Claude Gonzalez and Frans Vandenburg have been following the stranger-than-fiction life of filmmaker John Farrow, father of Mia, for over 10 years. Born in 1904 in Marrickville, Sydney, John Farrow's curious story ranges from fleeing Australia at age 17 to penning a Tahitian French Dictionary, winning an Oscar for 'Around the World in 80 Days', and marrying the glamorous Hollywood star Maureen O'Sullivan.
The editors of 'Ladies in Black', 'Bloom' and 'The Final Quarter' were among the honorees of the Australian Screen Editors' annual Ellie Awards presented on Saturday night at the Eternity Playhouse in Darlinghurst.
