Through the experiences of the main characters, Bridie and Sheila, Misto creates vivid and distinctive images of the suffering they endured and the strength they had to survive. Similarly ‘Gallipoli’ by Peter Weir captures this through the distinctively visual horrific journey of the main characters Archie and Fran. Both composers explore concepts of suffering, survival and strength in their texts, confronting their…

For example, when Ava put on the first piece of skin she lingers over it and the camera follows her lingering stare. This moment was easy to miss the first time viewing the film but watching this sequence over and over, it becomes clear that the audience isn’t just being shown the skin, but they are being shown what Ava sees.

Specifically how the daily flow of commuters, which he describes as “a river of people” flowed similar in spirit to the dialogue he seeks when placing works in relation to a real river. Understandably the idea of a snowball is generally known, but not…
