- Acclaimed filmmaker Tony Williams draws us into the heart of an exceptionally talented not for profit community chamber orchestra, and reveals the stories of the people behind the music. Three times a year, players of a very high standard travel 2 to 3 hours to rehearse at the Wollongong conservatorium, and give concerts in the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. Williams captures the interaction between the players during performance and explores the structure of the orchestra and the roles that are played by first violins, second violins, violas, cellos and basses. The film examines the important role of the orchestra in a rural community, providing fine music to an audience that don't have the same access to music as city people. Steel City Strings also provides opportunities for up and coming young soloist to perform with an orchestra. Many members of the orchestra are music teachers, and the film reveals the value of music in education, particularly for young children. We see how primary school children who play an instrument have neurological benefits which help them in all aspects of education. Parts of the brain are accessed by music, that are not affected by other forms of learning. We see children who play in a musical group also learn disciplines and social interactions by being part of an orchestra. The players in Steel City Strings are united by their passion for music, their dedication and their energy, and their music resonates throughout their community. This film is an uplifting experience celebrating the joy of music.
- Apricot - A Short Film A dark comedy where wisdom meets youthful ingenuity in a battle of wits and (breakfast) loops. 10-year old Margaret Mary has a problem. A denture-less, dribbling problem to be exact. Will her efforts to get rid of her elderly grandmother pay off? Or will she be forced to share her house (and her parents) forever? Apricot is a dark comedy that explores the fraying relationship between Margaret Mary and her elderly grandmother. On the one level, the short film is a simple interaction at the breakfast table where young and old attempt to stake their claim as valued members of the Boulous family. On a deeper level, Apricot gives insight into the sacrifices that often need to be made in order to care for the ones we love.
