Light and Data Films Details
Light and Data Films (LAD) was founded in early 2015 by Charles Tutton and Robert Letizi with a view to making a feature-length documentary about Australia and Indigenous painting. In many respects this project is the culmination of years of academic engagement with the film medium – Charles in ethnographic and digital cinema and Robert in the experience of sound, music, and the film image. We are keenly aware of the potential of cinema to communicate ideas that are often difficult to account for in other ways. This very rare quality means that at its best the medium is unavoidably an inspiring and illuminating art form due to its capacity to transcend our everyday experience. We would like to contribute to this tradition by producing films that offer intellectually meaningful perspectives while also realising an aesthetic vision that will sustain a powerful emotional engagement We are here to give rise to an ambitious project that we hope will travel down the pathway of the great filmmakers and films that we have admired. We hope that this website and the content that we generate for it will begin this process and also extend this pathway into new directions.
