Ambient 

curated by Paul Fletcher, Artists and Senior Lecturer in Animation at Melbourne University  

This sixty-minute program of fifteen short wordless films travels through ambient landscapes and atmospheres, moods and mysteries. All have some connection in both human nature and nature generally. The films all attempt to create experiences of and reflections on the fleeting, colliding and paradoxical nature of emotions.  

Each film in its own way also gives the viewer and listener pause to reflect on our wider place in nature - our place in the world of living things, plants, animals, microscopic and universe scales of interacting living systems. Forest Bokeh responds to the parks and city environment of central Singapore. Nothingness responds to experiences of the vastness of Antarctica. The Dream adventures of Bubble Guy brings us back to our own individual and global bubbles of existence.
