Saturday Screenings | LeLarnie Hatfield & Joanna Joy

Next date: Saturday, 22 February 2025 | 01:30 PM to 03:30 PM

LeLarnie Hatfield & Joanna Joy 1.jpg
Artists in Residence LeLarnie Hatfield and Joanna Joy are collaborating on a project that seeks to turn the written works of poet and activist Judith Wright into a television series. The project will be set in Central Queensland and both filmmakers want to ensure local community perspectives are considered in the “World-building” of this series. 
 
“World-building” refers to the process of creating a world within a film or TV show, including the characters, locations and events. To ensure the world of the project is reflective of Central Queensland’s multi-lingual, multi-cultural history the artists are inviting local members of the community to share their perspectives throughout their residency. 
 
Hatfield and Joy are hosting three film screenings during their residency and invite viewers to stay for a discussion afterwards to contribute their perspectives on how the films represent different characters, locations and events. 

 

  • Saturday 15th of February: Heritage (1935). Directed by Charles Chauvel, this film traces the life and loves of James Morrison in colonial times and his descendant Frank Morrison in the 1930s, struggling to survive on an outback station with the same determination as his ancestor.
  • Saturday 22nd of February: Eureka Stockade (1949). Directed by Harry Watt and featuring Chips Rafferty, this story transports us back to the 1854 Gold Rush where miners from all over the world unite against an oppressive government.
  • Saturday 1st of March: On Our Selection (1920). Directed by Raymond Longford, this early silent Australian classic follows the ups and downs of the Rudd family who live on a ranch in Southwest Queensland.

 

The final screening will be followed by Hatfield and Joy's artist talk as the culmination of their three week residency.

About LeLarnie Hatfield & Joanna Joy

Hatfield and Joy are a creative duo who have spent the past four years collaborating on the creation of cross-cultural representations in film. Shot on Darumbal Country, their most recent work ‘Generations of Men’ has screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival, Flickerfest, Brisbane International Film Festival, Darwin International Film Festival and St Kilda Film Festival. This residency seeks to continue their long term creative collaboration on Darumbal Country.

Together these two artists combine their respective expertise and shared interest in facilitation to collaborate on the birth of their latest development. Returning to the RMOA is a “full-circle” moment for these artists who have spent many hours taking inspiration from the newly built space and exhibitions.
