Chronicle
Let down by its illogical “found footage” approach, this remains an impressively compelling ride, which has more in line with classic storytelling than current fads.
Man On A Ledge
While Worthington doesn’t quite match the talent of his top-notch co-stars, this admittedly implausible but impressively dynamic thriller is exciting stuff.
The Artist
Beautifully made, surprisingly fresh, and there’s no denying its charm, but ultimately, it’s a slight case of style over substance.
Martha Marcy May Marlene
Driven by Elizabeth Olsen’s mesmerising lead performance, this languid and unsettling story buries deep into your mind

Sydney Film School is Caught Short
June 29, 2009 17:40
Dedicated to offering support to independent short film filmmakers, the Caught Short Film Festival continues its screenings of selected Australian shorts. On July 2nd the Tap Gallery in Darlinghurst will screen a collection of shorts stamped with a diversity of topics including two Sydney Film School student films.
'You Can Count to Ten' by Stephanie Bridger and ‘Chasing Mel' by Peter Ireland are two of four documentaries selected to screen at next month’s Caught Short’s Film Night.
The two short documentaries, produced in 2008 at Sydney Film School as Part 1 documentary projects, will screen together with George Giampietri’s 'Will to Forget', a dark and funny tale about a couple of party prone kids who accidentally spike a Jehovah’s Witness’ coffee with cocaine and Matthew Graham’s 'Billy', a wonderfully warm and funny portrayal of a typical family conundrum – how to answer the big questions of little kids.
The Caught Short screenings are intimate and inclusive. The TAP Gallery is a community arts space and provides the perfect place for filmmakers to become accustomed to public screenings, whilst networking and getting involved in valuable discussion with an audience and other filmmakers, artists, actors, festival organisers and many more.
The next Caught Short Film Night will be held on Thursday 2nd July from 7.45pm at the Tap Gallery, 278 Palmer St (just off Oxford St), Darlinghurst.
Caught Short invites you to join a pre-screening bevie and grill the filmmakers in the Q&A sessions!
