Somewhere in between the endless stream of parties, exhibitions, zine fairs and general off-tap times at Format 2010, we figure everyone might just want to nurse an arts-related hangover on a beanbag with a Coopers Green and some films.
First off we have the Visual Arts Film Night. It’s billed as showing films dealing with ‘longing, desire and obsession’. Keep your shirts on, please. Some great local, national and international artists are featured including Daniela Swarowsky, Ray Harris, Danielle Freakley and Sam Songailo. Later that night the Human Rights Film Night will give us a taste of what the May 2010 Human Rights Arts and Film Festival will feature. Street Dreams will be screening the 2006 documentary, Beautiful Losers – the account of a group of DIY artists operating since the 1990s on the street and in galleries.
Oh and yes, we really do have beanbags.
