Intermission: Who is Miss Roder?

A narrative in three parts where Miss Roder may or may not be revealed. Late at night in an old warehouse in Flinders Lane, Melbourne, a search will be conducted. Employing tactics of confusion, observation, surveillance, and confession, we look for the answers to the question; Who is Miss Roder?

Artists from London, Chicago, Brisbane and Melbourne chart the extremity of analogue and digital performance, with influences including expanded cinema, noise, video mixing, and contemporary performance. Each work explores performance within cinema through various means—from the prepared screens of Guy Sherwin, the responsive environment played by Jon Pak, to the ritualised actions of Ben Russell. Intermission: Who is Miss Roder? will leave a lasting memory of captured images in a woven narrative that brings gesture, intervention, and feedback to the fore of the cinematic experience.

Audiences will move from one installation to the next - screens, sound desks, 16mm projections, soundscapes, an enigmatic narrative—all part of the search for the elusive Miss Roder.

Presented by MIFF and Greyspace in association with Otherfilm, supported by Arts House. Each program can be enjoyed on its own, or as a part of the Miss Roder series.
