Six Questions with Alex Von Hofmann
Alex Von Hofmann’s short drama ‘La Serena’ debuted at the Fremantle Outdoor Film Festival earlier this year and is now travelling the short film festival circuit. How would you describe your film ‘La Serena’? La Serena is a little hard to place in a particular genre, but I suppose you could call it a fantasy-drama with a mild horror theme. It is inspired by a couple of the stories in Roald Dahl’s collection of short stories called Kiss Kiss. When I read the collection of stories, the style of story telling really grabbed my imagination and, straight away, I wanted to make a film using the same style. So I wrote La Serena, which is a twist on a couple of Roald Dahl’s stories combined. It’s a story about a very naive young man who quickly becomes a victim on his first trip out into the real world. It’s a common theme, and it works because everybody can identify with it. Every parent worries about their child when they first leave home. And everybody becomes a victim, to varying degrees, when they take their first steps out into the world. So it’s not hard to imagine the worst happening, in ...

Legends of the prints
Far from the hot air and hype that haunt the fine art auction rooms, the nation's workaday print dealers are keeping up the good work - the relatively mundane trade in rare prints and multiples. Not to be confused with commercial posters and reproductions, prints have involved artists as diverse as William Hogarth and Pablo Picasso, who saw it as a way to make their output available to a wider audience - but turned print-making into an art form in its own right.

Getting it wrong on roads ... again and again and again
How is it possible that our legislators can get transport policies so badly wrong, time and time again? Is there some stupid school for administrators that they all graduate from? What was Einstein's analysis? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting to get different results." Is the government's mania for digging tunnels an unconscious reflection of our brilliant leaders' desire to bury their heads in the sand? Or just yet another attempt to devote a lot of public money to postponing unpleasant realities until somebody else is in office? These days, the art of "good" government seems to be blaming the previous mob for what's gone wrong, and appointing "expert" committees to do the worrying and cop all the shit until the politicians are enjoying their gold passes and other retirement privileges. They seem to be some bizarre form of Time Lords moving their little telephone boxes into a future world, where water never runs out, rivers never die, and the buck never stops. We know that cars are increasingly costly on the wallet and the environment - and you'll pay $50 more per week for a hybrid , to say nothing, of course, about ...
