Dianna
Barrie

Dianna Barrie (b. 1972, Melbourne) found her way into filmmaking as a middle ground between the pursuit of abstract music and philosophy. Ever pushing the limits of the hand processing of super 8 led to the establishment of nanolab, a commercial super8 lab, with Richard Tuohy in 2006. Dianna's film work could be characterised as "direct chemical" filmmaking involving interventions during hand processing and exacting editing and/or printing processes; they are then completed with simple layered sound constructions. This exploration has spread beyond individual work to her joint establishment in 2012 of Artist Film Workshop in Melbourne.
