Tracey Moffatt is highly regarded for her formal and stylistic experimentation in film, photography and video; her work draws on history of cinema, art and photography as well as popular culture and her own childhood memories and fantasies.
Born in Brisbane, Australia, Tracey Moffatt first gained significant critical acclaim for her film work when the short film NIGHT CRIES was selected for official competion at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. Her first feature film, BEDEVIL, was also selected for Cannes in 1993. Moffatt's stylistic experiments draw upon both popular culture and her own background, examining subjects such as Aboriginal subjugation, maternal domination, gender stereotypes, and class division. This retrospective of Moffatt’s films and videos offers a comprehensive look at her moving-image oeuvre.
Tracey Moffatt will be in attendance at the Saturday, May 5, screening as well as on Monday, May 7, with "An Evening with Tracey Moffatt." All screening information can be found here.
