Synopsis

The Dust Never Settles is composed of footage recorded during a fourteen month, 50,000 km road tour of Australia with a soundtrack by The Dirty Three. Placing fascinating, often humorous encounters with the unconventional individuals who inhabit some of the country's most remote areas against a wilderness of unimaginable magnitude, the director transcends conventions of traditional documentary with her impartial approach and distinctive visual style. The Dust Never Settles is a rare document of the endlessly diverse landscape and culture of a continent, and a unique record of contemporary Australia.

Synopsis

TARGET: 090313 977 explores the application of Remote Viewing – the psychic ability to see and describe remote geographical locations, or ‘targets’ – developed by the CIA during the Cold War for intelligence-gathering purposes. The work centres on an attempt by a Remote Viewer to psychically access an undisclosed target using only a set of map coordinates as a reference. This experiment, however, has a unique twist. Unlike in most RV experiments, the target in this session is located in outer space. The viewer is set the task of accessing and describing a target on the dark side of the Moon. The Remote Viewer’s impressions were documented and then delivered to a professional sci-fi movie model maker, who was commissioned to build a model based on the descriptions provided. The resulting sculpture presents a fictional lunar landscape based on psychic information, where a poetic and fictional proposition becomes more tangible than an actual physical place.

Astonishingly, he was an enthusiast of the new science of quantum physics. So when a secret experiment goes awry leaving occult obsessive lecturer Professor Haddo, believing he is resurrected as Crowley, his masonic counterparts at Cambridge try and put a stop to his progressively wild indulgencies in drugs, sexual magic and obscene rites. But when Crowley's magic comes into conflict with quantum physics the outcome is extraordinary, with one of the most amazing triple twist endings in movie history.
