Peter Weir - Short Film Collection
Content:
Three to Go: Michael (1969): This film is one part of a trilogy of stories, combined into a film entitled "Three to Go". The other two stories, "Judy" and "Toula", were both directed by Brian Hannant. The Peter Weir instalment, "Michael", centres on the problems of young Australian people in a time of rebellion and confusion, due mainly to the war in Vietnam and changing social issues. The film opens with an impressive fantasy scene, involving civil war in the streets of Sydney. [www.michaeldvd.com.au]
Content:
Homesdale (1971): Homesdale is a black comedy with a twist. It was also the last film in which Peter Weir "the actor" appears in a small cameo role. Many elements in this film recur with much more polish in his later films, and in particular there is a very similar sense of underlying menace and dread in Weir's first feature film "The Cars That Ate Paris".

Three Directions in Pop Music (1972): This is an interesting snapshot of some Australian music artists of the early seventies, all quite different in styles. The first artist featured is Wendy Saddington and Teardrop, who combined an element of mime with their music. The second featured artist is jug music band The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. Third is the heavier and psychedelic rock music of Indelible Murtceps. [www.michaeldvd.com.au]. - Incredible Floridas (1972): This short film documents Australian composer Richard Meale's homage to the young French poet, Arthur Rimbaud. Meale composed a music piece for woodwind, percussion and strings which he titled "Incredible Floridas". This music is based on the poetry of the Frenchman, which many may find a little obscure.
