Before Midnight

Australian Premiere

Before Midnight

Before Midnight is sort of a sequel to Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, it follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) over the course of one day. It's been nine years since we last saw them, and we meet them this time in their early 40's on holidays in southern Greece. Things have gotten quite grown-up since the heady days of young romance which is bound to happen with a long-term relationship and the addition of some kids. Before Midnight is a wonderful third part of this story of love and life, as it is as honest as it is romantic. The film garned amazing reviews after screening at the Sundace Film Festival as well as the Berlin Film Festival. Indiewire fell in love with it awarding it with an 'A+'! Check out the Indiewire review here.
If you'd like to be one of the first people in Australia to see Before Midnight, we are happy to announce that the Sydney Film Festival will be presenting the Australian premiere on June 8 at the State Theatre - for tickets click here. And if you'd like to experience (perhaps once again, or for the first time) the story of Jesse and Celine in its entirety, you can book yourself tickets to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset by following this link. All three films will screen on Saturday June 8 in sequence. What a treat!

Satellite Boy

David Gulpilil's new film

Satellite Boy

Satellite Boy is a new Australian film, which premiered at the prestigious 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. The first feature from award-winning director Catriona McKenzie, it tells the story of 12-year-old Pete, who lives in the remote Kimberley area with his grandfather. When his grandfather's home is threatened with demolition, Pete sets off for the city with his best friend to try and save his home. Legendary Australian actor David Gulpilil stars as the grandfather, well known to cinema audiences from the early 70s in his breakthrough role in Walkabout and through four decades of performances including Storm Boy, Crocodile Dundee, Ten Canoes and The Proposition. Pete is beautifully portrayed by newcomer Cameron Wallaby.
Fable-like in its story-telling, Satellite Boy shows a world torn between old and new, tradition and progress. The Toronto International Film Festival called it "a beautifully textured portrait of childhood, cross-generational bonding and the intersection of ancient and modern Aboriginal culture" and the Berlin Film Festival praised it with a special mention in the Generation competition. We're extremely excited and proud to be releasing this touching film in Australia on June 20.
