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'.
Alena Lodkina’s 'Strange Colours' and Jessica Leski’s documentary 'I Used to be Normal: A Boyband Fangirl Story' opened on limited screens last weekend.
The main character in Alena Lodkina's sophomore feature 'Petrol' may be a filmmaker of Russian background, but the writer-director insists it's a personal tale, not necessarily an autobiographical one.
Every year, the Venice Biennale College program offers a handful of talented emerging filmmakers from around the world an intensive training course in micro-budget filmmaking.
Alena Lodkina's sophomore feature 'Petrol' has been selected for Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente (‘directors of the present’) program, dedicated to first and second features by emerging global talents.
Robert Connolly believes he's found the sweet spot at Arenamedia: a slate that balances large-scale, commercial feature films like 'The Dry' and 'Blueback' with features from exciting emerging voices.
Arenamedia and a broad coalition of industry players have called on the Federal Government to create an Innovation Fund to support new and emerging talent and diverse creative voices.
In the 25 years since he graduated from the Australian Film Television and Radio School Robert Connolly has never been more excited about the future of the film industry.
