Technology is bringing the moving image to us in a myriad of ways - the screen dominates our lives - from our phones, to our computers and the internet and television. The moving image has invaded every art form from the visual to the performing arts. Creativity and innovation are pervading all of these technologies. The Adelaide Film Festival shines a spotlight on the moving image in all its forms - revealing our history, celebrating our present and exploring our future.

PASSIO : MUSIC AND FILM
WORLD PREMIERE
23 Feb, 2007 | 8.00pm | Adelaide Town Hall
Netherlands/Italy/US, 2006, 74m
Presented by the Adelaide Film Festival and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra
Generously supported by Maureen Ritchie
Arvo Pärt's Passio, one of the last masterpieces of 20th century music, has inspired a silent film on the impending crisis of our visual culture, a dramatic meditation on the act of seeing.
As a visual accompaniment to the extraordinary oratorio by Arvo Pärt, performed live by The Theatre of Voices and conducted by Paul Hillier, Paolo Cherchi Usai's silent feature Passio takes this musical experience into the sublime. Using found footage from across the 20th century, this stunning and at times confronting work forces us to examine man's inhumanity to man - and his seeming contempt for nature and the natural - through the merciless lens of the camera. Beautiful, shocking and full of wonders, Passio is a visceral experience - more than an accompanied silent film of our lost visual memory, more than a music concert supplemented by cinema, Passio is a meditation, a ritual where hearing and seeing become a unified entity, an emotionally powerful and striking oratorio for moving image and sound.
"a vertigo effect on the 'passion' of the soul, of the body, of cinema itself." Alberto Barbera

fake film festival: entries open!
Returning to the Adelaide Film Festival in 2007 is the incredibly popular Fake Film Festival, and celebrates everything FAKE! Unlike a traditional short film festival, FAKE taps into the modern filmmaker's repertoire by asking aspiring and established directors, editors, animators and digital media practitioners to put together films in three categories.
FAKE Features: Big ideas, but no budget for your masterpiece? The grandest epics and the most woeful concepts will be squeezed into a maximum of three minutes - trailer style - Keep audiences wondering about what will be or could have been.
FAKE Ads: Sell us a fake product and play with the formulas. Enlighten us to the necessity of Rocket Pants or the Cheese-o-matic 2000.
FAKE Docos: Give us an insight into the harsh realities of life as a fictitious person. Go behind the scenes where there are no scenes.
