Elvis editing duo Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond are celebrating a double triumph after backing up their Ellie Award for Best Editing in a Feature Drama on Saturday with the AACTA Award for Best Editing in Film on Monday.
Dutch violinist André Rieu very nearly took centre stage on another slow weekend for the Australian box office, with the screening of his 2022 Maastricht Concert falling just short of overtaking 'Bullet Train' to claim the number one position.
AACTA has announced the nominees for its technical craft awards, with Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis' leading the charge in film, nominated in all nine categories, while 'Mystery Road: Origin' is ahead in television with six nods.
Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis' and Frances O'Connor's 'Emily', produced by Arenamedia, have received a BAFTA boost, with both biopics well represented in the longlist for the annual film awards.
There are only a few extended families that can lay claim to multiple Oscar nominees, but the Villa and Pashley family is one, with both editor Matt Villa and sound designer Wayne Pashley up for 'Elvis'. In this in-depth interview, the pair describe their experiences working with Baz Luhrmann, each other and their craft.
'Elvis', 'Three Thousand Years of Longing', and 'Poker Face' have dominated the feature film categories for this year's Australian Production Design Guild Awards, set to be held in August.
This year’s AACTA Screenfest will see director Bruce Beresford and cinematographer Don McAlpine present the classic 'Breaker Morant'; editor Matt Villa talk about his work on Elvis, and producer Tom Hoffie and creator and showrunner Paddy McCrae discuss their upcoming Netflix series, Irreverent.
This year's AACTA Award for Best Film will be a contest between Baz Luhrmann’s 'Elvis', George Miller’s 'Three Thousand Years of Longing', Leah Purcell’s 'The Drover's Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson', Thomas M. Wright's 'The Stranger', Western Sydney anthology feature 'Here Out West', and Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes' horror 'Sissy'.
