The Australian Music Industry Network (AMIN) recently celebrated the importance of Australian contemporary live music with their I Love Live Music 60-second film competition.
The competition was a joint venture between AMIN, the Live Music Office, and St Kilda Film Festival, and tasked local filmmakers with producing short films honouring the importance of live music.
The finalists — seven from VIC, one from SA, one from TAS, and one from NSW — were screened at The St Kilda Film Festival’s SoundKILDA event last month with the over $12,000 worth of prizes awarded on the night.
The films varied in genre and approach, running the gamut from documentaries to original features, but each was united in its focus on the social, cultural, and economic value of contemporary music.
The winner was Live from Kingsbury Bowls, a film by Melbourne documentarian Sari Braithwaite about music’s ability to bring together people of all ages and walks of life at a community bowls club.
Check out Live from Kingsbury Bowls and head on over to the AMIN website to see all of the finalists.
