39th edition 2024 short & midlength films
Inner City
Jennifer Sun Baulch
Confined for days to her apartment in a high-rise building in inner-city Melbourne while studying for university exams, Fei Fei, a graduate student from Shanghai, breaks from her routine and descends to the outside below.
Jennifer Sun Baulch is an artist and filmmaker. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) (Hons) specialising in Gold and Silversmithing from RMIT University. Inner City is her debut film.
A word from the selection committee:
Jennifer S. Baulch’s first short film first invites us to look through the window of an apartment perched on the 58th floor of a residential building. The weather is overcast over a nondescript modern city that stretches as far as the eye can see. For a moment, we could think it is Shanghai - the hometown of the student striving to follow a remote class on her computer, as if the habits of the lockdown had become the norm. However, the geographic mystery subsides in the public transportation system: Melbourne is revealed through its suburban neighbourhoods, through each minute detail of the layout of a portico or a garden, suggesting the presence of anonymous beings behind the walls of their homes. Talking to her aunt about those who have remained in China, the young woman fills the space and forgets, if only for an evening, her giant steel ghost of a skyscraper.
