Artsday / NFSA takes an online ‘Deep Dive’

David Stratton.

THE National Film and Sound Archive is taking a “Deep Dive” with a series of that name, changing every Thursday, where they’ll publish previously unreleased recordings of top on-site events, and establish connections between them and the NFSA collection, as well as other audio-visual content online. Running now is a Q&A with film author David Stratton. He visited the archive last year to discuss his book “101 Marvellous Movies You May Have Missed” and his thoughts on hidden gems in Australian film history. Visit nfsa.gov.au

IN Episode 6 of “Coronavlog with Van De Stool”, Canberra-raised comedienne Queenie van de Zandt’s silly alter-ego Jan covers how trauma can affect our bodies, how she’s going to celebrate having two people come over to her house, and how good an interpretive dancer she really is. Watch on Vimeo.
