It is the story of a character in a black-and-white silent film, who transcends the medium and in doing so changes with it.
Written and directed by Adam White, the story pays homage to the era of film when silent pictures were being superseded by talkies.
The film was shot on Super16 in studios and locations in Melbourne during September and October 2004.
A Black and White World is the story of Johnny (Scott Brennan – skitHOUSE), a character on a quest to win back the heart of Mary (Isabella Dunwill), his estranged girlfriend - Adam White based the story on his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
The film uses its simple narrative as a framework to take viewers on a rollercoaster ride through film history as Johnny escapes from his black & white silent filmstrip and encounters sound and colour for the first time.
