Jennifer was born in Sydney, grew up in Adelaide and currently lives near Fremantle, Western Australia. She has submitted a Ph.D. in Asian Studies (contemporary Indonesian visual art and film) with an MCC component 9documentary). Prior to this, Jennifer was an artist, designer and arts administrator for thirty years, creating, producing and exhibiting widely both in Australia and overseas. She also curated the work of other artists. CV - (word document) Jennifer has intermittently lived and worked in Indonesia, and has taught at secondary and tertiary levels in various cities in Australia. She worked on the AP Lands of North-West South Australia as the Art Co-ordinator. of Ernabella Arts Incorporated. In 1997, she began working with photography, digital media, video and film, aided by a digital retraining grant from the AFC. As a filmmaker, now working as Jennifer Delandeys for her production company Delandeys Drive Productions, Jennifer has made several short films and documentaries, independently and with facilitation from FTI, Fremantle, CTV, Perth, and Murdoch University. Now for the personal filmmaker's voice. S ince 1999, my documentary and short film work includes “Making Mandalas”, “Road Stories: Cone”, "Fang and the Pangea Gravy Train at the Fremantle Festival, 1999", “Perbatasan / Boundaries: Lucia Hartini, Paintings from a Life ” (2000 - 2002), “Ratna and Aisha Talk Hair” and “Grazia’s Hairdo: A Garden in My Hair” (2000) . All have screened and several have been broadcast on Access 31. “Perbatasan/Boundaries” has also screened in Indonesia as well as Australia, as has "Cone". Jennifer has worked as crew documenting Iwan Wijono's performance project "Piknik Bersama Gelandangan / Picnic With Homeless People" for Jakart, 2001, and for the Iranian program on Access 31 - before the BAM earthquake and Iran's decision to go down the nuclear path. Thus the anti-nuclear position I take in three of the films listed above remains uncompromised. Two of the short films in Braided Lives were screened as part of my installation for the touring exhibition "Tracking Cloths" (2002-2004). Additional texts and Quicktimes will be added to this site regularly. Not all will be new: like Meditations on a Witch's Hat, these may be papers devised for conferences in the past and published electronically in the early days of researching and writing my thesis. Some will contain a small window through which visitors can access relevant commentary written since and hyperlinks to other sites of related interest (when I have time and a bigger site). As other matters of interest arise, these papers will be listed as publications: some will be archived in full elsewhere. When quoting from any of the listed texts, please acknowledge author and publishers: eg.Meditation on a Witch's Hat was first published electronically by Curtin University and can be found on the CD-Rom compilation of conference papers for the Habitus Conference, Perth, 2000. Road Stories: Cone was produced through CTV Perth. Music copyrights apply to the music sourced for the score of Road Stories: Cone, for which I am the arranger. For those interested in Yogyakarta, Indonesia because of the earthquake and the eruption of Gunung Merapi (Mt. Merapi), Bambang Hari Wibisono's paper about Malioboro the famous central street of Yogyakarta is also published on this compilation. Invitation to a Picnic was first published on the "Journeys 04 " site of the Australian International Documentary Conference in Fremantle,February 2004. Extracts from the article Select Snapshots appeared until recently on http://raven.dartmouth.edu/%7egamelan/javafred/rd_dudley.htm Thanks to Mark Busani and Andrew Tapsall for their assistance in helping me maintain this site and devising layout of the papers appearing on it - except for the long single "Braids" page which was created by Vicky Wallace in Wollongong.
