About
The basement lectures | Students of cinema, with Adrian Danks, Peter Leiss and Mimmo CozzolinoPaul Cox joined the photography department of Prahran College in the late 1960s and saw his time at the College as something as an apprenticeship in which he learnt to make movies alongside the students he taught. Whilst at Prahran, his films offered collaborative opportunities for students, graduates and fellow staff – a model of working that Cox would take into her later feature-film career and would help him become recognised as Australia’s most prolific film auteur.
Join Prahan alumni Peter Leiss and Mimmo Cozzolino with award-winning critic and essayist Adrian Danks to discuss film-making at Prahan College and watch short films, including Leiss’s 16 mm three-minute student film Metamorphosis(1970) based on the Franz Kafka novella of the same title, and Bad hair day (1970) by Mimmo Cozzolino.
