    Laura Brogan Browne on starting the conversation about grooming with the powerful short film Allegedly

    Multi-hyphenate talent Laura Brogan Browne is the voice behind the powerful short film Allegedly, an impactful story about Clover (Bailey Spalding), a high school graduate who participates in an anonymous survey she's sent by her high school mentor and former teacher. What initially presents as an innocuous student-teacher relationship transforms into a predatory experience for Clover. Allegedly is based on true events and stands as an important conversation starter for the impact of grooming and predatory behaviour in society. The narrative envelopes you alongside compelling performances from Bailey Spalding, Laura Brogan Browne, and Benjamin Mathews, each of whom draws you in to engage with the film with empathy and understanding. In this interview, Laura talks through her creative process as a storyteller both in front of the camera and behind the camera, why she needed to start the conversation about grooming on screen, and how she manages the mental and emotional process that comes with engaging with heavy or triggering material. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

    Unpacking Oi, Aussie voices, and queer identity on screen with Sophie Serisier & Laneikka Denne

    For regular readers of the Curb..., you'll no doubt be familiar with the admiration and respect that I have for Laneikka Denne and the cohort of filmmakers and storytellers they've worked with over their career. The pinnacle of that admiration came in 2024 with the short film Oi, directed by the equally great Sophie Serisier. That film sat comfortably at the top of my Best Australian Films of the year list, a statement that's been further cemented over time. Both Sophie and Laneikka have worked alongside David Robinson-Smith on films like Mud Crab and We Used to Own Houses, films that aren't the result of a singular vision, but rather echoes of a landscape, divined into existence through the communal efforts of creative folks who have infrequently seen themselves on screen. In this expansive interview, Laneikka and Sophie unpack Australiana, queer identity, their collaborative work, and the depth of Oi, plus much more. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

    Alana Hunt on mining the history of Western Australia through archives with Displacement and Replacement: A Remixed Narrative of Western Australia

    Alana Hunt is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores history through a forensic approach to research. Her work mines the history of Australia, often utilising archival material to navigate the violent, colonial past.  In her 2023 work, Surveilling a Crime Scene, Hunt navigates the materialisation of non-Indigenous life on Miriwoong Country in the town of Kununurra. That exploration brings forth the often violent terminology utilised to demean and dehumanise First Nations people of the region.  In her latest work, Displacement and Replacement: A Remixed Narrative of Western Australia, a film that utilises the archived work of Bryan Lobascher to present the manner that violence permeates through the landscape, films that utilise terminology to suggest that there is nothing of value living on and with that land. Lobascher's work presents in a beautific and adoring manner a level of cruel environmental destruction that has continued over the decades of Western Australia's mining existence. Hunt's work asks viewers to sit with that violence, understand its place in the present and to reconsider the past. These remixed films are interspersed with harsh sounds that inflict a sensory impact that leads us to further question the status quo. In the following interview, Alana discusses her processes as an artists, how she explores an archive and draws stories out, and more. Displacement and Replacement: A Remixed Narrative of Western Australia screens at Revelation Perth International Film Festival on Saturday 11 July 2026. Tickets are available via RevelationFilmFest.org. Sign up for the latest interviews, reviews, and more via https://www.thecurb.com.au/subscribe/ Hosted on Acast.

    Balancing Identities: Vonne Patiag on the lingering weight of his short film Homo

    Vonne Patiag has been forging a path in film and TV as a writer, director, and actor on shows like Halal Gurls and The Unusual Suspects, and films like Here Out West, Too Many Ethnics, and his new short film Homo, which has its world premiere at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival on 10 July 2026. As you'll hear in the following interview, I found the film utterly beautiful and sweet in the moment, but hours later, I felt myself moved to tears by the memory of Rem and Mark's interactions. As a short film, Homo is stunning, but as a template for what Vonne's feature film will look like, it's one heck of a calling card. In the following interview, Vonne unpacks the exploration of identities in Homo, while also exploring what queer Australian cinema looks like right now. Homo screens at Revelation Perth International Film Festival alongside On the Road on 10 July and 17 July 2026.

    e-Mum Director Jess Londono on motherhood in the age of AI

    Filmmaker Jess Londono's short film e-Mum is a slightly satirical, completely engaging exploration on motherhood in the age of AI. Emma lives a solitary life with no partner or kids, a point of contention between her estranged mum and her. As an intrusion on Emma's life, her mum delivers an android daughter for her to look after. In Emma's eyes, this AI creation is a mere tool, something that exists to do the tasks that she has no interest in undertaking herself. Emma finds herself gaining a connection with the robot, something that's jeopardised when it goes on the blink and she's left with a human shaped ornament rather than something she can engage with. In the following interview, Jess talks about her vision as a filmmaker, where the idea of e-Mum came from, and her hopes to bring a Colombian sensibility to Australian films. This interview was recorded ahead of e-Mum's screening at the 2026 Flickerfest, and is being published ahead of the upcoming screening at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival on 12 & 14 July 2026 as part of the WA Off Kilter Shorts line-up. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

    David West on breaking cinema with the hyper independent Lint

    Lint is the first feature film from Boorloo-Perth polymath David West. It's a hyper independent West Aussie film about Iris (Melissa Coci) and Susan (Courtney Swartz), colleagues who work at an environmentally friendly dry cleaning company who conspire to bring down their sleazy boss Vincent (Tom Camp). Along the way, they get distracted by dinners with friends, tennis lessons, and more, all the while their exploits are interspersed with sultry shots of Vincent against the backdrop of sunsets. This interview with David was recorded in May 2025 after Lint screened at the WA Made Film Festival and has been sitting, waiting to be birthed into public existence ever since. What better time to release it than ahead of the VHS Tracking Presents... screening of Lint at Goolugatup on 17 June 2026 between 6:30pm - 9pm. Tickets are free and available now, so if you're around, head along and support Aussie cinema. The interview starts as you might expect: with a conversation about goats. David's Zoom profile picture was that of a goat, which spurred a discussion about how great goats are. What happens after that, well, you'll discover as you listen. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.
