I’m Jeremy Elphick. A 26-year-old journalist, filmmaker and musician working between video, sound and writing.
My writing and research outside of film has been largely in the realms of sound and music or geopolitics and international relations. In terms of music, I have spoken with figures such as Jazz legend Sonny Rollins, as well as written for the UK music publication The Wire.
I worked with Omid Tofighian, Behrouz Boochani, Arash Sarvestani and Janet Gailbraith on a dossier titled “Carceral-Border Cinema: The Film from Manus Prison”, appearing in Issue 18 of the film and media journal, Alphaville. My piece on Cinematic Poetics and Reclaiming History can be read here.
In my time as co-founder and one of two managing editors for the Australian film website, 4:3, I’ve conducted 60 interviews and written over 100 reviews.
