A trio of Aboriginal girls Based, incredibly, on a true story, and developed from a successful from a remote mission get a stony stage musical, this is a big-hearted, barnstorming put-on-a-show response to their country and western crowdpleaser. Beneath the spangly exterior, however, it has songs at a talentSynopsis show. But Dave, a surprisingly trenchant things to say about Australian identity and drunken Irish talent scout, thinks they have potential. the bitter legacy of institutionalised racism. Seeing them as Australia's answer to 'The Of course, none of this would really hit home unless we believed in Supremes', he recruits their cousin Kay to The Sapphires as authentic soul sisters, achieved thanks to the group, and convinces them to switch to ‘Australian Idol’ finalist Jessica Mauboy’s sumptuous lead vocals, soul songs. Then he gets the girls their and astute song selections from the Motown, Stax and Atlantic first true gig - singing for the troops in the songbooks. middle of the Vietnam war zone... With rising star O’Dowd in command of both the comic timing and emotional grace notes and beautifully playing off Deborah Mailman as the group’s alpha female, the movie is gutsy and entertaining enough to have us forgiving its occasional credibility glitches and obviously CGI-ed battlefront visuals.

These films promise to surprise, provoke and push boundaries.” “We're proud to continue our partnership with Sydney Film Festival to showcase these powerful documentaries from the world's leading Indigenous filmmakers, as well as premiere the innovative work of emerging new talent from around the country,” said Penny Smallacombe, Head of Indigenous at Screen Australia. “We are very pleased to see five films commissioned by NITV take their place alongside such prestigious works from across the world,” said Tanya Orman, NITV Channel Manager. Two important Australian First Nation documentaries will also have their premieres at the Festival. Connection to Country, directed by Tyson Mowarin, about the Indigenous people of the Pilbara’s battle to preserve Australia’s 40,000-year-old cultural heritage from the ravages of mining, and filmmaker Erica Glynn’s raw, heartfelt and funny journey of adult Aboriginal students and their teachers as they discover the transformative power of reading and writing for the first time (In My Own Words).

  • Shari Sebbens Looks at 'The Horrible Side' of the Country in Australia Day Garry Maddox 2 June 2017
    Shari Sebbens looks at 'the horrible side' of the country in Australia Day Garry Maddox 2 june 2017 Shari Sebbens is no fan of Australia Day. A Bardi Jabirr Jabirr woman who grew up in Darwin, the Sapphires star thinks of it as Invasion Day and prefers to take time to reflect with her "mob" – family and friends – rather than celebrate. So Sebbens was surprised to hear she had been invited to audition for a new film called Australia Day. Shari Sebbens: "Why would I want to audition for a film called Australia Day?" Photo: Nic Walker "I laughed," she says. "I said 'why would I want to audition for a film called Australia Day?' As an Aboriginal woman, it conjures up that it's going to be some bogan Cronulla riots type thing." But when she read the script, Sebbens was delighted to see the provocative territory the drama was covering – a potent examination of race and identity. "It's taking a look at the horrible side to Australia that people don't like to acknowledge exists, especially on nice summer days when you can just pop on the Hottest 100 and enjoy a tinnie," she says. Sebbens plays an Aboriginal police officer, Senior Constable Sonya Mackenzie, who is caught up in interwoven dramas as three teenagers run away on the national day: a 14- 2 year-old Indigenous girl fleeing a car crash, a 17-year-old Iranian boy running from a crime scene and a 19-year-old Chinese girl escaping sexual slavery. Directed by Kriv Stenders with a cast that includes Bryan Brown, Matthew Le Nevez, Isabelle Cornish and such newcomers as Miah Madden, Elias Anton and Jenny Wu, the topical drama has its world premiere at Sydney Film Festival this month.
