Film Note is Rachel O’Reilly’s first output from her ongoing artistic research project The Gas Imaginary (2014), which explores forms and norms of unconventional extraction in the area of Gladstone harbor. She started this research while travelling to Australia to visit her father during the final stages of his terminal illness.
