Before she directed Sweetie (1989) Jane Campion made a handful of short films all of which are worth seeking out. Passionless Moments (1983) is a 10-minute collection of musings, reflections or simple awkwardness among the inhabitants of Sydney, Australia on a single day in October. Gerard Lee was the writer, and among the rest of the crew there’s some photography by Alex Proyas, later to be a successful director himself.
