Last night we were treated to an impressive live painting demonstration at Next: A Street Party, following the screening of the international street art doco Next: A Primer on Urban Painting at Sydney's Canadian Film Festival.
Hundreds of people turned up to the film premiere at the Chauvel and subsequent block party at The Record Store in Surry Hills. Five artists from Australia and New Zealand participated in a large-scale painting demonstration as crowds gathered, watched, drank free Canadian beer and hung out to the sounds of local DJ's.
Bouts of rain couldn't dampen the painters' spirits as residents joined film festival guests and street art enthusiasts for beer and sausages. Check out the result on the walls of The Record Store, near the corner of Crown and Goulburn streets in Surry Hills.
Possible Worlds, Sydney's Canadian Film Festival started Thursday with the Australian premiere of Familia, presented by Montreal filmmaker Louise Archambault to a packed auditorium at the Chauvel Cinema. Subsequent screenings have included ACoN benefit 3 Needles, box-office smash Bon Cop Bad Cop and Sidekick, Canada's first superhero movie, presented by Toronto writer and producer Michael Sparaga.
