Disappear Here Q&A Screening

DISAPPEAR HERE (2025) Q & A EVENT SCREENING

Directed, edited, produced by Ben deHoedt

90mins (Australia)

The vexed question of how to live an artistic life is illustrated in DISAPPEAR HERE, the story of Australian 90's alternative group Glide and founding songwriter William Arthur - in an atmospheric, texturally rich exploration of thwarted ambition in the independent music scene of 1990's Sydney.   This extraordinary artist and the shifting sands of the music industry are revisited by band members as well as Aussie music industry luminaries including Tim Rogers (You Am I), Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Peter Fenton (Crow) and Jane Gazzo (ABC's Recovery and Triple J).  DISAPPEAR HERE is a completely independent production which was directed, shot, edited and written by Ben deHoedt.

About the Director

Ben deHoedt began documentary film making in recent years alongside his career as a youth mental health clinician in Melbourne. The balancing act of working with young people and families at a crossroads in their lives - and engaging in the creation of film and music in his "civilian" life - brings forth meaning and purpose which is evident in both sides of Ben's work.

For now using the medium of  "music documentary" film making, Ben is most concerned with weaving a spell, bringing the viewer into a world and finding the human relational themes in the stories he brings to the screen.
