Vivid Sydney and Sydney Film Festival Present Inside the Rover, an Exclusive Filmmaker and Cast Panel Discussion STRICTLY EMBARGOED until Monday May 19: Sydney, Australia VIVID SYDNEY AND SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL PRESENT INSIDE THE ROVER, AN EXCLUSIVE FILMMAKER AND CAST PANEL DISCUSSION Vivid Sydney, and the 61st Sydney Film Festival today announced that tickets are now on sale for a special panel discussion ‘Inside The Rover’. Director David Michôd, cast members Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, and producer Liz Watts are set to participate in the talk. The signature event will take place on Sunday June 8 at 3pm in Sydney’s Town Hall, and is part of Vivid Sydney, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest festival of light, music and ideas. Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner, Minister for Tourism and Major Events said the decision of The Rover’s filmmakers and actors to personally attend the Sydney Film Festival premiere and hold an in-depth Vivid Ideas talk was testament to Sydney’s global appeal and status as a hub for the creative industries. “The NSW Government continues to encourage the growth and development of NSW creative industries through creative events like Vivid Ideas,” Mr Stoner said. “Vivid Ideas has an expanded line up of world class creative leaders again this year, and it is fantastic to include David Michôd, Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, and Liz Watts in our annual celebration of innovation, creativity and community. “I am sure that I am not the only Australian who is looking forward to seeing the Sydney Film Festival Premiere of The Rover and hearing about their creative process first hand,” Mr Stoner said. The Rover, David Michôd’s much-anticipated follow up to his award-winning 2010 debut feature Animal Kingdom, is an uncompromising dark thriller set in a dangerous near-future 10 years after the collapse of the economic system. The Rover depicts an Australia without law or order, where the country’s natural resources have attracted a range of opportunists, and life is cheap. Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer, Sandra Chipchase said: “Australia has a rich cinematic history and it is fantastic to see that Australian film makers like David Michôd are continuing this legacy.” “I am delighted that Vivid Ideas has secured The Rover and some of its key creatives in partnership with the Sydney Film Festival and I encourage people to make the most of the opportunity and come to Sydney to see some of the world’s leading talent and film makers.” The exclusive event, moderated by film critic Margaret Pomeranz, will facilitate an in-depth exploration of the process behind creating the ferocious slow burn thriller. The Rover is part of the Official Competition selection, with the Australian premiere taking place at the State Theatre on Saturday June 7 at 7pm and the second screening on Sunday June 8 at 11.30am. Vivid Ideas Festival Director, Jess Scully, has put together the largest ever Vivid Ideas line-up of creative leaders and emerging talent and is delighted to introduce this new signature event. “Vivid Ideas this year boasts an expanded program, with over 180 events spanning 14 creative industries and appealing to a wide variety of interests. The ‘Inside The Rover’ panel discussion is a very exciting addition to the program, offering audience members the chance to dig deep into the film and explore the creative thinking and concepts behind it,” Ms Scully said. Tickets are $45 plus booking fee and go on sale at 9:30am Monday May 19 via Sydney Film Festival and Vivid Sydney.

  • International Film Festival April 24 – May 4, 2008 the Washington, Dc International Film Festival
    THE 22ND ANNUAL WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 24 – MAY 4, 2008 THE WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A world of films…a window into our world. Whether experienced in movie theaters, on DVDs or television in our homes, on our iPods or computers, films are the major communications media of our time. Hollywood films dominate commercial cinema. However, scores of talented filmmakers around the globe produce thou- sands of quality films that speak with a different voice, provide a different point of view, and tell different stories. Presenting these films in the nation’s capital is the purpose of Filmfest DC. Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Film festivals are a journey of Tony Gittens, Festival Director and Shirin Ghareeb, Assistant Director discovery, a visual and thought provoking adventure into how people see and interpret our world. Every Filmfest DC is different and every film is unique from every other film in the festival. Together, they comprise an amazing representation of human imagination, commitment and talent. The festival has two special focuses this year — Politics & Film and New Latin Ameri- can Cinema. Obviously, politics are especially prominent during this election season and we wanted to explore the role affairs of state play in people’s every day lives. Latin American filmmakers are always a treasure trove of inventive storytelling. The di- verse selection of new work we have gathered from the Spanish-speaking world (in- cluding Spain) are moving, humorous, and insightful. None of this would be possible without the many dedicated people who have shared their time and talents with Filmfest DC.

  • Destination East Coast Australia It’S All About the Water
    © Lonely Planet Publications 21 Destination East Coast Australia It’s all about the water. The East Coast of Australia bangs into the Pacific Ocean for some 4000km (almost five times that if you measure every notched crag and every sinuous strand). Or maybe it’s the other way around: the Pacific bangs into the coast. Given the number of surfers riding those breaks, it’s probably the latter. Life here revolves around water and so will your trip, often in ways you might not imagine. Take Melbourne: one of its great joys is its café culture, which entices you to nurse a long black for hours. What’s key to that cof- fee you’re drinking? Water. Move up the coast a bit along to southeastern Victoria. What’s at the heart of those misty, fern-filled temperate rainforests? FAST FACTS Water.
