His experimental films are less well known than his paintings and prints yet stretch throughout his entire career over the past five decades. As a child at school he found refuge in art and by chance discovered a copy of a book by Eisenstein on filmmaking in the school art library. The book was a profound inspiration. While at a school cadet camp in 1958, he went to a screening of a film by Rene Clair and later recalled ‘Even with the heckling and booing of the other school boys, I had never seen anything so miraculous in my life, this film made me realise that film is art and not the simplified stuff that I had grown up on. 3DVDs Code: GS-Exp Uni A$350 / School A$210

David Perry Experimental Films David Perry is unique among Australian artists in that he is equally competent in making paintings, drawings, prints, posters, photographs, films and videotapes. In work encompassing more than half a century, he has demonstrated his proficiency in these media, with his art exhibited in international film and video festivals and leading art galleries. To some extent, this versatility has counted against him, since he has been unclassifiable, a hybrid for which there is no name, other than multimedia artist, though this has come to mean someone who combines mediums, which David rarely does. With other experimental filmmakers, David faced a prevailing anti-art discourse and obsession with national narrative cinema. His very early film experiments on 8mm in the early 1950s stand out as among the first self-consciously artistic films in the nation. 2 DVDs Code: DP-Exp Uni A$320 / School A$272

He was associated with Corinne and Arthur Cantrill, Albie Thoms and David Perry in pioneering local experimental film production in the 1960s. Winkler characterises his films as “a synthesis of intellect and emotion, filtered through the plastic material of film”. “I try to let ‘imagines’ flow freely to the surface”. The ideas which he terms ‘imagines’ may reflect Australian icons like Bondi Beach, Ayers Rock/ Uluru and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or textures, as in Bark/Rind, Green Canopy, and the bush.
