DISAPPEAR HERE
A film by Ben deHoedt
"Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes" written by William Arthur, music by Glide

The vexed question of how to live an artistic life is illustrated in DISAPPEAR HERE, the story of Australian 90's alternative group Glide and founding songwriter William Arthur - in an atmospheric, texturally rich exploration of thwarted ambition in the independent music scene of 1990's Sydney. This extraordinary artist and the shifting sands of the music industry are revisited by band members as well as Aussie music industry luminaries including Tim Rogers (You Am I), Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Peter Fenton (Crow) and Jane Gazzo (ABC's Recovery and Triple J). DISAPPEAR HERE is a completely independent production which was directed, shot, edited and written by Ben deHoedt.

Who is this film for? Ben always intended for DISAPPEAR HERE to be seen by documentary fans, not just music documentary fans and not just fans of Glide. The themes of their story, the quality and appeal of William’s songs are universal. He also made the film to be seen on a big screen - despite having shot it on the tightest budget possible.
