Invention
director: Mark Lewis
other title: 建筑发明
Invention is an anthology of films by leading visual artist Mark Lewis shot in Paris, Sao Paulo and Toronto. From famous corners of the Louvre Museum to the modernist buildings of Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil and Mies van der Rohe in Canada, Lewis takes us on a whirling tour of cityscapes and creates a sense of moving images through glass, light, reflections, concrete, spiral staircases, paintings and people, as well as uncanny camera movement and trompe l'oeil. By being a contemporary homage to the City Symphony films of the 1920s, it becomes a love letter to urban spaces, art and cinema.

director: Mark Lewis
A fat, ugly creature whose sole purpose in life is the pursuit of sexual gratification is rapidly taking over Australia. The cane toad--Bufo marinus--was imported to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to rid the country of the Greyback beetle, which was devouring the sugarcane crop. Problem was, the beetle could fly, and the cane toad couldn't. What the cane toad was unusually proficient at, however, was making more cane toads. A very humorous look at a most peculiar problem.
