DUST
Australia - 1999 - Ivan Sen - 24min - 2.35
Ivan Sen's most recent short film Dust (2000). A director noticeable for his careful attention to the formal properties of the medium combined with a minimal though emotionally affective narrative, Dust is a gem. In less than 25 mins, Sen develops characters with great depth and a complex and tense story. Dust is about a pair of young Aboriginal men who spend a day at a cotton field. They travel with their grandmother, a knowledgeable though silent figure. At the cotton field are other workers, in particular, a brother and sister (white) with whom they cross paths. There is racial conflict between the brother and one of the Aboriginal men while the sister and the other Aboriginal show affection toward each other...
Sen's direction is outstanding: the performances are brilliant, no character is a stereotype; the use of landscape and the environment interweaved with the story is excellent; the sound-scape is haunting; and the pacing is impeccable. An amazingly poetic and haunting short film. A Festival highlight.
