onedotzero

onedotzero is an independent, visionary, hybrid events and production company with nearing a decade of experience in presenting, commissioning, exhibiting and distributing new moving image work. This is the fifth year in which the Festival has collaborated with this leading outlet for contemporary moving image work presenting onedotzero's double whammy focus on Mike Mills. Playtime and Memories explores Mills' ouevre of promos, shorts and documentaries and nicely segues into our premiere of his eagerly awaited debut feature film later in the week, Thumbsucker. Continuing the music video focus the festival will present the latest in striking, graphic music videos in the current edition of wavelength 05.

Playtime: Mike Mills - Music Videos
Thursday 13th | 9.00pm | Triskel Arts Centre
Mills' renowned fusion of illustration, graphic animation and digital video styles mixed with strangely endearing choreographed pieces and charming, loving characterisations add up to a never tiring imagination of how to play with the conventions of music and life in whatever form it takes. This body of music promo work shows distinctive talent, style and taste and marks him out to be a truly great director whatever area of moving image he turns his eye to.

Memories: Mike Mills Documentaries And Shorts
Friday 14th | 9.00pm | Triskel Arts Centre
Mills' short films and documentary works are underpinned by a fascination with American social values. His films exude a sense of wistful nostalgia and a sense of timeless-ness pervades his work and could be set in the 1950s or present day. He is associated with tales of suburban Americana, but his interests appear to run deeper. His oeuvre presents gentle critiques of the foundation and myths of the American dream and the hollow aspirations and value systems that form it. Mills' framing clearly shows his graphic design and visual communication roots and architecture and spaces are tenderly noticed as supporting roles to his subjects.
