Text Me Your Thoughts On This EpisodeIn this episode, I'm joined by Greg “Miff” Smith—a true pioneer in Australian skydiving. With nearly five decades in the sport and more than 12,000 jumps to his name, Miff has been a driving force behind the growth and evolution of skydiving in South Australia and beyond.Since making his first jump in 1977, Greg has become one of the country's most respected Chief Instructors. In 1986, alongside Gavin Northsworthy and Kevin Taylor, he helped introduce tandem skydiving to South Australia, making the sport more accessible to newcomers. Over the years, his leadership has helped advance safety protocols and raise equipment standards across the region.At SA Skydiving—founded in 1989—Greg serves as Director, Senior Pilot, Drop Zone Safety Officer, Examiner, and Instructor for both Tandem and AFF. His contributions have helped shape SA Skydiving into one of Australia's premier drop zones, offering breathtaking experiences and high-quality training.Beyond his professional achievements, Greg has mentored generations of skydivers—including his own children—creating a tight-knit community rooted in passion and progression.Join me as I speak with Greg “Miff” Smith about his journey, his impact on the sport, and the legacy he continues to build in Australian skydiving.

Yoseph Haddad er en israelsk-arabisk samfunnsaktivist, foredragsholder og leder for organisasjonen Together—Vouch for Each Other, som arbeider for samarbeid og forståelse mellom arabere og jøder i Israel. Haddad har også vært en viktig stemme internasjonalt, hvor han har delt sine erfaringer som tidligere soldat i det israelske forsvaret IDF og sitt arbeid med å bygge broer i et samfunn preget av mangfold.  Yoseph ble invitert av MIFF til Bergen for å holde foredrag, og MIFF fløy meg til Bergen og la til rette for denne samtalen mellom meg og Yoseph. Tusen takk til MIFF for dette. ►  ⁠BLI ⁠⁠⁠⁠MEDLEM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Fremover vil de som er støttemedlemmer få tilgang til episodene først. Da støtter du podcasten med det samme som prisen av en kaffe hver måned.

Med meg denne gang er Conrad Myrland fra MIFF. Vi har nettopp rundet årsdagen for det brutale terrorangrepet som Hamas startet mot Israel den 7. oktober 2023. Dette er temaet for samtalen. Selv om mange sliter med traumer etter denne dagen ser vi samtidig at Israel går seirende fram gjennom sin krig mot de islamistiske terroristene.

Denne gang har jeg med Conrad Myrland som gjest. Temaet er MIFF og deres arbeid. Det er mange som setter pris på arbeidet deres og har opplevd en sterk vekst og passerte nylig 15000 medlemmer. MIFF er en livssynsnøytral organisasjon og har derfor også en god del jødiske medlemmer. Det er en kjensgjerning at Israel opplever nærmest en unison negativ holdning fra hovedmediene i Norge. Heldigvis er MIFF en god vaktbikkje mot faktafeil som brukes i de store mediene i Norge som NTB og NRK.

In this episode we discuss Adam Elliot's award winning film 'Memoir of a Snail', which which was the opening night film of MIFF 2024. And we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Ishiro Honda's 1954 film 'Godzilla'.

Conrad Myrland er daglig leder og ansvarlig redaktør i Med Israel for fred (MIFF). Myrland ble i 2020 kåret av The Algemeiner «topp hundre personer som positivt påvirket jødisk liv» og av Jewish News Syndicates «40 mest innflytelsesrike talsmenn for Israel i sosiale medier». ►  ⁠BLI ⁠⁠⁠⁠MEDLEM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Fremover vil de som er støttemedlemmer få tilgang til episodene først.

Melbourne International Film Festival is set to kick off, Australia's biggest annual showcase of cinema, and we meet the filmmakers behind two films screening as part of this year's event...British filmmaker Luna Carmoon who's 4 x Venice-winning feature debut Hoard is an off-kilter coming of age tale set in South London, about a traumatised, rubbish-fixated teen; and Melbourne based, Hong Kong born experimental filmmaker Audrey Lam, on her first feature Us and the Night, a dreamlike film that takes inspiration from her years working in public libraries.Presenter, Jason Di RossoProducer, Sarah CorbettSound engineer, John JacobsExecutive producer, Rhiannon Brown

When tickets went on sale for Andy Burkitt and Jack Braddy's independent Australian feature film, The Organist, at the 2024 Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), the filmmakers managed a rare feat: they sold out their first two screenings, with a third screening quickly being scheduled. Receiving wide audience support for their world premiere is a phenomenal achievement for these emerging filmmakers.The Organist is a darkly comedic film that speaks to the current global cost of living crisis as it follows Jack's Graeme, a budding organ-procurement businessman who sidles into the lives of struggling millennials and zoomers who have found themselves saddled with an insurmountable level of debt. His solution, or rather, the solution from the company he works for, is to alleviate these struggling souls of one of their organs, and in return their debt will be cleared. In a well rehearsed and successful spiel, Graeme outlines where the organs will go to, detailing the reduced amount of organ donations that's taking place in Australia.Graeme's selling tactics are so strong and persuasive that he's offered a promotion, or rather, an invitation into the darker underbelly of the organisation he works for, where he discovers that the organs he procures don't actually go to needy recipients, but rather one of the wealthy cannibals who pulls the strings behind the scenes.As Graeme falls into the web of the horrid organ donation turned cannibal operation, he encounters Riley (Luke Fisher), a morality focused person who believes he's finally equalled his ledger and seeks to end his life by way of locomotive. Seizing an opportunity to push Riley further into the 'good' side of his ledger, while also equalling up his own ledger, Graeme seeks out a needy donor recipient who can benefit from Riley's demise.The Organist is frequently hilarious, with Jack Braddy's captivating lead turn as Graeme sways from moralistic to opportunistic as he finds himself struggling to stay afloat in a hungry organisation. He's equalled by Luke Fisher's Riley, a soul who was comfortable with the mark he left on the world, only to realise that maybe he has more to give.What follows is a darkly hilarious game of cat and mouse that satirises and critiques the capitalistic society we all live in. This is a confident and impressive debut feature from a set of Aussie creatives who are eager to upend the notion of what Australian films can do. The Organist is a welcome treat as it gives audiences the chance to laugh at the difficult times we live in.In the following interview, Andy and Jack talk about their interest in filmmaking, what Jack learned on the George Miller film Three Thousand Years of Longing that he was able to bring to The Organist, and about the timely presence of the film in the ever-growing cost of living crisis.It screens at MIFF on 13, 15, and 23 of August, with the first two sessions having sold out.

On this episode, Andrew talks with co-directors Indianna Bell and Josiah Allen about their first feature film, You'll Never Find Me. Building on their impressive short film work with Call Connect. and The Recordist, You'll Never Find Me sees a visitor, played by Jordan Cowan, who knocks on the door of Patrick, played by Brendan Rock. She's lost and it's pouring outside, and in the middle of nowhere, his caravan is the only source of sanctuary that she could find. Or is it? What follows is a twisting, turning character piece where two figures push and probe each other trying to figure out just who the other is. It's a double-hander that plays a lot like a card game, with bluffing, truth revealing, and ultimate tension playing out.  I've long been a fan of what both Indianna and Josiah have managed to do with their filmmaking brilliance in South Australia. Call Connect. is a short film that easily stands as one of the most riveting and powerful shorts I've seen, and The Recordist is no different. The two have crafted a visual style with their work that is equally amplified by sound design that creates an immersive sonic landscape that supports Indianna's scripts. If there is a future of independent filmmaking in Australia to keep an eye out for, then it's in the heart of Adelaide with Indi and Josiah's work.  You'll Never Find Me launches at the Melbourne International Film Festival on August 16, with a second screening on the 19th.

On this episode, Andrew talks with the filmmakers behind one of the most anxiety provoking films of the year: Birdeater. Jack Clark and Jim Weir are co-directors, with Jack writing the script for this story about a bachelor party that takes horrifying and wild turns. Part thriller, part character piece, always intense, Birdeater is a film that owes its existence to the legacy of the classic Aussie film: Wake in Fright. In the following discussion, Jack and Jim talk about the influence of Wake in Fright on their film, while also touching on their desire to explore modern masculinity. The pair also talk about the troubles they faced in making the film, and the genuine possibility that they might not have been able to finish production on it. There's a truly unsettling nature to Birdeater, yet it's delivered in a masterfully captivating manner. Birdeater screens at the Melbourne International Film Festival on August 12, 14, and 16, before heading to Cinefest Oz on Saturday 2 September. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
