Dr. Miška Mandić is an artist, filmmaker and educator born in SFR Yugoslavia, living on Gadigal and Wangal Land. Through a cinematic and photographic practice, her works explore the interrelated relationship between cinema, colonial-capitalism and a structuring of time. She looks at how a cinematic practice can consciously orient itself towards a sense of time alternate to the accelerated temporal experience of colonial-capitalist Western modernity, in the process carving out a wily and responsive model of relational enmeshment with the ecologies of production. Miška’s works have been shown at numerous galleries and festivals. Miška has worked in the editorial departments on Australian feature films including Warwick Thornton’s Sweet Country and The New Boy starring Cate Blanchett, Robert Connolly’s Paper Planes, and had a career as a musician in the band teenagersintokyo.
