Art of the Real 2022
March 31 - April 7, 2022
A surprising and transformative road movie, David Easteal’s remarkable debut feature takes the viewer on a three-hour journey from a single perspective: that of a camera fixed in the backseat of a car, riding along with a middle-aged man on his evening commutes home from work through suburban Melbourne over the course of a year.
Q&A with David Easteal
David Easteal’s remarkable debut feature takes the viewer on a three-hour journey from a single perspective: that of a camera fixed in the backseat of a car, riding along with a middle-aged man on his evening commutes home from work through suburban Melbourne over the course of a year. The result is a surprising and transformative road movie: an exploration of an individual’s memories, relationships, and frustrations; a dryly comic juxtaposition between the tiny microcosm of the car and the world beyond; and a deep exploration of time’s rhythms.
