Oz Film Archive- Whats on this April!
April 3rd 2010 10:00
With the school holidays in full swing, if you thinking of heading off to the nations capital for a nice relaxing break, drop into the National film and Sound Archive and catch up with an old friend whether they be an old Aussie mate or a long lost Yank you never thought you would see large as life again. Or maybe you might feel like saying Konichiwa tothat old stray dog Mr Kurosawa
Then head off to the Harold Holt memorial swimming pool for a quick dip to cool down. But remember to wear your floaties..
Happy Easter everyone!!!
AUSTRALIAN CINEMA
We continue our look at AFI Award-nominees with a rediscovery of Australian post-impressionist cinema that concludes with two episodes from critic Robert Hughes' cheeky TV history of Australian Art, Landscape with Figures: episodes Fat Young Nymphs and Modernism! will screen alongside Albie Thoms' look at the life of Australian artist John Peter Russell in The King of Belle-Ile on Saturday 3 April (entire program is unclassified 15 ).

Aussie horror films will continue throughout the month of April featuring both the original and remake versions of The Long Weekend , plus the Ozploitation classic Fair Game.
AMERICAN MOVIE TREASURES
Klute
American Movie Treasures is an ongoing program of rare gems from the collections of US archives, and the work of the US National Film Preservation Board. The NFSA begins with Surviving Down Under: a look at Hollywood films whose surviving and restoration is in part due to prints and negatives that have survived in the collection of the National Film and Sound Archive.
This fortnight, Gregory Peck stars in the Henry King classic Twelve O'Clock High (G), film print courtesy of the Library of Congress. American Movie Treasures is presented with the support of the Embassy of the United States.
Plus, as part of the New Hollywood series, the NFSA presents a rare screening of Francis Ford Coppola's early road movie starring James Caan and Robert Duvall, The Rain People (M), with George Lucas' documentary on the making of the film, Filmmaker. Both prints are from the collection of the NFSA.
