Jane Campion’s playful, poignant 1983 collaboration with Sweetie co-writer Gerard Lee finds the magic in life’s everyday details.

Set over a single spring day in the Sydney suburbs, this charming collection of comic vignettes catches ordinary people in their most absurdly quotidian, bound together by wry narration and Jane Campion’s distinctive black-and-white cinematography. Although AFTRS attempted to confiscate the film, which was shot without permission on their equipment, Campion enlisted a friend to pose as a European programmer and request it from the school, resulting in the short screening in Cannes’s Un Certain Regard section in 1986.
