Terror Nullius (55 mins, 2018) is in conjunction with the exhibition, Not Just Australian showing at New England Regional Art Museum. Part political satire, eco-horror and road movie, Terror Nullius is a political revenge fable that offers an unwriting of Australian national mythologies. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts, Soda Jerk's revisionist history opens a willful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways.
Mannagum is a Bellingen-based vocal/piano duo with Rosie Stephen on vocals and Oscar Eager on piano. Together they present a fresh take on Brazilian and jazz standards, including a few new Aussie jazz songs and atmospheric folk music. The combination of Oscar's poignant keys and Rosie's bewitching vocals strikes a thoughtful balance between intensity and beauty. Music washes away the dust of everyday life - Art Blakey
