The art of the matter

This is an unconventional series of portraits focusing on young, ambitious Australian artists. The unique feature here is that musician, stand-up comedian and composer Aleksey Idugesman functions as the presenter and interviewer, grilling the creative talent here in a manner which is both charming and provocative while also introducing a musical element. This special mixture of documentary portrait, comedy elements and re-enacted scenes creates portraits of the artists which are both refreshing and informative.
