What is Backyard about?
“This was my first film using the matte-box. Using images of my own backyard, I found that I could create a kind of mysterious story, an almost supernatural effect. The mystery is never revealed, but there is something there. By photographing tiny vertical slivers through different mattes and lenses, carefully rewinding the film in the camera, then exposing bit by bit, I achieved this ‘corrugated’ effect. All of a sudden you get motion in something where there is no motion.” (Paul Winkler) The film reflects a distinct Australia style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Paul Winkler. With a runtime of 15 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
