Singles Club (2007)

Phoenix Lifestyle, founded in 1982, has 1,000 members in Melbourne. Singles Club follows the lives of five members as they seek partners. The camera follows the people as they attend club functions and date. They speak directly to camera about their lives. An unobtrusive commentary deepens our understanding of the characters.

The series was directed by four people who captured intimate and poignant moments in their subjects’ lives. The intimacy of seeing ordinary people living and making important decisions is well depicted. The range of ages and types of people is also well chosen.
