Paradise Lost
The third instalment of the Paradise Lost trilogy titled Purgtory aired recently in the USA following the release of Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley from jail on August 19 2011. Dubbed the West Memphis Three, the boys were wrongly convicted of the murder of three eight year old boys in 1995. If you don’t know anything about this story, read this Wikipedia page.
This March, The Australian Centre for the Moving Image presents the Paradise Lost Trilogy, with an introduction and Q&A by director Joe Berlinger.
Berlinger, whose celebrated documentaries include Brother’s Keeper, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster and Crude, will visit ACMI to participate in a Q&A following the screening of the third and final instalment of the HBO documentary series.
On May 5 1993, the bodies of three eight year old boys were found next to a muddy creek in the wooded Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas. A month later, three teenagers were arrested (Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley) and accused and convicted of brutally raping, mutilating and killing the boys. Fraught with innuendoes of devil worship, allegations of coerced confessions and emotionally charged statements, the case remains one of the most sensational in state history.
Scored by Metallica, Paradise Lost 1: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills is a gripping account of a small-town justice system operating for a community rocked by a horrific crime. Desperate for a conviction amidst rumours that the homicides were satanically motivated, local authorities target three teenagers. Paradise Lost 1 premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and received numerous accolades, including an Emmy®, Peabody Awards, a Directors Guild of America nomination, and was named Best Documentary by the National Board of Review.
Five years on, co-directors Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky return to document the gruelling appeals process and fresh evidence in the case via Paradise Lost 2: Revelations (2000). Picking up where the first film left off, a small group of individuals inspired by Paradise Lost 1 hire a forensic investigator to re-examine the evidence. New clues are uncovered that point away from the imprisoned young men, sparking calls for an appeal.
After eighteen years of covering what police described as an open-and-shut case, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory (2011) provides a stunning conclusion to one of the most notorious judicial cases in US history. Drawing on new evidence and interviews plus their immense archive of footage, Berlinger and Sinofsky skilfully weave a riveting tale that brings new viewers up to date. The final chapter is a triumphant yet cautionary note about the elasticity of justice. Paradise Lost 3 will have its Australian premiere at ACMI.

AFTER I DIE
When I was at University, I had the pleasure of being lectured by Australian immigrant design legend Mimmo D Cozzolino. Mimmo is opening his life and collections up in a new show in February at Monash University.
AFTER I DIE. Archives, autobiography, photography – Mimmo D Cozzolino.
For forty years I’ve been hiding bits of my life in shoe boxes, folders, draws and filing cabinets.
For the last four years (as part of an MFA at Monash University) I’ve been looking at what I put away and choosing the fragments that say something about my life as a migrant and ‘New Australian’, designer, photographer and artist. This research has concluded with the creation of nine limited edition books, which I want to share with you.
The books will be on show at:
Monash Faculty of Art Design & Architecture Masters Gallery D2.09
Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th February 2012, between 10am and 5pm.

Dreamland
Dreamland, an Exhibition of Artworks by Claudio Kirac.
‘Dreamland’ revolves around two key themes; the thrill of travel and the longing for home. While ‘on the road’ for periods at a time, and mostly without the leisure one would assume with travel or ‘holidays’, Claudio grasps the moments around him; wholly embracing local cultures and traditions, venturing ‘off the beaten path’ and stepping outside the comforts of everyday life. While befriending strangers and capturing those special moments one only encounters on ‘the journey’, work and play blur into one. Soon comes the challenge of missing the familiarity of home, the everyday norm, the common voices of close friends and the touch of a loved one. But it is this that makes us appreciate the everyday and helps restore our balance and soon we are home again where we can reflect on the journey and the places that became home for those moments in time. The works of ‘Dreamland’ express and investigate many of these notions.
