    Media Release – Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Australian Academy announces Russell Crowe as new host of AACTA Awards Strictly embargoed until Wednesday 23 January 2013 Russell Crowe will host Australia’s top film and television awards next Wednesday night on Network Ten. The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards Ceremony, now in its second year, will see Crowe headline a star-studded line up of presenters, including fellow Oscar winners, Geoffrey Rush (AACTA President) and Cate Blanchett (AFI | AACTA Ambassador). More than 1,000 Australian film and television performers and practitioners will come together in Sydney at The Star Event Centre for the 2nd AACTA Awards - the biggest night on the industry’s calendar. Many of Australia’s favourites of the big and small screens will be attending, including Hugo Weaving, Rove McManus, Rebecca Gibney, Deborah Mailman, Lachy Hulme, Matt Le Nevez and Shane Jacobson, to name a few. Crowe was announced as new host for the 2nd AACTA Awards following a conflicting L.A. schedule for Hugh Sheridan, who was originally announced as the host. In addition to the AACTA Awards in Sydney, Crowe will also host the AACTA International Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, which Sheridan will now also attend. AFI | AACTA CEO, Damian Trewhella, said that Crowe has long been a champion of the Australian film industry and of the Australian Film Institute (AFI), having previously hosted the AFI Awards in 2005. Trewhella said Crowe has also shown his commitment to the Australian Academy since its launch 18 months ago, and was a presenter at the inaugural AACTA International Awards in L.A.

Introduction On Anzac Day 2006, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, along with fellow miner Larry Knight, were trapped deep inside the Beaconsfield gold mine in Tasmania. Todd and Brant were enclosed nearly 1000 metres underground, caged in a space so small they could neither sit up straight nor fully lie down. It was five days before they were found to be alive. Most Australians know that Todd Russell and Brant Webb survived a horrifying mine collapse that killed their colleague Larry Knight. However, they don’t know much more than that. Beaconsfield tells the whole story. After the discovery that Todd and Brant had survived the mine collapse the search became a rescue mission. Working in conditions that could see another cave-in at any moment, colleagues worked tirelessly to get them out alive. It was an event Australia and the world watched unfolding with bated breath. As every news outlet in the country scrambled to cover the story, the frantic work of the rescuers continued. SCREEN EDUCATION © ATOM 2012 © ATOM SCREEN EDUCATION Beaconsfield recounts the story of these two very different men who were trapped together for fifteen days while their wives, families and friends waited anxiously above ground, hoping and praying for good news. It tells how Matthew Gill, Pat Ball and their teams rescued Todd Russell and Brant Webb.
