The documentary provides an intimate look at Heath through the lens of his own camera as he films and often performs in his own personal journey – extravagant in gesture and in action. It was his creative energy and unshakable willingness to take risks that instilled such an extraordinarily deep love and affection in the people that entered his life. Heath’s artistic nature and expression set him apart form the Hollywood mainstream, vaulted him to stardom and endeared him to the world. Special guest performance by ARIA awardwinning hiphop artist, N’fa Jones. N’fa Jones is a bi-cultural Australian/ Sierra-Leonean artist credited for establishing the Australian Hip Hop movement with his band 1200 Techniques, breaking onto the scene in 2000. The band originally built its profile on an underground status before finding its success in a mainstream respect, playing major festivals around the country and winning ARIA awards (the first urban group to ever win an ARIA). Since then N’fa has toured and lived abroad, nurturing youth groups and community events, school workshops and children with specific social difficulties through foundations such as White Lion. Winning the Camden Crawl Breakthrough Artist award while in London, N’fa found his passion as a solo artist before moving back to Australia where he released two critically acclaimed albums. He currently resides in Melbourne but maintains a place in his heart for his hometown of Perth.

It is 1943 and the eccentrically ambitious naval officer Cousteau (Wilson) dreams of adventure. His magnificent new invention of the Aqua-Lung promises to bring him just that. Newly armed with the ability to breathe underwater for long periods of time, Cousteau dedicates his life’s work to his obsession with the sea, becoming the first to create underwater films that dazzle audiences worldwide. His success comes at a cost, however, as his wife Simone (Tautou) and sons Philippe (Niney) and Jean-Michel (Lavernhe) struggle to keep up with the stormy seas of Cousteau’s fierce and unfailing determination, the ultimate price of which is yet to come. Through a dazzling array of global exploration locations, we undertake this lyrical journey almost as if a member of Cousteau’s crew, experiencing the epic highs and excruciating lows of this pioneer’s astounding career, which changed humanity’s relationship with the sea forever. Live music by Fiona Lawe Davies. Saturday 3 February SWINGING SAFARI Comedy|Australia|96 mins|M Directed by: Stephan Elliot Cast: Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue, Radha Mitchell, Julian McMahon, Asher Keddie, Jeremy Sims & Jack Thompson SWINGING SAFARI is a colourful satire of a typical Australian beachside neighbourhood, in the height of a 1970s summer. The comedy captures the innocence of an era of careless parenting, constant sunburn and suggestive adult behaviour. From director, Stephan Elliott (THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT) with an all-star Australian cast including Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce. SWINGING SAFARI is a celebration of the Australian summer combined with a healthy dose of nostalgia and laugh out loud comedy. Get your groove on with some Solid Gold disco tunes before the film, and dress to impress to win some fab prizes! Friday 9 February PERFECT STRANGERS Comedy / Drama|Italy|English Subtitles|97 mins|M The Directed by: Paolo Genovese Cast: Giuseppe Battiston, Anna Foglietta, Marco Giallini, Edoardo Leo, Valerio Mastandrea, Alba Rohrwacher & Kasia Smutniak Winner Best Film & Best Screenplay – 2016 Italian Academy Awards The multi award-winning new comedy of manners from Paolo Genovese is a fiendishly clever take on decorum in the age of modern technology, and poses the question: how well do we really know those close to us? The titular perfect strangers are actually seven long-time friends (three couples and one bachelor), all 40ish, who gather one night for a dinner party and agree that no private calls or messaging will disrupt their evening. Instead, in a communal fit of ‘we have nothing to hide’ bravado, they place their devices on the table, and all incoming calls and texts are shared with the group. (Letting a caller know they’re on speaker is considered a cheat). But what seems at first like an innocent and playful distraction between friends quickly turns into something more, as the messages start to reveal some eye-opening secrets and how little they may truly know about the partners and acquaintances opposite. Fairly bristling with of-the- moment talking points about the wonders and complications Live music from of modern technology, Fiona Lawe Davies 3 PERFECT STRANGERS became Fiona and her band are a box office sensation in Italy. well known to lovers Thanks to its superb, rapid- of the Perth jazz scene. fire dialogue and terrific ensemble cast, the film Their specialty is sassy effortlessly transitions between swinging jazz, which incisive comedy and emotion, they mix up with delivering a fresh and wildly Latin grooves, lounge entertaining spin on the many and soul tunes. ways performance has come to define our public lives. Saturday 10 February - Closing Night THREE SUMMERS Comedy|Australia|95 mins|M Directed by: Ben Elton Cast: Magda Szubanski, Michael Caton, Robert Sheehan, Rebecca Breeds, Deborah Mailman, John Waters, Kelton Pell, Jacqueline McKenzie & Peter Rowsthorn From internationally renowned writer director Ben Elton comes an ensemble comedy that embraces the diversity of modern Australia. At a summer music festival, the feisty lead singer of an Irish folk band (Breeds) meets a folk music-hating Theremin player (Sheehan) and sparks literally fly. Characters surrounding this awkward romance include a fiercely Aussie Morris Dancer (Caton), an Indigenous dance troupe, a group of wine-loving empty nesters, a power tripping security guard, a wannabe girl rock band and some musical asylum seekers. In fact, all manner of stories collide under the meddling eye of community radio super star, Queenie (Szubanski), who welcomes the campers back three summers in a row for a folking good time. Fusing romance, music and Ben Elton’s trademark wit and satirical edge, Three Summers delivers an engaging folk tale of contemporary Australia with the soundtrack and the belly laughs for the summer to come. Shot in Western Australia, the film also stars The Bondi Hipsters’ Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nick Boshier. Exclusive preview performance from the cast of We Will Rock You Perth. Cottesloe Film Festival is donating $2 from every adult ticket to Cottesloe Coastcare Association – a volunteer group founded in 1995 to achieve a more robust and diverse ecosystem for our foreshore. We believe it is important to protect the few remaining natural areas, so that everyone can experience and appreciate the local species of animals, plants and birds, now and in the future.

  • Attack Force Z Head Credits
    Opening titles: Z Special Force was a secret operations unit of the Australian Armed Services in World War Two. It was made up of volunteers from all branches of the Allied Forces and came under the direct command of General Douglas Macarthur. Z Special carried out two hundred and eighty- four war time missions in the Pacific. The most publicised of these were the successful canoe raid on Singapore harbour from the 'Krait' and the subsequent Rimau raid in which all twenty- three participants were either killed in action or executed. The events depicted in this film are an honest and unflinching account of the type of operation carried out by our unit during the war. John L.

  • 1 Forever Alone in a Crowd, Arthur Fleck Seeks Connection. Yet, As He
    Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him. Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, “Joker” is the filmmaker’s original vision of the infamous DC villain, an origin story infused with, but distinctly outside, the character’s more traditional mythologies. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty, allegorical character study.
