The Sydney Underground Film Festival is dedicated to nurturing an alternative film culture through the promotion of independent and experimental films. The festival seeks to support filmmakers who operate outside established film industry infrastructures, by providing a platform for exhibition, exposure and critical discussion. Founded in 2007 by filmmaking team Stefan Popescu and Katherine Berger and assisted by a dedicated team of volunteers, the Sydney Underground Film Festival achieved vast success in its first year with a sell out opening night on the 7th of September and with weekend crowds of around 2000 guests. The 2008 festival takes place from 11th – 14th September at The Factory Theatre, Enmore.

Following on from the success of ‘Sensory Bodies’ at Kudos Gallery in 2007 as well as numerous showings nationally, Kate Scardifield is branching out in her first solo project. ‘Patience. This is a means and not the end.’ is an exhibition of new work developed by the artist during a studio residency at Firstdraft Gallery.

Scardifield sets out to direct a silhouette play along the 14-metre gallery wall. Theatrically abundant and richly textured, the silhouettes are meticulously pinned down to cast ghostly shadows. A visually poetic demise is set to take place…

‘Archeology’ is a retrospective exhibition of works on paper from the past 7 years, unearthed from sketchbooks and suitcases. Many of the works were drawn while travelling, they then travelled across Melbourne in suitcases from one share house to another. Some drawings are biographical, some autobiographical and many draw upon emotional states.

Show Opens Friday 29th August 7-9pm and runs till 10th Sept.
