<div><i>Unknown Pleasures</i> is proud to present a rare screening of Brisbane filmmaker Georgia Temple’s remarkable, Chantal Akerman inspired debut feature, "<i>Grace, who waits alone"</i></div><div><br></div><div>In an oppressive subtropical summer, supermarket worker Grace (played by Temple herself) harbours a limerent devotion for an absent lover. Continually tending to a wound on her abdomen which refuses to heal, she withdraws from the outside world.<br><br></div><div><br></div><div><i>“[The] first, stationary, shot of Grace, Who Waits Alone, which lingers for over a minute, is both representative of one of the film’s recurring visual motifs – detached depictions of a human body and technological device encased together in mausoleum-like interiors – and indicative of its status as an underground film. Such rigorous minimalism has its antecedents in the international film canon (the cinema of Chantal Akerman, Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Mark Rappaport), but it is unlikely to be found nowadays among the slate of even the most adventurous independent picture houses, let alone the multiplexes.” </i>– David Heslin, Metro Magazine</div>DramaPT1H17MR18+
