Hey Al, Baby (1969)

Directed by David Minter

Overview

Life inside a late 1960s Carlton student share house plays out across six alternately comedic and melancholy real-time vignettes.  When his friend takes a trip, cinephile Al is left alone for the weekend with three female housemates, a situation that only serves to exacerbate his social awkwardness. One of the most distinctive works to emerge from the ‘Carlton ripple’, David Minter’s 1969 slice-of-life comedy carries echoes of Éric Rohmer’s moral tales.

Length 34 minutes
