AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Those were the days, when you could have no income to speak of and still live in Collingwood. I managed it myself for a few years as a recovering arts student, when I moved with a couple of friends into a three-bedroom workers’ cottage off Smith St, total rent just over 200 dollars a week. The protagonists of Bill Mousoulis’ Lovesick (2002) would have been paying even less for their one-bedroom apartment further down the hill, upstairs in a red-brick six-pack, as inner-suburban Melbourne as it gets.' (Introduction)

    'Fresh from the lands of the Kulin Nations, welcome to Issue 105 of Senses of Cinema! Guest editor Xiang Fan has curated a dossier on Cinema and Piracy that honours the diversity of filmgoing experiences across a broad spectrum of geo-political contexts. In lieu of the binaries between property and ownership that normally frame these debates, what emerges is a critical reading of power in the seventh art. As Fan writes, “This dossier is dedicated to the heterogeneous piracy practices that are integral to an alternative film culture.”' (Editorial introduction)
