Project Summary
The New New Wave is a feature documentary currently in production with Light Sound Art Film, directed by Jolyon Hoff and produced by Hamish Ludbrook. The film documents the resurgence of celluloid filmmaking in Australia, coinciding with the opening of two new film processing labs in 2026: Chroma Film Lab in Melbourne and CoLab in Byron Bay. The documentary explores why contemporary filmmakers are returning to 16mm and 35mm formats, investigating whether the movement represents resistance against AI or a search for authenticity in a digital world. Financing comes from Light Sound Art Film, private investors, Byron Bay post house Post-11, and the South Australian Film Corporation, with Antidote handling distribution. The production is actively seeking filmmakers who shoot on film to contribute footage and participate in on-camera interviews about their choice of medium.
