US distributor IFC Films and sibling IFC Midnight have set multi-platform launch dates for Shannon Murphy’s 'Babyteeth' and Natalie Erika James' 'Relic', but release plans for Australia are yet to be settled.
Ben Mendelsohn, casting director Kirsty McGregor, Australian Cinematographers Society national president Ron Johanson and the ABC's Sally Riley are among the Aussies recently invited to join the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science (AMPAS).
