HENRY OF NAVARRE (Jo Baier, Germany/France/Spain)
It is always tempting to ascertain a link or a thematic accent in the programming of a film festival. Threads are there but creating a strong argument in that direction is always a bit of a false road. In truth, film festivals come together based on the films that are made available to them. However, as with an individual, each Festival has its own distinct personality and interests. At the Montreal World Film Festival, ...
Awards by the specialized juries at the berlinale sometimes are a better indication of the quality of the productions selected than the official awards, though in the 2010 berlinale edition, few disputed the selections of the jury run by Werner Herzog and concurred with the choice of awards for BAL, THE GHOSTWRITER, CATERPILLAR, HOW I ENDED THIS SUMMER, and IF I WANT TO WHISTLE, I WHISTLE. These films obtaining the golden or silver bear awards, let in Herzog’s word the viewer discern dark corn...

As has become a pleasant habit here at the Berlinale, Asian cinema is highly prominent in all sections of the Festival. The Berlinale has long been the international launching pad for films and filmmakers from the Far East. The Festival is credited with giving their first international recognition to such celebrated filmmakers as Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Kim Ki-Duk, Johnnie To and Chan Wook Park. Ang Lee's debut film PUSHING HANDS premiered in Berlin and Lee eventually went on to win ...
Celebrating
its fifth year in 2010, the Hillside
Film Festival is calling for entries from Victoria’s most promising young
filmmakers.
The festival gives emerging filmmakers the opportunity to see their
films on
the big screen in front of a large audience, be judged professionally
by some
of the most respected filmmakers and writers in the country, and win
some
fantastic prizes along the way.
Screened in
one of Victoria’s
most-beautiful cinemas, the Cameo Outdoor Cinema in Belgrave, the
festival
proudly focuses on artistic excellence and innovation, celebrating
great
filmmaking across all genres, styles and budgets. We want to hear from
young
filmmakers with a unique voice, a story to tell and a fresh approach to
filmmaking – not just those with the best equipment or famous friends.
Industry
judges include Sandra Sciberras, director of the AFI award-winning
‘Caterpillar Wish’ (AUS 2006), and Bridget
Callow, producer of the
AFI-nominated ‘Bitter and Twisted’ (AUS
2008).
This year, filmmakers are competing for a stack of
cash and awards, including a $1,000 cash prize from The Upwey
& District Community
Bank Group and a prize pack from
Madman Entertainment. Selected films will also feature on the small
screen,
presented on Foxtel’s Aurora Community Channel as part of Youth Week
2010. To
enter, films must be 15 minutes or less, and the filmmaker from
Victoria and aged
30 or under.
