The Melbourne Fringe Festival presents Fringe Film: an open-access showcase opportunity for all forms of screen work. Music videos, documentaries, short films, animation and digital art that explore the intersection of the public and the personal are all welcomed.
This year, Fringe Film is exploring the idea of digital personas. The screens in our hands and in our homes function as portals to the personal. They show us versions of ourselves and visions of the alternate realities we create. Public screens are all around us. They function as messaging devices, usually used for instructions and advertising. What conversations begin when we make our digital personal realities public?
Melbourne Fringe invites filmmakers, animators and digital artists of all experience levels to submit their work for viewing. All submissions go into the running to win Best Film. Submissions will be screened at the Fringe club on Sunday 27 September, with a curated selection of works screened on the big screen at Federation Square from 17 – 21 September.

Audio Chemistry is audio post-production house here in Melbourne that works on short films, documentaries, and advertisements.
I’m just sending you through a quick email about a podcast we’ve recently started producing about the production and post-production process for films. It’s called The Audio Lab, and is aimed at young or independent filmmakers who are looking for more information about the post-production process for audio.
For each episode there is both an audio and visual element, the audio being the podcast and the visual being a tutorial on ProTools. I think it’s a great resource that you may be able to pass on to your students for helpful hints that may help them in their future film projects.
You can listen to the podcasts at: http://theaudiolab.
