"As hosts of FBi Radio's Movies Movies Movies, our goal in life and love is to free cinema from pretty privilege. As film-makers-cum-critics we've spent years unlearning industry standard to find the essence of movies, and have accumulated an oeuvre proving time and time again that cinema is, actually, all around. So, in preparation for our upcoming film festival at the Sydney Opera House, we went Tomb Raider to mine the oceanic crust of our search history."
"Puppycodes is a largely dormant Instagram data bank but Alice Barker is, and was, the hottest hacker who defined an era. She scraped the internet using code for the most specific videos that bordered on dangerous but always felt cute. Like most of the funniest people she has also deeply beneficent; she started support.fm, a non-profit bail fund for trans and gender nonconforming people in jail and detention."
The hosts of FBi Radio's Movies Movies Movies aim to free cinema from pretty privilege and emphasize accessibility. Film-makers unlearn industry standards to find the essence of movies and assemble an oeuvre demonstrating that cinema is all around. A curated search through online video history informed a festival programming approach focused on what worked in a specific moment. Many highlighted videos are solo acts, often featuring women using simple equipment like iPhones. Puppycodes and Alice Barker exemplify internet-born creativity, combining risky, cute clips with activist work such as a non-profit bail fund for trans and gender nonconforming people.
