“With congested roads, under used seats, high emission levels and fuel consumption, alternate efficient means of transport are highly sought after at this time and into the future. Electric powered and hybrid vehicles are making their way into the consumer market and are changing consumer perceptions as to what can power our vehicles. However, through all this change there has been one thing that remains the same; human power. Bicycles have been around since the wheel was invented and have evolved into a highly efficient means of personal transport in most situations. Getting from A to B is easy, however, some downfalls convince people to travel in the car nine out of ten times. .

Lovely little short film by Glendyn Ivin.
“Eddie spends her pocket money obsessively hoarding fireworks and carefully planning for cracker night. When it finally it arrives, Eddie and her family head to the local football oval. In the frosty air Eddie lights the fuse of her first cracker and experiences a pivotal moment, one of the seemingly small experiences of childhood, that affects us for the rest of our lives.
Set in the 1980s, Cracker Bag is a gentle suburban observation which subtly reflects a disenchanting prelude to the coming of age. ”

Winner of the Palme D’Or – Short Film Cannes Film Festival 2003.
Directed by Glendyn Ivin, Produced by Jane Liscombe, Director of Photography Greig Fraser, Edited by Jack Hutchings.
