We managed to make it onto the back page of the Australian today under the title “Poetry of the micro movie”, with an announcment about our award in Alsaka and with a vaguely inflamatory comment, which is good. Yesterday we got a mention in the Herald as “Street Sleeper” and also a spot on the news feed at IF magazine’s website…

I’ve also been passed on a link to this Alaskan Blog called “What Do I Know?” which has some very interesting writing about seeing the film and the very nature of Streetsweeper as a different film experience.

“Streetsweeper can be seen as a visual concert. Just as the symphony is sounds without verbal content, this was a series of visual images (with the added sense of sound). In his visual composition, Mansfield challenges us to look at things so ordinary that they have become invisible.”

The blog also features a 15 minute clip of Neil as silouhette talking about the film. Thanks for the heads up go to Neil’s brother Alan… TR
