Senses of Cinema, one of the world's most popular film websites, is celebrating its 40th issue. To do this, they have enlisted the dotmov media arts collective to pay tribute to ten of the world's most important film directors as voted by readers of the website. The result is Either / Auteur, which despite being one of history's worst puns, will be hosted at the City Library until the 15th of August.
Reinterpreting both key scenes and general idiosyncrasies of the directors, the dotmov artists pick apart the classics and weave together new versions with animation, rotoscoping, and even a bit of old-fashioned weirdness. Psycho's shower scene re-shot in ASCII, anyone?
Artists and Their Muses: Saskia Pandji Sakti - Stanley Kubrick, Lorraine Heller-Nicholas - Orson Welles, Brendan McKnight - Alfred Hitchcock, Dom Redfern - Akira Kurosawa, Ryan Hayward - Martin Scorcese, Benjamin Ducroz - Robert Bresson, Jackie Felstead - Carl Dreyer, Anna Philips - Ingmar Bergman, Claire Best - Andrei Tarkovsky, Eugenia Lim - Jean-Luc Godard

If there was ever a patron saint for the art of bravado, the title would undoubtedly befall Florence Broadhurst.
Best known for her flamboyant wallpaper designs, Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Carly Simon and Madonna’s choreographer all have a piece of Broadhurst. But she was more than wallpaper. She was also master masquerader, chanteuse, writer, painter, courtier, trucking magnate, aristocratic impersonator and darling of the high-end social set.
This exquisite volume showcases Broadhurst's popular and never-before-published designs and paints an important portrait of one of Australia's most fascinating identities. |

ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture, fired by email into the loving arms of people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of writers, stylists, designers, photographers, sub-cultural attaches and a large troupe of monkeys who enjoy working for peanuts.
Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it – not because it's paid for.
Advertising Partnerships:
ThreeThousand is funded in full by one advertising partner per issue. We warmly invite advertisers who see the benefit in speaking to Melbourne through a trusted and targeted medium to contact Francesco at frunch@rightanglepublishing.com
Editorial Submissions:
The editorial team at ThreeThousand may know a lot - but they don't know everything. Feel free to send information on events, venues or anything else to chris@threethousand.com.au
Feedback:
Heap praise, sling abuse, ramble inanely – if you have anything to say to us please send it directly to talk@threethousand.com.au
