latest reviews
Youth In Revolt
While ocasionally a little too clever for its own good, this witty and ambitious comedy comes out on top.
Visioneers
A peculiarly compelling little film which admirably demonstrates restraint and well-paced comedic timing.
Beneath Hill 60
Devoid of overblown heroism and boosted by fine performances, this is a powerfully affecting war tale.
A Prophet
This sprawling ultra-realistic prison drama is a near-masterpiece and further complemented by a clutch of impressive special features.

Adelaide Film Festival Approaches
November 18, 2008 11:01
The Bigpond Adelaide Film Festival will spill out of cinemas and into art galleries and public places as director Katrina Sedgwick presents her most ambitious festival to date from February 19 to March 1 2009.
The Bigpond Adelaide Film Festival (AFF) is one of the youngest and most innovative Film Festivals in the world. The 2009 event will present more than a hundred films from 45 different countries, including a number of world premieres.
The AFF is distinctive amongst international Film Festivals, in that it includes a comprehensive gallery based moving image program. In 2009 the Festival will take a sweeping look at artists working with film from the 1920s.
Stepping out of the cinema, The Playground (21 February to 15 March), is a series of large scale multiplayer games – or street gaming – presented over four weekends with the Adelaide Fringe making Adelaide one of the first cities in the world to develop a festival featuring these pervasive games.
The Dome Project is an exciting series of Screenings & a seminar co-presented by the Australian Network for Art & Technology [ANAT] and the Royal Institution Over 4 nights [February 24 – 27], 45 lucky patrons will board a bus to the Mawson Lakes Planetarium to see a unique program of works created especially for dome environments and introduced by the founder of the annual Domefest from New Mexico.
