WHAT IF faces from the past were visible again, watching us in our streets and laneways?

UNGUARDED MOMENTS was the City of Sydney's Village Art project for Art & About Sydney 2011, based this September and October in Millers Point. The last night for projections was Sunday 23 October 2011.

Produced in partnership with creative studio killanoodle and researcher & producer Sarah Barns, Unguarded Moments presents a series of site-specific film portraits capturing the changing faces of Millers Point.

FILM PROJECTIONS: Wander through the area experiencing the living history of the streets as captured on film. Projections draw from documentary films and photographs, featuring past & present residents and workers. In this way, the history of the working port, its waterside workers and its residents will be re-inscribed back into its present day environment, connecting us to the area’s living history and the ties existing within the community today.

To see the projections begin at Abraham Mott Hall, walk down Kent Street towards Walsh Bay and Windmill Steps, then along Hickson Road towards Sydney Harbour Bridge, where you’ll finish up at the roundabout near Pottinger Street. We recommend you download and print this guide which includes a map and addresses of all locations.

EXPLORE MORE ONLINE: We've created this website to provide some more in-depth coverage of the many different films, photographs, and people that feature in the film projections. You can also listen in to past and present residents recall some memorable moments in Millers Point over the years.
