Performance film Pacific 3-2-1-Zero dramatically records the iconic work by renowned music/performance collective From Scratch, devised in 1981 as a protest against nuclear testing and waste dumping in the Pacific. Group leader/artist Phil Dadson, with players Wayne Laird and James McCarthy perform on invented and other instruments — from PVC pipes to biscuit-tins — arrayed in the shape of the peace symbol. Director Gregor Nicholas layers this rhythmic tour-de-force with facts and footage of nuclear testing.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
