Tanith Glynn-Maloney has joined Bunya Productions in the third Indigenous producer placement for the production company owned by David Jowsey, Ivan Sen and Greer Simpkin.
While movie sequels are relatively rare in Australia, the producers of Warwick Thornton’s 'Sweet Country' are convinced they have a new, compelling story which is worth telling.
Another four Australian projects have joined the line-up at the Berlin International Film Festival: feature documentary 'She Who Must Be Loved', 2015 film 'Tanna' and two shorts, 'Blackbird' and 'The Mermaids, Or Aiden in Wonderland'.
After making her feature film debut in Justin Kurzel’s 'True History of the Kelly Gang' Jillian Nguyen has landed the lead female role in Ivan Sen’s 'Loveland'.
This year is shaping as the most eventful and action-packed in the 20-year-career of Indigenous writer-director-producer-actor Leah Purcell.
Twelve female creators have been selected for a four-day intensive genre masterclass, hosted by Bunya Productions and taught by US writer/producer Raelle Tucker ('Sacred Lies', 'True Blood') and Canadian director Jeremy Podeswa ('Game of Thrones', 'The Handmaid’s Tale').
'Sweet Country' was named Best Film at Wednesday's AACTA Award Ceremony, with the period Western also taking home Best Direction for Warwick Thornton and Best Lead Actor for Hamilton Morris.
Nicole Kidman, Simon Baker, Deborah Mailman, Bruce Beresford, Nash Edgerton, Celia Pacquola, Aaron Pedersen, Tina Bursill, Wayne Blair and Leah Purcell are among the nominees who will attend the 2018 AACTA Awards in Sydney on December 5.
