Sydney Latin American Film Festival
Until September 19, Sydneysiders will be able to experience a bit of Latin American culture over a few screens around the city as part of the fifth edition of the Sydney Latin American Film Festival. Audiences will have the opportunity to watch more than sixty new productions, such as the idiosyncratic Chasing Che, exploring the influence that this iconic revolutionary had on an amateur filmmaker, and ‘Gourmet Cinema’, like Cooking Up Dreams, which questions whether an entire society can be represented though its cuisine. All proceeds will be donated to grassroots community development projects in Latin America and Australia.

WhiteSpac3: arts community website
WhiteSpac3 is a recently launched arts community website. Instead of meaning a blank space, the suggestive name refers to an important element in the aesthetic composition. In design, the white or negative space is what enables objects to exist due to the contradiction with the positive (non-white) elements. It’s a very appropriate concept for a project that wants to be a free space for Australian creative minds, connecting them with galleries and art lovers.

Despite their jarring name, British noise duo Fuck Buttons are surprisingly palatable. The band’s long, droning tracks are infused with sweet twinkles and sunny synth, but dark shards of ominous guitar overdrive and distorted screeches pierce the shimmering surface just when you’re ready to zone out. Danceable beats occasionally draw everything back together, creating a stormy, pulsing, and disorienting atmosphere.
