What the, IF?

So a week ago I come home to find my monthly subscription of IF mag lying on the kitchen table. I flick through it, read a few articles then put it down. Just before I go on to make some dinner I think, oh Rachael's column (as I usually read the magazine front to back and check out her column regularly).

Then, what the? There is Into the Shadows in print for the first time in an Aussie film mag.

A great surprise!

Gone Filming

So the bag is packed, batteries are charged and my train ticket (print out) is wedged in my wallet. In a few hours I will not be bright eyed and bushy tailed nonetheless I will be on my first train ride from Canberra all the way to Dungog. From May 29- June 1 I will be in Dungog attending the Film Festival while Phil stays home editing.

I heard on a radio interview today, the director of the festival say something like, 'we need more venues that screen Australian films'. What do you think? Do our exhibitors need to support Australian films better or do Australian filmmakers need to make better films? Have Aussies lost the love for Aussie cinema? If you think 'we' have can it be revived?
