Hume’s Disappointment, 11 min, 2016
The story of my father’s disappearence at Mt. Disappointment fuses
with a reimagining of Hume and Hovell’s expedition to ‘first’
encounter northern Victoria in 1824. The film forms a new ficitional
hauntology in which past, present and future collapse through
various forms of re-photography and the re-alignment of ‘found’
fragments from the tails of gothic Australian cinema.
