George Miller.
George Miller and David Stratton in will appear together in conversation at Sydney's Chauvel cinema on March 9 – next Wednesday – as part of the annual French Film Festival.
Miller is just back from the Oscars, where Mad Max: Fury Road took home no less than six awards.
Stratton and Miller will discuss Australian as well as French cinema, which should be good preparation for Miller as he gets ready to head the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival in May.
Making local stories that can compete overseas, a la Kennedy Miller Mitchell, is something the French Film Festival routinely celebrates, said Palace in a statement.
"Few countries have managed to face up to the Hollywood juggernaut that swamps the world's cinemas, but in France American films screen alongside an equal number of French films, from comedies to thriller to intimate psychological dramas".
"France was a pioneer of cinema, and the French have never wavered in their love for the medium. The worldwide popularity of French cinema is the result, and once again this year the Festival is screening a representative selection of new films, with something to please everyone".
