This major effort to raise awareness and appreciation of Australian film and culture is proving to be increasingly popular with Russian audiences. Traditionally, the Festival is hosted by Khudozhestvenny Cinema in the very centre of Moscow. This year, the Festival will also screen at Dom Kino in St Petersburg.

We hope that the dramatic family stories in “The Black Balloon” and “Romulus, My Father” as well as intelligence and humour in “My Mother Frank” will draw in the interest of our Russian audience.

  • MICHAEL YEZERSKI Composer FILM CREDITS
    MICHAEL YEZERSKI Composer Michael Yezerski’s musical works are highly evocative, original and diverse. From the symphonic grittiness of THE TAX COLLECTOR to the quiet drama of BLINDSPOTTING; from the avant- garde horror drones of THE DEVIL’S CANDY to the heartfelt FEEL THE BEAT and THE BLACK BALLOON; Michael brings a signature musical intensity to every project he takes on. Hailing originally from Australia, and with a background in both contemporary concert music and electronic music production, Michael blends styles and influences in a way that pushes the boundaries of what dramatic film music can be. Rich in technique and sitting comfortably at the border with avant-garde music design, Michael’s work is nevertheless fundamentally human and melodic at its core. Born in Sydney, Michael is a multiple award-winning composer who creates music that is shaped from the perspective of an outsider – constantly fluid, ever changing, unbound by system – curious and always evolving. Recent projects include the hit international series MR INBETWEEN, Keith Thomas’ wondrously terrifying THE VIGIL and the Stephen Dorff starrer DEPUTY for FOX / Cedar Park. Earlier career highlights include HBO’s ONLY THE DEAD SEE THE END OF WAR, his first feature film THE BLACK BALLOON (winner of 8 AFI/AACTA Awards including Best Picture), PJ Hogan’s MENTAL, WOLF CREEK SERIES 2, CATCHING MILAT, PETER ALLEN, the Academy Award winning animated short, THE LOST THING and his collaboration with Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, THE RED TREE.

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Windmill Theatre, GIRL ASLEEP Is a Journey Into the Absurd, Scary and Beautiful Heart of the Teenage Mind
    1 WINNER ADEL AIDE FILM FESTIVAL FOXTEL MOVIES AUDIENCE AWARDS MOST POPULAR FEATURE Girl Asleep bags most popular feature at Adelaide Film Festival. IF MAGAZINE It’s in Myers’s commitment to eccentricity that Girl Asleep – an art-house film made firmly with a teenage audience in its sight – finds its heart. THE GUARDIAN AUSTRALIA Girl Asleep is the stylish, formally exuberant debut of theatre director Rosemary Myers. A funny and imaginative portrait of growing pains. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER With the endless production of superhero films and film remakes these days, it is refreshing to see a film with such raw acting and originality from start to finish. It’s hard not to fall in love with the characters in Girl Asleep, and be left with the warmth of the film long after the credits have stop rolling. THE UPSIDE NEWS Inventive and confidently executed... bright and occasionally subversive take on teen growing pains that gives fresh legs to a familiar genre. We’re lucky to call this one our own. RIP IT UP Profoundly funny. SCENESTR Wildly funny and deeply moving in equal measure, it is a work rich in larrikin character but universal in its themes and appeal. As Greta embraces her blossoming self, so to does Australian cinema welcome another memorable movie heroine. SCREEN SPACE A memorable, comic balance of poise and chaos. ADELAIDE REVIEW Colourful, eccentric... production about a girl navigating the pitfalls of puberty with a casual side of magical realism... one for fans of coming-of-age dramas and colourful Wes Anderson-style quirkfests.

  • Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly
    Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly Autism & Aspergers In Popular Australian Cinema Post 2000 Reviewed By Katie Ellis, Murdoch University, E-Mail: [email protected] Australian Cinema is known for its tendency to feature bizarre and extraordinary characters that exist on the margins of mainstream society (O'Regan 1996, 261). While several theorists have noted the prevalence of disability within this national cinema (Ellis 2008; Duncan, Goggin & Newell 2005; Ferrier 2001), an investigation of characters that have autism is largely absent. Although characters may have displayed autistic tendencies or perpetuated misinformed media representations of this condition, it was unusual for Australian films to outright label a character as having autism until recent years. Somersault, The Black Balloon, and Mary & Max are three recent Australian films that explicitly introduce characters with autism or Asperger syndrome. Of the three, the last two depict autism with sensitivity, neither exploiting it for the purposes of the main character's development nor turning it into a spectacle of compensatory super ability. The Black Balloon, in particular, demonstrates the importance of the intentions of the filmmaker in including disability among notions of a diverse Australian community. Somersault. Red Carpet Productions. Directed By Cate Shortland 2004 Australia Using minor characters with disabilities to provide the audience with more insight into the main characters is a common narrative tool in Australian cinema (Ellis 2008, 57). Film is a visual medium that adopts visual methods of storytelling, and impairment has become a part of film language, as another variable of meaning within the shot.
