La littérature constitue une source d’inspiration essentielle pour le cinéma. Le cinéma d’Orient ne fait pas exception.

Meet the Filmmakers - Wednesday, February 28th

These images are from a lost film I made many years ago, which was a work of imagination, inspired by Tahiti, but made in Australia.This film, entitled "The Rhododendron People" was originally shot on colour 16mm format, and screened at The St Kilda Film Festival. In the film, an artist 'attempts to capture Tahiti' on canvas. In his paintings, he blends nature, with the people, in his world, calling them "The Rhodode
