Together, in a darkened theatre, the perceptions and obsessions of our local and international collaborators will take you on a fierce ride by offering up what theatre does best: unique personal perspectives, and piercing questions about the messy topics.

  • 1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania It Is 1968, Rural Western Austra
    1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania Abstract: In two Australian coming-of-age feature films, Australian Rules and September, the central young characters hold idyllic notions about friendship and equality that prove to be the keys to transformative on- screen behaviours. Intimate intersubjectivity, deployed in the close relationships between the indigenous and nonindigenous protagonists, generates multiple questions about the value of normalised adult interculturalism. I suggest that the most pointed significance of these films lies in the compromises that the young adults make. As they reach the inevitable moral crisis that awaits them on the cusp of adulthood, despite pressures to abandon their childhood friendships they instead sustain their utopian (golden) visions of the future. It is 1968, rural Western Australia. As we glide along an undulating bitumen road up ahead we see, from a low camera angle, a school bus moving smoothly along the same route. Periodically a smattering of roadside trees filters the sunlight, but for the most part open fields of wheat flank the roadsides and stretch out to the horizon, presenting a grand and golden vista. As we reach the bus, music that has hitherto been a quiet accompaniment swells and in the next moment we are inside the vehicle with a fair-haired teenager. The handsome lad, dressed in a yellow school uniform, is drawing a picture of a boxer in a sketchpad. Another cut takes us back outside again, to an equally magnificent view from the front of the bus. This mesmerising piece of cinema—the opening of September (Peter Carstairs, 2007)— affords a viewer an experience of tranquillity and promise, and is homage to the notion of a golden age of youth.

  • JANET KING - Season
    THE AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SCREEN NSW PRESENTS A SCREENTIME, A BANIJAY GROUP COMPANY, PRODUCTION AACTA award winner Marta Dusseldorp reprises her lead role as the brilliant Senior Crown Prosecutor Janet King. Synopsis With gun crime exploding in the suburbs, Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp) is handpicked by a nervous government to head a Royal Commission into the surge of recent shootings. Unlike the world of the DPP, the Royal Commission allows Janet and her team to become the investigators – they can raid, interrogate and have police seconded to them. Conscripting solicitors Lina Badir (Andrea Demetriades), Richard Stirling (Hamish Michael), as well as the ambitious Owen Mitchell (Damian Walshe-Howling) as Counsel Assisting, with Detective Inspector Andy Campbell (Christopher Morris) as Police Liaison, Janet and her team peel back the complex layers of intrigue underpinning the illicit trade in weapons. As Janet exercises her powers and begins uncovering the truth, criminal and political forces begin to stir, bent on shutting down the Royal Commission, even if it means destroying Janet in the process. A shocking reveal brings Janet’s world crashing in on her as she faces legal proceedings of a deeply personal nature. Cast Janet King Marta Dusseldorp Owen Mitchell Damian Walshe-Howling Richard Stirling Hamish Michael Lina Badir Andrea Demetriades Andy Campbell Christopher Morris Tony Gillies Peter Kowitz Heather O’Connor Leah Purcell Bianca Grieve Anita Hegh Deborah Larsson Genevieve Hegney Major Simon Hamilton Aaron Jeffery

    RELEASED: Monday 25 April 2016 Seven stars appear in gripping new drama - Seven Types of Ambiguity ABC TV is pleased to announce that filming is underway in Melbourne on the six-part drama series Seven Types of Ambiguity, based on the critically acclaimed novel by Elliot Perlman. Starring some of Australia’s finest actors including; Hugo Weaving, Xavier Samuel, Alex Dimitriades, Leeanna Walsman, Anthony Hayes, Andrea Demetriades and Susie Porter, Seven Types of Ambiguity is a psychological mystery that explores the complicated emotional terrain of relationships and the risks people will go to in the name of love. When seven-year-old Sam Marin is taken from school, his parents Anna (Leeanna Walsman) and Joe (Alex Dimitriades) are frantic. Hours later Sam’s found unharmed and after an initial investigation, the police arrest Simon Heywood (Xavier Samuel).

Before long, Simon’s psychiatrist and ally Dr Alex Klima (Hugo Weaving), barrister Gina Serkin (Susie Porter), and even Joe’s best mate Mitch (Anthony Hayes) are pulled into the mystery of uncovering just why Simon really took Sam.

Filmed and set in Sydney’s glamourous Eastern Suburbs, this four- part drama series event from Aquarius Films starts Thursday June 3 at 8:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand, with all episodes available to stream at the same time of the premiere. When a $16 million necklace is taken from self -made businesswoman Roxanne Waters’ (Michelle Vergara Moore) home in an elaborate heist, the ensuing police investigation exposes cracks in Eastern Sydney’s sparkling façade. With the stakes higher than ever, can the masterminds stop themselves from turning on each other, or will they discover a friendship worth more than diamonds? Aina Dumlao (Sanzaru, Ballers, MacGyver), AACTA award-winner Miranda Otto (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Homeland, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Michelle Vergara Moore (Condor, The Time of Our Lives) headline the outstanding ensemble cast. Both entertaining and enthralling, the series uses the hook of the heist genre to unpack the complex relationships between a diverse group of women. The Unusual Suspects marks the first major representation of Filipino-Australians on Australian television and continues SBS’s legacy of delivering exceptional drama exploring the rich diversity of Australia in an authentic and nuanced way.
