11 April 2026 ::: “Know Me” and “Forged from Fire – the making of the Blacksmiths’ Tree” film screenings. Films by Andrew Garton (Vic). 1-3pm.

“Know Me” is a poetic realism style film showing the interconnections between the forests of Sarawak and some of the Indigenous peoples living there, as well as the impacts of biomass loss over time. The film weaves 1955-1963 8mm footage filmed by British WW2 veteran and linguist, Ian Urquhart with Andrew Garton’s DV8, HDV and HD footage filmed between 1999-2014, along with time-lapse animations by artist, Mirranda Burton. It’s a unique glimpse at a special place and culture at risk of further loss.

“Forged From Fire – The Making of The Blacksmiths’ Tree” tells the story of the Australian and international community of blacksmiths, artists, welders and volunteers working together following the tragic and traumatic 2009 Black Saturday bush fires to create The Blacksmiths’ Tree, a three tonne, 9.8 meter tall gum tree made from copper and stainless steel. The film shows that beauty can come from resilient and connected communities during the recovery period following an horrific event such as this.

Untethered from traditional materials and physical constraints, it serves as both a conceptual studio and an experimental exhibition space; where ideas, experiences, and interpretations take centre stage.”
