Chase The Buffalo by Cara Teusner-Gartland: KTN4 Residency Showing

This project is about the Fremantle Buffalo Club in all its tumultuous glory: from its origin under the banners of the Royal Antediluvian order of Buffaloes, to the heyday of America’s cup, and now the next wave of young folks taking on the legacy.

You are invited to a work-in-progress screening of the short film Chase The Buffalo, the result of Cara Teusner-Gartland’s Know Thy Neighbour #4: Gestures residency, with food and drinks.

The film was developed as part of an ongoing oral history series with Fremantle Buffalo Club members, documenting and archiving the Club's history from its inception by the Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes from 1938 until being incorporated as a not-for-profit in 1964, and is now by members elected to a volunteer committee.

Chase The Buffalo explores the complexities, challenges and triumphs of maintaining a multigenerational, volunteer run community space who's members wish to see its histories remembered and legacy continued for many years to come.

Arrive from 3.30pm for food, drinks and chats, followed by the screening and a feedback session.

Photography and videography will occur at this event.

Date: Sunday 28 November
Time: 3.30-5.30pm (screening approx 4.45pm)
Location: The Fremantle Naval Store
