Another unknown relic of Australian New Wave given to me by Paul Bugden. Written and Directed by his friend and founder of Ubu Films David. E Perry. Surprisingly little information can be found about this film online. So , like with most of the obscure films in my collection, I took the liberty to add it to online databases myself. What follows is a simple premise of a young boy. With such little to do, he wanders around Sydney playing sheriff with his toy gun. However, this state of monotony takes a sudden turn when he encounters a group of older boys. It's a plot complete with motifs and analogies of the old west in the form of child's play. Some parts of this film visually remind me of Adam and Vision for a New World in how it depicts Sydney as this grey-scaled land of desolation. Almost voided of human life with the exception of our central characters. It's a pretty stripped back low budget short with a lot of flute solos to company the soundtrack. If there is one flagship element of this film, it would be that it captures the uneventful parts of childhood quite accurately.
