“Film Stills from Westerns” opens tonight!
Over the last two weeks, Sydney College of Arts’ Masters canditate has been in residence developing a new a web-based project designed to discover and examine the visual patterns that occur within the repetitious themes and imagery of ‘The Western’ film genre.
