Production News Luscious Sam Bryant wins at Flickerfest 18th January, 2010 – Luscious International director Sam Bryant picked up a couple of the major awards at Flickerfest short film festival last night. His short film ‘GPS’ won the SBS Television Award where SBS selects one film out of the entire festival to broadcast on SBS television. The film also won Best Editing craft. GPS is a story about Thompson - a seven year old boy who has one dream in life, to be the voice of a GPS navigator. But unfortunately Thompson has a deliberating lisp. For years he tries to forget his dream, but he can’t get it out of his mind. When he auditions at Gusto GPS Navigators, he embarks on an impossible journey that sends him into a spiral of dispair – no one wants to hire a GPS navigator with a lisp. Since the film was made almost a year ago, it has enjoyed success at festivals all over the world, including Cannes, LA Shorts and ADFEST. Sam and Luscious would like to thank Mark Burnett and the entire team at The Editors for their contribution to this film. A huge thank you also goes to the rest of the cast and crew who made this film possible. If you’d like a copy of Sam’s reel, or to enquire about his availability, give us a call on 02 9326 3400 or email us at [email protected] The Directors Group 2010 sees The Directors Group now working with four Directors. They are Director/DOP Germain McMicking, Luci Schroder, Kess Broekman-Dattner and new Director Corrie Jones. (We are now representing Corrie for the East Coast of Australia) Corrie Jones has been Perth based, but came to our attention with his AFI nominated short film ‘Water’ and other impressive virals and commercials, including the much discussed ‘Camel Girl’. His work is characterised by a strong visual approach, excellent casting and a real gift for storytelling. Meanwhile Germain McMicking has returned home after shooting a short film in New York City and some documentary work on Palm Island. Luci Schroder has directed a superb music video for Codrazine and is currently finishing one for former Earthman Nick Batterham. Kess Broekman-Dattner is in pre-production for a micro documentary/ viral about Great White Sharks and is also working on a music video for Electronica band Junior Jr. In the area of longform producer Craig Griffin continues to work with Director Paul Goldman on the much anticipated Ben Cousins Documentary. They hope to have the documentary completed by mid March. To see reels call Alex on 03 9525 0644 or go to the website: www.directorsgroup.com.au PHOTOPLAY Photoplay had a busy start to the year, and it’s not stopped. Since welcoming The Kamen Brothers, and Husein Alicajic in September, the new guys have already produced eight campaigns. Scott Otto Anderson has spent the start of 2010 working on an imaginative Honda TVC with huge set designs and choreography for Draft FCB Melbourne, as well as a very unique campaign for Bamercise through Euro RSCG Sydney. Scott is also involved in a theatre production that brings the Chooky dancers from Arnhem Land to the Adelaide festival in March. 1 Matt Kamen, & his producer-brother Chris have brought their unique comedic style to a cinema campaign for Nokia, as well as spots for MTV, KFC and Pizza Hut. Also, Husein Alicajic has just finished post on a wonderful Starburst TVC called ‘Colour Fight’, which was produced in association with the charity Camp Quality - watch it here. On the other side of the world, Diamond Dogs worked with Robbie Williams on his ‘You Know Me’ music clip. Phil Sansom and Olly Williams aka Diamond Dogs, made Robbie into a white rabbit and created an autumnal wonderland – watch it here. Photoplay is also pleased to announce that it has been commissioned by ABC TV to produce the Triple J TV music content for 2010, beginning with the One Night Stand concert in Alice Springs in late March. Over the year Photoplay will produce 7 hours of programming for the ABC. To check out the latest work of Scott Otto Anderson, the Kamen Brothers, Husein Alicajic, or Diamond Dogs go to www.photoplayfilms.com.au Jungleboys Review With Myles Barlow, created, written and directed by Jungleboys director Trent O'Donnell, won Best Comedy at the FIs last night. Review's Phil Lloyd also picked up the AFI for Best Comedy Performance. Together with Trent's Best Director nomination (won by East West 101 Director Peter Andrikidis), Best Script Nomination (won by Underbelly) and his Australian Writer's Guild Award for Best Narrative/ Situational Comedy, it's been a good lead up to Series 2. It should also help it's chances of further format sales overseas - it has already been picked up in the US, the UK and The Netherlands. The Meat and Livestock Association's 2010 TVC (with Sam Kekovich addressing the UN) was a great example of the new partnership between Jungleboys and Emerald City. Directed by Scott and Trent, Emerald needed to recreate the United Nations in session - and on a moderate budget. This was a great example of the cost and creative benefits that come from having a design and visual effects shop inhouse. YouTube reveals the Top five most watched Australian-made videos of 2009 and they are both directed by Mark: 1. Kate Miller-Heidke ‘The Last Day On Earth’ 2. Guy Sebastian - Like it Like That Luke's film 'Man's Best Friend' has been accepted into Flickerfest - they had 1200 entries this year so it's a good result. Vanilla Ice viral (which got 1 million hits) picks up 2 Silvers at Award including Best Viral. Also picks up Silver at the B&T Awards. www.jungleboys.com.au OTTO News Feb 2010. The Otto Empire had a lot to celebrate at the end of 2009. Director Ben Saunders was up to his old tricks in 2009, creating the beautifully stylised Big M commercial, in collaboration with AJF Partnership. Along with Executive Producer Jo de Fina, Ben took four kids on a road trip in the Western Australian countryside and made them drink chocolate milk. Needless to say the results were spectacular. There was another collaboration with AJF for some Holden spots, some work with Clemenger Melbourne, and Ben also completed a series of commercials for Domain with The Furnace Sydney….. As well as working with stop motion animators and Sapient Nitro for Nestle Diet Yoghurt. Busy busy! To finish the year off in style, Ben completed the new ‘Big Enough. Small Enough’ campaign for St George Bank and Ogilvy and APIA’s ‘New for Old’ TVC with DDB Melbourne, both on air now. Keep an eye out for Ben’s Earth Choice TV Commercial, shot mid 2009. It will be sure to make a statement both visually and politically. Angus Sampson has had a cracker of year with The OTTO Empire starting with the mockumentary style spots for SEEK and Leo Burnett. Being a man of many talents, Angus worked with writers and Video Ezy to create their new ‘M Movies’ Campaign, which he also directed. To start off 2010, Angus has just completed spots, in collaboration with George Patterson Y & R in Melbourne, for the AFL NAB Cup. On air now. International Photographer Simon Harsent joined The OTTO Empire family for TVC representation. His exhibition MELT; a breathtaking series of images of Icebergs taken in Newfoundland’s Disco Bay is currently running at Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, after a month at the Australian Centre for Photography. Director Eddie Martin’s feature documentary ‘Lionel’ was nominated for 2 AFI Awards including Best Documentary Feature Category, and he is just back from New York where he filmed the Short Film ‘Somebody People’ with DOP Germain McMicking. 2 New director Stephen Carroll joined the team and brought Producer Tobias Webster with him. They have had had much success with their first TV Commercial with The OTTO Empire for RACV. Made in collaboration with Sputnik/Reality agency as part of the RACV Transmission Program, in which high school students submitted ideas for communicating the Anti Drink/Drive message. Very effective. The boys are now in pre production for their next project. Stayed tuned to The OTTO Empire in 2010. SCREEN CUISINE IS NOW THE INDUSTRY’S FIRST PREMIUM SERVICE DROP OFF CATERER.

    A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films

    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

    The Loved Ones (2009)

    Screen Sound n3, 2012 ALL MASHED UP? Songs, Music and Allusionism in The Loved Ones (2009) Philip Hayward Abstract This article considers Australian director Sean Byrne’s 2009 horror/comedy feature film The Loved Ones with particular regard to its uses of allusionism within a popular genre context.1 Within this focus, the article explores the various musical components of the soundtrack (including critical use of specific songs), the creative template determined by the director and the creative input and decision making of various members of the production team. In this manner, the article profiles the film’s audio-visual text, the perceptions and motivations of the production team and considers how these relate to the film’s reception and box-office performance. Keywords The Loved Ones, allusionism, film songs, soundtrack, Australian film Allusionism — An Introduction Back in 1982 the film theorist Noel Carroll considered and, it is not unfair to say, fretted over, the prevalence of allusionism in a range of popular films. Carroll’s critical persona and aesthetic approach drew on two strands: the auteur school of film criticism that attempted to identify distinguished creative authors working within the (supposedly largely undistinguished) mainstream film industry; and a parallel interest in and commitment to the modernism of the western cinematic avant-garde. His anxiety over allusionism in popular cinema arose from a position that considered that, while classic auteur cinema and (successful) modernist works could be identified to have allusionism skillfully woven into the fabric of their texts (and, more broadly, into their author’s aesthetic visions), a range of popular cultural texts seemed increasingly inclined to simply display their allusionism without any deep or thematically significant intent.

And where do we come from? Australia’s greatest Olympian Ian Thorpe, iconic Indigenous actor Ernie Dingo, and TV presenter and Queen of Eurovision Julia Zemiro set off on an epic journey of genetic time travel to find out. DNA is the instruction manual that helps build and run our bodies. But scientific breakthroughs have discovered another remarkable use for it. DNA contains a series of genetic route maps. It means we can trace our mother’s mother’s mother and our father’s father’s father, and so on, back through tens of millennia, revealing how our ancestors migrated out of Africa and went on to populate the rest of the world.
  • Daybreakers and the Vampire Movie

    Daybreakers and the Vampire Movie

    16 • Metro Magazine 164 THERE WILL BE BLOOD Daybreakers and the Vampire Movie The enduring popularity of the vampire figure has led to some truly creative and original films as well as some downright disasters. Rjurik Davidson examines the current fascination with this genre and explores why the latest Australian offering fails to deliver despite its very promising beginning. HE VAMPIRE is the fantasy figure of the moment. Where only five years ago it was the ubiquitous boy magician Harry Potter who dominated fan- Ttasy film, now it is the vampire. Almost like a symbol of itself – transmit- ting dangerously out of control like a virus – the vampire has spread throughout popular culture, largely on the back of Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular Twilight books and movies (Twilight [Catherine Hardwicke, 2008], New Moon [Chris Weitz, 2009]), so that there are now vampire weddings, vampire bands, a flurry of vampire novels and vampire television shows like True Blood. Recently, The Age reported that we are a nation obsessed with ‘vampires and AFL’ and that New Moon and Twilight were the most Googled movies in Australia during 2009.1 One of the great attractions of the vampire is that it can be a symbol for many things. As a symbol for the decaying aristocracy in Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel Dracula, the vampire has the allure of charisma and sex. Indeed, Dracula drew upon John Polidori’s 1819 portrait of Lord Byron in The Vampyre. In the symbol of the vampire, sex and death are entwined in the single act of drinking some- one’s blood.

Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow March 1996 Page 2 Abstract Academic work on Aboriginality in popular media has, understandably, been largely written in defensive registers. Aware of horrendous histories of Aboriginal murder, dispossession and pitying understanding at the hands of settlers, writers are worried about the effects of raced representation; and are always concerned to identify those texts which might be labelled racist. In order to make such a search meaningful, though, it is necessary to take as axiomatic certain propositions about the functioning of films: that they 'mean' in particular and stable ways, for example; and that sophisticated reading strategies can fully account for the possible ways a film interacts with audiences.

    ALLAN BROWNE & RICHARD MILLER: MODERNISTS & TRADITIONALISTS Interviewed by Adrian Jackson* __________________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the Winter/Spring 1986 edition of Jazz Magazine.] rummer Allan Browne and saxophonist-clarinettist Richard Miller have been making music together for more than 20 years now. Their partnership began D in 1965 when Miller joined the Red Onion Jazz Band, led by Browne and still remembered as the most successful Australian jazz band of its time. None of their records is currently available, but a cassette (Anteater 002) which contains excerpts from some of the band’s early EPs, plus a recording from a concert in Warsaw in 1967, shows that the band’s reputation was founded on real musical qualities. Many of those qualities were re-captured when the band staged a couple of sell-out reunions at the Limerick Arms Hotel in 1984. The members of the quartet Onaje, L-R, Gary Costello, Bob Sedergreen, Richard Miller, Allan Browne… Since mid-1985, the pair have also displayed their mastery of traditional jazz in the Allan Browne Jazz Band, which plays every Thursday night at the Emerald Hotel in South Melbourne. The other members of that band are trumpeter Peter Gaudion, __________________________________________________________ *In 1986 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 Richard Miller (left) and Allan Browne, outside the Limerick Arms Hotel… PHOTO COURTESY AUSTRALIAN JAZZ MUSEUM trombonjst Bill Howard, clarinettist Fred Parkes, bassist Leon Heale and guitarist- banjoist John Scurry; Browne’s wife, Margie, occasionally adds vocals or piano.

    Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles

    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
