MIFF “Not Quite Hollywood”
July 28th 2008 07:03
“To open our festival with a Premiere Fund Film in the first year of its operation is obviously a historic and important moment for us. Mark Hartley’s film is a rigorous and serious film exploring an untold story of Australian film but it’s also tremendously entertaining – I can’t wait to feel the audience reaction to its World premiere screening”, said Executive Director Richard Moore

Great Escape on Big Screen
July 19th 2008 05:26
This Sunday the Chauvel Cinema will be screening THE GREAT ESCAPE at 4pm upstairs at the Paddington Town Hall.
If you have never seen this classic on the big screen, you'd be a fool not to get out of the house or pub and head on down to catch Steve McQueen ( not the director of HUNGER fame) but the other great Steve and all his mates as they make their bid for freedom.

Film Betty & Joe seek missing extras
July 16th 2008 12:06
In December 2004, you may have walked in front of the camera during the filming of The Ballad of Betty & Joe in Central Railway’s Devonshire Street Tunnel and made it into the film. Or you may have been one of 150 extras who danced wildly out of the tunnel into the city. At last, the film is finished but, regrettably, we have lost touch with some of you. So if you remember having been in the midst of our filming, claim your fifteen seconds of fame by showing up at our fabulous cast and crew party, Wednesday, July 23. Identify yourself on screen, and get your free DVD. For information on the venue and entry into what promises to be a unique launch party, contact: judex@zipworld.com.au or Rivka Hartman 93494934.
The Ballad of Betty & Joe is a silent comedy, with music by leading blues/jazz artist and screen composer Jan Preston. It features veteran actor Tony Barry as Joe and Alice Ansara as Betty and was directed by industry stalwart Martha Ansara. Alice will be seen later this year in the new SBS comedy series Bogan Pride, playing Nigella, the best friend of Rebel (“Toula”) Wilson of Fat Pizza fame. Mic Conway of the National Junk Band makes a guest appearance in the film[ Click here to read more ]

July 1st 2008 06:44
The “Talking Stick Film Festival” joined the ever expanding film festival circuit recently with over 100 new works screened in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The name is derived from the belief of some Native American tribes where whenever impotant matters are discussed, a ‘talking stick’ is handed around hence the name.
‘I look at each film as each person’s time to hold the talking stick, to tell the story in their way,” Festival Director Karen RedHawk Dallet said before the festival opening on Saturday June 21[ Click here to read more ]
