Philip Brophy collects pocket ‘portraits’ of record buyers and listeners, breakdancers and pogo-stick jumpers, a radio DJ and a drum-machine programmer.

Made on super-8 in riposte to Gillian Armstrong’s Starstruck (MIFF 2017), the original version of No Dance screened in nightclubs until it fell apart. Brophy’s 16mm 1985 remake, screening here in a 4K restoration, won an AFI Award for Best Experimental Film and Best Australian short at MIFF 1985.
