avondale-bepress-to-dspace.summary<p>Research Background: The Meaning of Vanlife is a creative practice project which was produced, directed and written by Avondale lecturers in conjunction with STAN Originals and Fighting Chance Pictures. The feature-length documentary not only explores documentary filmmaking – in particular, “lifestyle documentary”, but also asked the question - What is the meaning of this cultural movement – the “vanlife”? The observational documentary followed the Instagram phenomenon @vanlifediaries on a journey across both Australia, the United States, Canada, and Germany, to discover why this cultural movement has occurred and what it means to the people who live it. </p> <p>Research Contribution: This is the first feature-length documentary to be made about the Vanlife movement and the first to be commissioned and distributed by a major streaming platform and the first to be funded by Screen Australia. The film offers not only a unique perspective as an observational documentary – the filmmakers lived the vanlife – but also offer new knowledge of a cultural movement of significant demographic size. </p> <p>Research Significance: The Meaning of Vanlife is a cultural study of a significant movement within Australia and North America and has received funding from STAN and Screen Australia. It was officially selected to premiere at the Arizona Film Festival where it also won the Best Foreign Documentary prize. </p>

A movement that exemplifies a deeper societal trend towards minimalism and authentic community building.</p>
