In the Winter Dark Tail Credits
Tail voice over: After Maurice has shot his wife Ida, he heads up the hill to his dying wife. He holds her in his arms and sobs as she dies. Jacob gets Ronnie out of the vehicle and pushes the flat bed Toyota upright. Maurice grabs a shovel and begins to dig a grave for his wife. Jacob carries Ronnie to the truck, and they drive off into the darkness, while Maurice begins the job of digging a hole, pausing to watch the Toyota disappear into the night. Then the image cuts to Maurice sitting on the verandah of his home in pre-dawn light, at first in close up. As his voice over unfolds, the camera pulls back to offer a wide shot of him on the verandah : Maurice (v/o): “Some nights I sit here and talk and stare, and stay out until the break of day …waiting, hoping. There’s been no blue lights, no detectives, no sign of Jacob or Ronnie or her musician boyfriend … and it’s been almost a year… (A kookaburra begins to sound over a wide shot of the dawn light falling on the pasture and the bush). … Sometimes I see a shadow … (ECU of his eyes) …between the trees. But I know to leave these things alone now …(back to a wide shot of him on the verandah, now with dawn light on it) …I make my confession, wait for redemption …or punishment …(a shot of the sun rising over a distant hill, bathing the screen in a yellow hazy glow) …but there’s only the sun rise … Music swells, fade to black, and end credits begin to roll .. -

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. -
Goalpost's the Eternity Man Selected for Locarno Film
GOALPOST’S THE ETERNITY MAN SELECTED FOR LOCARNO FILM FESTIVAL Rosemary Blight, of Goalpost Pictures Australia, is delighted to announce that The Eternity Man, the Julien Temple-directed film opera filmed in Sydney, has been selected to screen in the Piazza Grande at the Locarno Film Festival in Italy. The Eternity Man is the first Australian film to screen in the Piazza Grande since Moulin Rouge in 2001. The Piazza Grande is an enormous Renaissance square in the centre of the Swiss- Italian town which accommodates over 7,000 viewers, with film’s projected nightly onto one of the largest screens in the world. The Festival opens on August 6 with a screening in the Piazza Grande of Julian Jarrold's Brideshead Revisited. The Eternity Man will be in contention for the inaugural Variety Piazza Grande Award, awarded by critics from Variety, and the Prix du Public UBS award. Produced by Rosemary Blight (CLUBLAND, IN THE WINTER DARK) and John Wyver (GLORIANNA), The Eternity Man is based on an opera which premiered at the Almeida Theatre in July 2003 and at the Sydney Festival in 2005 to wide acclaim, and tells the story of Arthur Stace, who spent 40 years chalking a timeless message on Sydney’s streets: the single word, written in copper-plate, Eternity. The film premiered with two special sell-out Opera House screenings at the recent Sydney Film Festival. The Eternity Man is a visually and musically-arresting journey into the grotty heart of Sydney; a place of black humour, alcoholism, bashings, love, sex, lies and shocking beauty.
