MIFF - Frontier of Dawn
When even a MIFF audience leaves the cinema muttering that a film is "too French", you know it must be very French indeed. A tortured romance by post-New Wave director Philippe Garrel - and starring his dreamy son, Louis - Frontier of Dawn's languid predictability didn't fare so well at Cannes.
The Arthur Russell Paradise Express
Here at ThreeThousand, we've believed it for a while: disco is the new nu rave. But, as Malcolm Gladwell has said (between trips to the money-counting machine), every trend needs a tipping point. And mark our words, for disco in Melbourne the tipping point will be Wild Combination: A Portrait Of Arthur Russell.
Bruce LaBruce photography
Bruce LaBruce: not for the kiddies. If only we had noted this on the 2007 Rooftop Cinema program next to Raspberry Reich. Anyway, you know, bygones. Artists Tristan Jalleh and Saskia Pandji Sakti appreciate this legendary Canadian photographer, political pornographer and filmmaker in all his R-rated glory, and they've just taken over curatorship of Pushka's very small ‘Twenty by Thirty' gallery.
Young at Heart charity screening
If you hate Battle of the Choirs, but you like old people, Sonic Youth, and wish to help the homeless, then here's a date for your diary. MIFF and Rooftop Cinema present a charity screening of Young at Heart this Wednesday night on the roof. It's not one of those docos where you will sit there thinking, awww, look at the old people singing the rock 'n' roll - they're so heartwarming.
MIFF - My Winnipeg
Breast milk! Betrayed! Wake up, Winnipegger! Even the titles that flash up during Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg are infectious. It's a kinda-sorta love-hate documentary about his home town, populated by dreamers, lorded over by his all-powerful mother, and made mythical by an avalanche of surreal new facts.
Official Festival Selections
Dragging one's ass out of bed might be necessary for the film festival, even if you do it Schembri-style in a pair of trackies and a matching snarl. But there is another option (not for you, Schembri, you've made your bed so, um, you know).
Our friends at Siren Visual released a little guide outlining their particularly bizarre and awesome porn-meets-samurai-meets-nerd catalogue.
