Australian Music Week has revealed the line-up for its annual music film festival.
The festival showcases both feature length and short films that are based on music.
Four Australian films will be shown, while eight films will make their debut on Australian screens.
Six feature films will headline the festival, with one Australian film on offer.
Now Sound: Melbourne’s Listening is a documentary that explores Melbourne’s iconic music scene.
Focusing on the city’s inner northern suburbs, the film documents the barriers that threaten to tear down the music scene in a city dubbed the ‘music capital of the world’.
Burkinabe Rising: The Art of Resistance in Burkina Faso, a Cultures of Resistance film, will also be shown. Directed by Lara Lee, the film is set in Burkina Faso – a landlocked country in Africa – whose community of artists and citizens carry on the revolutionary spirit of former president Thomas Sankara.
Other feature films include Arada (Turkey), Rockumentary: Evolution of Indian Rock (India), Slave to the Grind (Canada), and Lost in France (Ireland and Scotland).
Lost in France, an exhilarating new documentary, explores the rise of this Glaswegian music scene, revisiting a defining, chaotic trip to France in the early careers of flourishing indie rock band The Delgados.
The documentary is set in Glasgow in the mid-1990s where The Delgados establish cult record label Chemikal Underground, heralding a renaissance of independent music in the city that would bring the likes of Mogwai, Arab Strap and Franz Ferdinand to the world.
Three short films from Australia are among the six that will be shown alongside the feature films at the festival.
Wannabe is a mockumentary about an Australian Spice Girls cover band, Busking for Change follows three buskers in Sydney.
ELSKA: Heart and Harp is a documentary about a Gold Coast artist. ELSKA is also one of the performing artists at the Australian Music Week industry conference.
Other short films include Mixtape (India), and UK entries Broadbank and Somewhere in their Heads.
The film festival will be held at GU Filmhouse in Cronulla on November 10 and 11.
Tickets for the film festival are $10 per film, or free for Australian Music Week badge holders.
