Eraser Children at Fantastic Planet Film Festival
August 30th 2009 14:40
World Premiere of Australian Film
Fantastic Planet, Sydney's Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival and Crumpler are proud to announce the festival's opening night film: the world premiere of the Australian science fiction feature "Eraser Children".
Festival director Dr. Dean Bertram praises the film as "a compelling and visually arresting exploration of a macabre future. It is reminiscent of the very best in cinematic Dystopian satire from 'Metropolis' through 'Fahrenheit 451' to Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'."
Bertram's co-director Lisa Mitchell adds. "Director Nathan Christoffel and his cast and crew, deserve to be warmly congratulated. To have independently produced such a visually and conceptually sophisticated film as their feature debut is a major accomplishment and a testament to the creativity of Australian genre cinema."
Fantastic Planet will be showcasing an international program of bold, speculative genre films that explore other imagined worlds, universes, and realities: offering Sydney audiences celluloid visions of alternative futures, pasts, and presents. The festival runs for eight days at Dendy, Newtown Cinema: from October 30 to Nov 6, 2009.
Full program details will be available at the festival's official site in September: Really Long Link
