As the UK’s Guardian newspaper reported in November 2011, “a sludgy image of the grey Rhine under grey skies” sold at auction in New York for $4,338,500 (including buyer’s premium).

Inspired by nostalgia for mix-tapes and an excuse to shoot more film, the Melbourne Silver Mine recently held what we hope to be the first of many film swap projects.
