Oct 11 to Nov 29 Archie Moore and AFF 2024 Expand Moving Image Commission. Samstag’s Wirltuti season premieres the 2024 Adelaide Film Festival/Samstag moving image commissions.
Recipient of the AFF & Samstag Art and the Moving Image Commission, celebrated artist Archie Moore(Kamilaroi/Bigambul) presents an ambitious new large-scale immersive installation work. In this fifth iteration of his Dwelling series, Moore imaginatively recreates the mise-en-scene of his childhood home. An ongoing investigation of memory and the effect of colonisation, the work draws on visual, auditory, haptic and olfactory elements to create a powerful sense of verisimilitude.

Meanwhile, the inaugural AFF & Samstag Expand Moving Image Commission is a series of experimental docu-fiction moving image works by artists Susan Norrie, Matthew Thorne and Emmaline Zanelli. In three chapters, they follow the narrative threads of mining in Australia to offer counter-perspectives to frequently cliched assumptions, excavating this underrepresented but critical sector of contemporary Australia. This collaborative project originates from the 2022 AFF Expand Lab.
