$29.28 $48 In stock

This title presents for the first time the candid (and entertaining) shoot diary kept by Lowenstein over the course of making ‘Dogs in Space’ between 1984 and 1987.
This volume showcases never-before-seen contact sheets, wardrobe polaroids and a collection of images from on set and behind the scenes. The book also features a selection of memorabilia and extracts from previously inaccessible reviews and articles about the film.

With humour and a distinct understanding of music, fashion and Melbourne in the early 1980s this book provides rare insights into the processes involved in actually making a film. It concludes with a brief reflection from Lowenstein, fresh from completing Mystify, his searing documentary on the life of Hutchence, on what has changed in filmmaking and what hasn’t over the past thirty years.

Timothy ★★★★★

The shoot diary entries from 1984 to 1987 feel so raw, like you're sneaking a peek at Lowenstein's actual notebook. I loved seeing the behind-the-scenes chaos leading up to the film, it made me appreciate the finished movie way more.

Victoria S. ★★★★★

I've been flipping through the candid diary entries from the 1984 to 1987 shoot—it's fascinating to see the raw, unvarnished take on the filmmaking process. The never-before-seen details really bring that era back to life.

Ruby ★★★★★

The candor of Lowenstein's shoot diary is the real draw here—it's raw, funny, and makes you feel like you're in the room during those chaotic 1984–1987 sessions. I've read a lot of film archives, but this one keeps the tone personal rather than academic, which I loved.
