Arlo Dean Cook on capturing decades of one of Australia’s greatest bands on film with Jebediah: Are We OK?

When I think of the sounds of Western Australia, the licks of Wide Open Road by the Triffids hits my mind, or maybe The Waifs yearning to be back in London, or occasionally it'll be a wistful memory of a cleaner dancers in a mental health facility pop up in my mind. But drowning all of those sounds out is the infectious licks of guitars and bass from Chris Daymond, Kevin Mitchell, Ness Thornton, and the thumping drums of Brett Mitchell, all of whom make up Jebediah. Soundtracks to growing up don't get much better than the one-two punch of Slightly Odway and Of Someday Shambles, tracks that spoke to my youthful boredom and the malaise of growing up in Perth. Here was a language that I understood. Thirty years on, and Jebediah are still going strong and still speaking a language many of us West Aussies - and the rest of Australia too, can't forget about them - speak. As a culmination of that longevity, filmmaker (and muso in his own right) Arlo Cook spent ten years following the band, interviewing them and capturing gigs, all the while combing through decades of archival material to pull together the brilliant doco Jebediah: Are We Ok? Arlo talks in depth about making Jebediah: Are We Ok? in the following interview, including discussions about his own music journey too. Jebediah: Are We Ok? has Q&A sessions running around Australia from 2 October 2026.

Stéphane Demoustier on the battle between vision and reality in The Great Arch

In the early 1980s President François Mitterrand had a bold vision for Paris. It was his intention to create a new artistic epoch that would be as new and as hopeful as his election as the first left-wing leader of the Fifth Republic. Part of his vision was the Grandes Opérations d'Architecture et d'Urbanisme. Amongst these projects were the Louvre Pyramid, the Musée d'Orsay, Opéra Bastille, and La Grande Arche de la Défense — the building of which is the subject of Stéphane Demoustier’s partially fictional film The Great Arch. the Curb... is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

Tom Kerby on setting the foundation for Aussie filmmakers to embrace their own voices with the Adelaide Independent Film Festival

There's something in the water in Adelaide that's forcing a major change within the Australian film industry. The Adelaide Film Festival exists and has continued their great financial support for establish and emerging filmmakers, helping nurture the budding ecosystem which has seen talent like the Philippou brothers explode into the world and change how modern Australian films and filmmakers are seen. Elsewhere in Adelaide is something that's equally nurturing the next generation of Australian filmmakers: the Adelaide Independent Film Festival. This festival provides foundational support to filmmakers of all kinds, established, emerging, otherwise, to present and share their stories on screens. The use of the word 'independent' is not an accident, it's a feature that enhances the position and purpose of supporting independent filmmakers in Australia. Tom Kerby is the Festival Director & Programmer, and it's with his shared vision alongside the many talented folks who bring the festival to life, that independent voices are supported through the festival. The fourth edition of the Adelaide Independent Film Festival kicks off from 3 - 4 October 2026 and features screenings, workshops, and a lot more. In the below interview, Tom talks through the purpose of the festival, what his vision is for the festival, and what attendees can expect for this years events. https://auteursforum.com/aiff26 the Curb... is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

Meet the film festival programmers who want you to submit your film shot on a Honda Odyssey rear view camera

As you'll hear in the below interview with festival programmers Parker Constantine and Flynn Boffo, I have a huge level of admiration for the work that The Collective of Underground Movie Lovers is doing in Sydney right now. This kind of grass roots, film enthusiast film collective is part of the changing face of Australian cinema. Through people like Parker and Flynn, creativity thrives, it grows, it survives.
