoyed it because of the soundtrack of his films,” Ravai said. “The music in films is so important, as he said, it really attracts people’s attention, so for me it shows the importance of what I’m studying.” According to Professor Subhankar Ghosh, FNU Head of Film and Television studies, Jameson’s broad portfolio of work is an encouragement to budding filmmakers. “It’s inspirational, especially for my students, because he has made a lot of films with different levels of funding,” Professor Ghosh said.”So whether you are given $300 or $3,000, all that is needed for films is passion for good ideas and stories.” USP Pacific Studies lecturer Jackie Leota-Ete shared similar sentiments. “Richard’s presentation has underlined many similarities between our indigenous cultures,” Ms Leota-Ete said. “Seeing his work in film also shows the types of films and artistic expression that are possible even with limited resources.” Jameson’s ‘Grounded’ photography exhibition is open at Tappoo City Level 4 until Saturday 12 July. While here, he also collaborated on a documentary with FNU film students which they aim to submit for film festival screenings.
