  • Seven Unveils Content Plans for 2019
    SEVEN UNVEILS CONTENT PLANS FOR 2019 Slate includes new Bevan Lee drama and two supersized reality hits Geraldine Hakewill, Joel Jackson and Catherine McClements headline Miss Fisher spin-off MKR’s 10th anniversary season to launch the year “Top Gear meets food” in new Gordon Ramsay series New overseas dramas feature screen heavyweights Martin Clunes, Sheridan Smith, Kelsey Grammer and more (Sydney, Friday October 26): The Seven Network today unveiled its content plans for 2019. Four new local dramas, including the next offering from creator Bevan Lee; two supersized reality hits; a female spinoff to one of the year’s most heart-warming hits and the landmark 10th season of one of Australia’s biggest shows are just some of the programs set to take Seven into its 13th consecutive year of leadership. Commenting, Seven’s Director of Network Programming Angus Ross said: “After a close win last year, we promised to up our game in 2018, and the team has delivered in spades. We’ve broken records and dominated the ratings throughout the year. In fact, in every month we have never dropped below a 39% share, while our competitors have never been above 39%. Our worst is still better than their best. “What’s particularly pleasing is that this success is down to the strength and depth of our programming across the board. From 6am to midnight, we have the strongest spine of ratings winners, bar none. And with the AFL and Cricket locked up until 2022, Seven can guarantee those mass audiences, and certainty for our advertisers, for years to come.” NEW TO SEVEN IN 2019 BETWEEN TWO WORLDS From Australia’s most prolific creator/writer Bevan Lee (Packed to the Rafters, A Place To Call Home, All Saints, Winners & Losers, Always Greener) comes an intense, high concept contemporary drama series about two disparate and disconnected worlds, thrown together by death and a sacrifice in one and the chance for new life in the other.

    4.1.2016 PRESS RELEASE THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART ANNOUNCE THE WORLD PREMIERE OF FEATURE FILM THE SILENT EYE FEATURING CECIL TAYLOR & MIN TANAKA & DIRECTED BY ACCLAIMED AUSTRALIAN FILMMAKER AND ARTIST AMIEL COURTIN-WILSON. http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/OpenPlanCecilTaylor THE SILENT EYE is the World Premiere of a new feature length performance film by Amiel Courtin-Wilson featuring Min Tanaka and Cecil Taylor. Shot in Cecil Taylor’s home over three days in January 2016, the film is a highly intimate, impressionistic portrait of the unspoken rapport between two masters of their form. Shot by Sundance award winning cinematographer Germain McMicking and featuring sublime slow motion cinematography of Cecil and Min at work together, the film plays out like a timeless, elegant conversation between the two men- at once meditative and highly moving. The Robert D. Bielecki Foundation have just announced their generous support of the completion of the film and Robert had this to say about the project. “Filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson's THE SILENT EYE is a marvel of time expanded and contracted. He captures a journey between old friends filled with prescient reminiscence - a meditation in sound and movement between two masters catching up, rewinding, and spinning forward the way ocean currents undulate when kissed by the wind.” Amiel is also thrilled to be working with the Robert D. Bielecki Foundation. “It is a humbling and deeply inspiring experience to be supported to create such a singular and specific film.” Acclaimed director Amiel Courtin-Wilson's feature films have screened and won awards at Venice Film Festival (HAIL, 2011 RUIN, 2013) Cannes (CICADA, 2009) and Sundance (CHASING BUDDHA, 2000).

As their relationship unravels throughout the night, a much more sinister threat emerges that will jeopardise their bond forever. Director’s Statement Renée Marie Petropoulos TANGLES AND KNOTS is a project shaped by themes that have consistently marked my work: female sexuality, aging and the fluidity of family roles. But beyond these themes, the film is extremely personal: drawing primarily from my own unconventional relationship with my mother. Just like Michelle and Laura, we acted more like girlfriends than mother and child. We would share everything and anything together.
