- ROAR: MELBOURNE EXPRESSIONISM IN THE 1980S This program focuses on the establishment of Roar
studios in Melbourne in 1982. Outlines the social circumstances which gave rise to the gallery and lists the main philosophies under which
it was run. Through interviews with some of the founding Roar artists - who have since become significant painters and sculptors in their

studies of international movements as well as local art. Stylistic differences and similarities among the group are also analysed. 25 mins
