[Watch] Consuming Culture

[Watch] Consuming Culture

Watch visiting international critics Miriam Bale and Maya S. Cade along with Sweet Milk Lake’s Harvey Zielinski and host Michael Sun for a lively chat through the what and the why of pop culture right now.

Each year at the Melbourne International Film Festival, a panel of Critics Campus mentors and guests gather to dissect the highs and lows of the zeitgeist. Host Michael Sun joins Los Angeles-based film programmer and critic Miriam Bale, writer and creator/curator of Black Film Archive Maya S. Cade who originally hails from New Orleans, and Melbourne’s own Harvey Zielinski – the writer, director and star of MIFF’s Bright Horizons Competition film Sweet Milk Lake. They discuss the most overrated, underrated and personal-favourite moments in movies, TV, podcasts and books of the past 12 months.

There’ll be hot takes, heated discussions and great recommendations to enjoy post-festival.


Originally presented on Saturday 15 August by The Wheeler Centre in partnership with Melbourne International Film Festival.
