Bondi Tsunami at The Australian National Film and Sound Archive
Original costumes, props, photographs, artefacts and hard drives (yes… a vintage 2002 Mac tower…rather than reels of film) from the Bondi Tsunami movie were recently obtained by the Australian National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra. The collection will offer future generations an insight into the new wave of 00’s Australian guerrilla filmmaking (enabled by digital cameras, editing software and domestic technology). The Bondi Tsunami movie collection also includes favourite op-shop pieces from Kimiko’s spectacular wardrobe and drag queen shoe collection, Gunja Man’s dreadlocks, Shark’s sunglasses, hat and jacket and Yuto’s famous `Strewth’,'You Little Ripper’ and ‘Sen-Bloody-Sational” -t-shirts, plus the much beloved sheep, kangaroo, wombat on ski’s, zebra and majenta carseat covers, to original drawings and heaps of other making of memorbilia. We are still in negotiations on the final resting place of the movie car (it still runs perfectly)- so if there are any 1961 EK Holden buffs out there, Sushi Bar designers, movie collectors, or rock n’ roll Japanese entrpreneurs looking for a little piece of Australian that never ceases to draw attention history- now is your chance to make us an offer we can’t refuse!!
