Moment of impact. The Japanese harpoon ship, the Yushin Maru 3 (right), tries to shake off the anti-whaling Sea Shepherd ship, the Bob Barker (left), from the Japanese factory ship the Nisshin Maru’s tail (background), ramming the Bob Barker and tearing a one-metre gash in its hull, and damaging itself in the process. Southern Ocean, Antarctica 2010.
In the name of ‘research’, using a loophole in the International Whaling Convention, Japanese whalers set a yearly quota of 1,035 whales to kill in the Antarctic waters, many in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. No academically respected, internationally peer reviewed scientific research papers have been published by the whalers. The multinational, anti-whaling, direct-action, marine conservation organisation Sea Shepherd sailed yearly to Antarctica until 2017 (the last of three Antarctic campaigns I photographed), to physically obstruct and stop the Japanese whaling slaughter. Japan ceased its whaling operations in the Antarctic, repeatedly blaming Sea Shepherd for its whale quota loss. Sea Shepherd, since 2002 when the organisation started obstructing the Japanese Antarctic whaling operations, directly helped save the lives of over 6,000 whales.

Bohemian Kings X Swan song - Tap gallery

Synopsis
2004 was the last kings cross festival organised by the Kings Cross Arts Guild.
I was lucky enough to interview the famous bohemian artists still alive at that time since then over half of these interviewees have passed.
This 30 minute documentary is a testament to their work and their place in the history of Kings Cross Bohemian Artists.
It holds space for them and their view on the gentrification of Kings Cross during the laying of the plaques.
Please see the credits for the list of artists interviewed and their late artist friends of this magical time in the under mentioned Kings Cross ArtHistory between 1970-90 and onwards

A Quick History of the Movies

A QUICK HISTORY OF THE MOVIES with Barry Patterson Wednesday 30th November 7.30pm

A Quick History of the Movies * film at Tap

a quick history of the movies

It’s hard to imagine a city the size of Sydney without a Cinematheque. Vast numbers of movies that viewers in other centers take for granted never surface here. This isolation shows up in a whole lot of different ways.

Well, movies are back at the Tap Gallery in Surry Hills.

“Bronco Billy” Anderson shares the screen with European art movies, Hollywood nostalgia and the Kung Fu spectaculars. From flickering shop-front to picture places and complexes, through the arrival of sound, colour and big screens, filmmaker and life-long enthusiast Barrie Patterson who has mounted programs for the London National Film Theatre and Paris Cinémathèque is doing a one-off event which traces film making from the first days to the present. considers the way film & TV have become central to experience.

New comers will get an insight into the problems of handling and watching material in a way that does justice to the intention of the original makers. The program will use genuine celluloid film, some of it a hundred years old, in illustration and comparisons.

Here’s a unique chance to rub shoulders with people who take their movies seriously and a few who know that they can be one of the most fun ways to spend their time.

You wouldn’t want to miss that!

This one-off presentation may challenge your view of our most popular form of entertainment.
Don’t miss it!
Don’t even be late!
7:30 pm Wednesday Nov 30
TAP Gallery, 259 Riley St. Surry Hills NSW 2010.
Phone: 0400610440 or 95116514 (after 11am).
