At just twenty years old, transgender wunderkind Alice Maio Mackay has crafted a filmography that would make most seasoned professionals envious. Alice's filmography is built within a defiantly independent space that centres queer stories on screen. From 2021's short film The Serpent's Nest, to the run of genre defying horror and sci-fi feature films that includes 2021's So Vam, 2022's Bad Girl Boogey, 2023's T-Blockers and Satranic Panic, and 2024's Carnage for Christmas, Alice has showed other filmmakers the possibilities of independent cinema within Australia.Alice follows in the footsteps of fellow Aussie trans filmmaker Dee McLachlan, who made a name for herself with the 2007 film The Jammed and the acclaimed series Wentworth, paving a way for fellow trans filmmakers in Australia and across the world. With her own distinct style of filmmaking, Alice has inspired and worked with fellow trans filmmakers like Vera Drew (The People's Joker) and Louise Weard (Castration Movie). Trans critic Willow Catelyn Maclay called this trio of filmmakers the 'Three Headed Hydra of Edgy Doll Cinema' and it's their collective filmography that is shaping what modern trans storytelling looks like in cinema.If you haven't already picked up Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema by Willow and fellow critic Caden Mark Gardner, then make sure to do so. It is one of the vital books about queer cinema.In the following interview, Alice talks about kicking off her career as a filmmaker in Kaurna-Adelaide, growing up on a diet of Buffy and Keeping Up Appearances, while also talking about the fun of making an Australian Christmas film and working alongside non-binary actor Zarif, who has also made a name for themselves as they help shape what Australian queer cinema looks like on screen.There's a notion of communal friendship that exists within Buffy that can be felt as a connective thread of Alice's work. It's a foundational aspect of T-Blockers, which sees a small town overrun by parasites that turn everyday men into horrifying, possessed hosts that spew literal bile, hatred, and violence, threating the local queer community. T-Blockers is a wickedly subversive film that engages in politics and queer identity, while also showing the possibilities of independent genre filmmaking.Alice's work can be found on Shudder or Vinegar Syndrome (T-Blockers, Carnage for Christmas), and all good places where you can rent films.If you want to find out more about the work we do on The Curb, then head over to TheCurb.com.au.

They discuss the cultural differences in wine between Australia and Portugal, the versatility of sparkling red wines, and how they pair with various holiday foods. The conversation also touches on the aging potential of these wines and concludes with a warm holiday message you - our community.

Aussie indie filmmaker powerhouse Heath Davis is back with his fourth feature film, Christmess. This seasonally appropriate flick follows on fom his grounded work with his solid debut film Broke, in 2016. Heath quickly followed this up with the black comedy Book Week, before swerving into thriller territory with Locusts.Here we follow washed up alcoholic actor Chris Flint - the never better Steve Le Marquand - who's getting out of rehab just in time for Christmas. He arrives at the halfway house run by Nick - a phenomenal turn from Darren Gilshenan - only to meet a fellow recovering addict Joy - played by Middle Kids lead singer Hannah Joy. Together they aim to make the best Christmas they can have, while also getting Chris onto the path of some kind of normal.Christmess sees Heath at his very best, showing a drive and fight for indie storytelling here in Australia that we would usually attribute to that of the American indie filmmakers. There's a sense of honest Australiana at work here as the heat of a summer Christmas adds to the drama of day to day life.While Christmess skews towards drama more than it does comedy, it adheres to the Heath Davis mindset of seeing the best in people and setting about to write a film that allows the actors to bring that out in the most natural and genuine way possible. As a trio, Steve Le Marquand, Darren Gilshenan, and Hannah Joy are so completely watchable and engaging that you start to feel like you're home.Christmess recently had its world debut at the Austin Film Festival, receiving wide acclaim from filmmakers and audiences alike. Now Heath has headed out on the road, like every hard working indie filmmaker has to, with the film being received by sell-out audiences. The following interview sees Heath touching on that communal experience of cinema, while also discussing his working relationship with Steve, Darren, and Hannah.Christmess is a seasonal treat, and as it stands, it's one of the very best Australian Christmas films yet.To find out more about where Christmess is screening near you, visit the Facebook page for more details.

Catriona investigates the origins of cat people, or more specifically where and when did cats become domesticated. And also, whether they are truly domesticated at all. Chris looks at a favourite insect, the colourful and seasonal Australian Christmas beetle, which many people think is disappearing, but a national citizen science project aims to keep tabs on the flying baubles. 

On the show today… An absolutely iconic Australian Christmas song is being turned into the feature-length film we always knew it could be.  And the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial is still ongoing, with Heard taking to the stand this week to testify about the alleged abuse she faced during their relationship. The stories she's sharing are harrowing and graphic, but do they have any chance of breaking her out of the very one-sided ‘villain' label the internet has given her? Plus, it's Weekend Watch time! On today's show, we have a returning survivalist drama and a criminally underrated comedy to recommend to you.

The English version of the word "Christmas" captures the exact nature of these holidays. Australians themselves celebrate Christmas in their own way. Mostly on the beach or in the park, with family or friends, in a good atmosphere. - Anglická verzia slova "vianoce" vystihuje presnú podstatu týchto sviatkov. Samotní Austrálčania ich však oslavujú po svojom. Zväčša na pláži alebo v parku, s rodinou či priateľmi, v dobrej atmosfére.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am so into the holiday season that I got you a video here with 12 English words and phrases for the Australian Christmas season. Simple words and phrases like these are always appreciated because they show that you understand Australian culture. Don't forget to do the writing exercise in your FREE PDF download here:

If you don't celebrate Christmas, you might be wondering what's going on when you notice somebody dressed as Santa on a surfboard in December. Australians have embraced some European Christmas traditions, but have also created their own. The good news is, there are many ways of doing Christmas in Australia. - Ger hûn Kirîstmes (Christmas) pîroz nakin, dibe hûn ji xwe bipirsin Baba Niwêl çima di heyva Kanûnê de li ser şepolên deryayê yariyan dike.Australiyên ku hin kevneşopiyên Christamas ji Ewropiyan wergirtine, herweha kevneşopiyên wan bi xwe jî hene.Nûçeya baş ewe ku gelek rê hene Christmas li Australya were pîrozkirin.

Time to revisit a Christmas classic...Red Hot Australian ChristmasLoose Units, Castaway Studios and Tegan Higginbotham proudly present Red Hot Australian Christmas, a hilarious and touching 45-minute Christmas audio play based in Gippsland, Victoria. It's Christmas in Australia, and Victoria is in the grip of an unprecedented heatwave. As the mercury rises across the state, the threat of fire plays heavily on the minds of many. But for a stubborn few, Christmas is – first and foremost – a time for family, feasting, and forced frivolity. And as far as they're concerned, the fires can go and get f**ked. One such believer is grizzled country Grandmother Heather Kelly, who has finally managed to get her entire family under one roof in Maffra, Gippsland. But before Heather even has time to interrogate her children about their failing love lives, the family receive a fire evacuation order. Code Red – they have to leave. With danger pressing in on them, the Kelly family pack Christmas into the back of a caravan and flee for their lives. But as night rolls into day and the fires begin to surround them, Heather has to face up to the fact that she could be about to lose much, much more than her Christmas. Starring (in alphabetical order):Michala Banas, Eddie Baroo, Michelle Brasier, Bev Killick, Jackson Tozer, Paul Verhoeven, Kirsty Webeck. With special guests, Georgia Love and John Verhoeven. Written and directed by Tegan Higginbotham Audio production by Paul Verhoeven Proudly recorded on Wurundjeri land.

In the lead up to Christmas, many Australians decorate their outdoor space AND bring a little bit of nature indoors. But many have not really considered why.

It's Christmas! So, after the year that was 2016, it's only fair to discuss the most Christmassy film that Australia has to offer. Yep, that'd be John Hillcoat's dirty, disgusting western epic, The Proposition. Once again, Andrew has dragged Michael Denniston from War Machine VS War Horse kicking and screaming to discuss an uplifting epic about death and retribution in summertime 1880's Australia. But, before that discussion, Andrew and Bernadette go into the (short) history of Australian Christmas films, while also discussing the importance of recognising Aboriginal Culture in films.
