As I tell Gabrielle in the following interview, when a new Gabrielle Brady film emerges into the world, it is like the arrival of a gift, one that pulls us into a mindset of considering the lives of others, including those of the crabs of Christmas Island, or maybe the horses of the Gobi Desert. It's one that encourages us to see the world of truth differently. That notion of truth is something I've asked filmmakers a lot lately, and I'm conscious of its almost accusatory nature, as if documentary filmmaking must adhere to one True Reality. But it's impossible. The truth can never be captured on screen, and truth is in itself a falsity. After all, as soon as you put a camera on an event, or slice it with an editing suite, or apply a score to it, you are skewing reality away from the truth. Documentary storytelling is, by its own creation, not the truth. Yet, the emotions that we're left with and the memories that linger in our mind after the film has long played out, become a source of truth. Yet, as I slip into this spiral a little further, it's clear that co-authored filmmaking like that of Gabrielle Brady's exists to explore versions of the truth, to bring stories of subjects and collaborators to life, and to enrich our collective world.These notions are underpinned by Gabrielle's choice to study at the prestigious La Escuela Internacional de Cine in Cuba, a place which fosters the notion to 'defend the rights to ones own image' and to 'liberate the viewer's gaze'. These are ideas that I ask Gabrielle about in the following interview, which gives way to an open conversation about her creative process, and what it means to be able to work alongside people like Poh Lin, Davaa and Zaya, and Michael Latham, on her films.This interview was recorded ahead of Wolves' screenings at the Sydney Film Festival on 10 and 12 June. This is a film I urge audiences to see in a cinema, let it overwhelm your senses. Let it change you. If you're interested in reading about how the film changed me, then you can read my review here.

Conversamos com Kleber Mendonça Filho, melhor diretor no Festival de Cannes deste ano por "O Agente Secreto", que está na Austrália para a exibição do longa no Sydney Film Festival. Na semana em que a SBS completa 50 anos, preparamos uma entrevista com Francisco Sena Santos, veterano do jornalismo em Portugal e correspondente da SBS em português em Lisboa desde 1995. E uma reportagem especial sobre o que mudou nos últimos 50 anos para os australianos LGBTQIA+.

In Matt's first episode as our new co-presenter, we are joined in the studio by writer/director David Robinson-Smith. Hailing from Budgewoi NSW, David’s interest in film first started in primary school leading to a stint at the Australian Film Television and Radio School where he directed his Master's film Mudcrab which was a 'Short of the Week' Pick, won a host of national and international awards, and was nominated for Best Short Film at the 2024 AACTA Awards. His followup, We Used to Own Houses, was also critically acclaimed and won Best Short Film at CICLOPE Asia 2024, was nominated for Best Direction in a Short Film at the 2023 Australian Director’s Guild Awards and won Best Short Film, Best Innovation and Best Original Score at the 2024 St Kilda Festival. We’re so excited to have David join us in the station today to talk about his film career to date, his upcoming feature projects and his latest short, The Shirt Off Your Back which is showing tonight and next Monday, June 9, at the Sydney Film Festival which is on until sunday, June 15th. The Shirt Off Your Back at the Sydney Film Festival 2025 Mudcrab (2022) We Used to Own Houses (2023) David's Instagram Matt's Instagram This episode was produced and edited by Zaity Salman. Out of the Box is recorded at the fbi station in Redfern, which is on unceded Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to Gadigal elders past and present and recognise the ongoing colonial violence committed across this country. Wherever you’re tuning in from in so-called Sydney, the land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zoe Pepper mines the generational wealth divide for all its worth in the acidic WA-made comedy Birthright. Cory (a perfectly cast deadpan Travis Jeffery) and his very pregnant wife Jasmine (an equally deadpan and delightful Maria Angelico) are getting the shaft from their rental. Stuffed in more ways than one, they load up all they can into the boot of their car and trundle off to the sanctuary of mum and dad, Cory's baby-boomer parents, Richard and Lyn (pitch perfect casting of Michael Hurst and Linda Cropper).Cory's parents live in a swanky abode in a leafy green suburb somewhere in Perth. Their house has more rooms than they need, with costly, barely used furniture swaddled in sheets and blankets to protect them from dust. Their home feels, well, a little soulless, like the misused result of decades of wealth accumulation; by any other name they might be called 'hoarders'.I couldn't help but unleash my praise on Zoe in the following interview, one which explores the foundations of the film, its relevance to now, the casting process, and the joys of bringing dark comedy to life on screen. I also apply a misreading to the film about a rock that Richard holds during one scene, summoning the name of one Scott Morrison, and alluding to his infamous embrace of coal in Parliament House.Birthright is the kind of film that'll shine with an audience, and for Aussies in Sydney, they'll get the chance to do so on Thursday 12 June, with two more sessions on 13 and 14 June at the Sydney Film Festival.

Last night, some families of Pike River mine victims, along with members of the cast and crew, attended the world premiere of Pike River at the Sydney Film Festival. The feature film tells the story of the Pike River mine tragedy that took the lives of 29 men back in November 2010. Told from the perspective of the families, the story centres on close friends Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse, who both lost a family member in the explosion. Director Rob Sarkies says it was a 'special' experience seeing a packed audience engage with the film. "There's so many reasons why it's important to me - it's clearly an enormous and very resonant New Zealand story. Those two words - Pike River - mean so much."

"Diciannove", opera prima di Giovanni Tortorici, arriva al Sydney Film Festival dopo i passaggi a Venezia e Toronto. Un film autobiografico e rarefatto sulla solitudine a diciannove anni.

Amalie Atkins loving documentary Agatha's Almanac follows Agatha Bock, Amalie's aunt, as she lives her life on a farm in southern Manitoba, tending to the vegetables, beans, and the soil. She preserves the heirloom seeds she has nurtured and maintained for decades, connecting her to her families past, and tenderly supporting herself using traditional methods. Agatha is also 90 years old, with her connection to the soil being a life-enriching experience.The charm of the film not only comes from Agatha's connection to her farming skills, but also from the various stories about her life that she tells. Whether it's the different suitors who have proposed to her over the years, or an accident that she had while tending to a window, or in one poignant moment, her memories of her siblings who have passed, Agatha's stories show a life fully lived with love, sadness, and joy.Agatha's Almanac is shot on 16-mm film, creating a warm, tangible feeling that lingers through every frame. The kiss of the sun on a cold day is felt so keenly, with the varied shades of green lifting spirits as the joyous score of 'Green garden music' plays over the soundtrack. The film was shot with an all-female crew over six years, culminating in an experience that is unexpected and delightful, like a warm hug you had no idea you needed.The following interview with Amalie was recorded ahead of the films screenings at the Sydney Film Festival on 6, 7 and 9 June, where she will be in attendance for Q&A sessions. In this chat, Amalie talks about the tangible nature of the film, one that is interspersed with shots of much-loved gloves, of Amalie's fabric-based artwork, and of course, of the gardens. She also talks about getting to bring her families history to life on screen. We also talk about intergenerational love, and why passing along work practices is important. I had a delight watching Agatha's Almanac, and that delight was matched by this charming discussion with Amalie.

A Japanese food documentary 'Tokito: The 540-Day Journey of a Culinary Maverick,' will be screened at the 71st Sydney Film Festival this month. The film follows a group of chefs who attempt to transcend the boundaries of tradition and create a new Japanese cuisine. During the process of finding food suppliers, issues of the environment, agriculture and food come to light. We spoke to the film's director, Aki Mizutani. - 今月の第71回シドニー映画祭（Sydney Film Festival）で上映される「ときと　革新の料理人たち、540日の記録」。伝統の枠を超え新しい和食を作り出そうとする料理人たちの姿を追います。そこに透けて見える環境、農業、食の問題。作品の監督を務めた水谷明希さんにお話を聞きました。

Director Justin Kurzel has crafted a filmography built on exploring the impact of trauma and violence on a nation. Whether it be his excoriating debut film Snowtown or the acts of cautionary storytelling with Nitram and The Order, Kurzel's work questions how violence and trauma lingers in our bodies, our minds, and in our lands. That's a notion that he explores with impressive strength with his first foray into documentary filmmaking, Ellis Park.There's catharsis in Ellis Park, partially because of Warren Ellis and his healing violin, but – as the man says himself – his presence is minimal compared to the presence of Femke and the conservationists. Yet, when paired with Kurzel and editor Nick Fenton, they collectively bring light to a horrifying trade that scars the environment. I'm shaken by Ellis Park because of its presentation of trauma, but equally so for its depiction of empathy, consideration, and support.This is, oddly, my first time talking to Justin Kurzel. Having listened to and read countless interviews by him, I was aware that I would be engaging with someone who is a deeply empathetic soul, yet I was still left disarmed by his connection to his openness about his connection to his work, his family, and to the art of cinema.To support the film, Warren Ellis and Justin Kurzel will be running Q&A sessions around the nation. All of the details are in the show notes, but make sure to pick up tickets in advance when the film kicks off with a virtual Q&A with Warren Ellis at Perth's Luna Leederville cinemas on 5 June, concluding with a Sydney Film Festival and Vivid Sydney exclusive event on 8 June at the State Theatre. Ellis Park then releases wide across Australia on 12 June 2025.The Ellis Park sanctuary is part of the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, a non-government, non-profit organisation that was established in 2004 to protect Indonesian wildlife, with a focusing on animal cruelty and rescuing animals from the noxious illegal animal trade network.

Queensland: Beautiful one day, deadly the next! For American drifter Zephyr (Hassie Harrison) the gorgeous Gold Coast supplies her with great surfing and anonymity where she can leave her dark past behind. For psychopathic fisherman Tucker (Jai Courtney) the ocean provides him with a living, but his real interest lie in dying: the death of those he reels on to his boat to feed the sharks.Sean Byrne's Dangerous Animals harkens back to Ozsploiation in the best way. It's brutal, quick paced, and one hell of a survival horror. Sharks plus serial killer – the perfect bait for Aussie entertainment.Nadine Whitney spoke with Jai Courtney, Sean Byrne, and Hassie Harrison about dipping their toes into shark infested waters.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Dopo aver vinto il premio come miglior opera prima alla XIX edizione della Festa del Cinema di Roma, la pellicola approda in Australia.

Sarah Roberts has been through more than most people in the last five years. The actor and DJ lost her brother in 2019, grappled with infertility and pregnancy loss and last year, ended her marriage to her former Home And Away co-star James Stewart. But Sarah believes that when she turned 40 last December, she finally turned a corner. In this exclusive conversation, Sarah joins us in the Something To Talk About studio to discuss what her life looks like now, reveal that she has found love again, and discuss how appearing in Make It Look Real, a new documentary about the rise of intimacy coordinators on film and television sets, taught her how to finally set boundaries — and in the process, changed her life for the better. This episode touches upon pregnancy loss. If you or someone you know needs support, visit Miscarriage Australia. You can watch Sarah in her new documentary Make It Look Real at the 2025 Sydney Film Festival, 4-15 June. Watch the full episode with Sarah here.

There's a delirious level of dark comedy that thrives in the new short film DIY from director Tony Gardiner and writer Lachlan Marks. A woman, played with a disarming ease by Claire Lovering, is mourning the passing of her dog. As she drills into the wall to hang up a picture of her pup, she is surprised to find blood coming out of the hole. Heading to the other side of the wall, she finds the dead body - the first of the dilemmas she encounters. The next is Damon Herriman's organised crime cleaner. From here, DIY unfurls in a delirious level of bleak comedy that splashes the audience with acidity as we're invited to laugh along with the depths that Tony and Lachlan's characters fall into.I caught up with Tony and Lachlan ahead of DIYs screenings at both the St Kilda Film Festival on 8 June and the Sydney Film Festival on 14 June, where the film is a finalist in the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films. In the following interview, Tony and Lachlan talk about their collaborative approach to horror-comedy filmmaking, while Tony talks about shifting from working on industry testing grounds like Neighbours and Home & Away onto projects like DIY. The two also talk about the political nature of filmmaking and how reflective and responsive the creative process can be.DIY is an absolute treat of a short film - the kind that blitzes by in a moment, leaving you with a giddy sensation at its close after having left you gasping for breath with its ability to draw laughs out of dark situations. This is the kind of film that thrives with an audience, and no doubt those who are in attendance at either St Kilda or Sydney will love the film.To find out more about the film, follow both Tony and Lachlan on Instagram.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

This is the kind of film that thrives with an audience, and no doubt those who are in attendance at either St Kilda or Sydney will love the film.To find out more about the film, follow both Tony and Lachlan on Instagram.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Joie de Vivre" isn't just a phrase; it's a way of life. Sylvie Boisel, born and raised in France, was immersed in music and joy from birth. Trained as a singer and actress, she quickly charmed audiences in Paris and beyond, using music and humor to captivate with her unique style. **Australia** In 2006, Sylvie's artistic spirit led her to Australia, where her effervescent voice and style brought Piaf, Jazz, and American standards to life. She became known for her distinctive shows, performing at major events like the Sydney Film Festival and a nationally televised Wallabies luncheon, where she sang for Prime Minister John Howard. **The U.S.A.** Sylvie celebrates the deep cultural ties between France and the U.S., especially the shared symbol of the Statue of Liberty. In New York, she performed on Broadway and at “Best of France” in Times Square. After two years, she moved to Las Vegas, performing at venues like Red Rock Country Club and Dress for Success. And many venues and libraries. With her show I love Paris and her Tribute to Edith Piaf. She also proudly sang the French anthem for an American veteran honored with the Legion of Honor.

On this episode, I interview BIRDEATER directors Jack Clark and Jim Weir. The movie, about a bride-to-be invited to her fiance's unhinged bachelor party, has taken Australian audiences by storm since its Sydney Film Festival premiere in 2023. Featuring at Melbourne International Film Festival & SXSW, the movie's garnered audience and critical praise, culminating (as of the time I write this) in a nomination for Best Indie Film at the 2025 AACTA Awards (think Australia's combined Oscars and Emmy shows).The film starts its limited American theatrical/digital run this week so what better occasion is there to bring Clark and Weir onto the show to chat about their nuanced, chaotic, delirious pressure cooker of a thriller? For such a passive aggressive movie, these guys are really amiable...---Follow, rate & review The Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you fortify your cinematic spirit with rigorous, loving opinions.

There's space in this Bluey obsessed world for two Aussie animated canine stories, with Alexs Stadermann's utterly delightful and wonderfully inventive series 100% Wolf following the exploits of one Freddy Lupin, a werewolf who turns into a puffy pink poodle when the moon comes out. Kicking off in 2019 with the bright and brilliant 100% Wolf which saw Freddy at odds with his pack as he had to prove that he had the heart of a wolf, a hugely successful TV series spawned, following the story of Freddy, his bouffant friend Batty, a slightly loopy Papillion, and Hamish, a dottery old West Highland White Terrier, and their group of misfit friends.I was able to chat with director Alexs Stadermann and star Ilai Swindells prior to the films world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival and I got to ask both of them about the delight of fart jokes in films. My chat with Alexs does touch on some slight spoilers, but it's nothing that would impact your enjoyment of the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"After finishing my first feature, I felt so accomplished and kinda burned out. I had a story for my next film but couldn't go ahead as I was worried that it wouldn't be as good as the first one." A Japanese film director Hiroshi Okuyama's second feature 'My Sunshine' will be screened this week at the Sydney Film Festival 2024. His first film 'Jesus' was also screened at the festival in 2019. - 奥山大史（ひろし）監督の長編映画２本目となる「ぼくのお日さま（My Sunshine）」がシドニー映画祭（Sydney Film Festival）で今週上映されます。１本目の「僕はイエス様が嫌い（Jesus）」が高い評価を得たことが、次作に向けた焦りと壁になったといいます。

One of the finest films having its Australian premiere at the festival is Jaydon Martin's stunning feature debut film Flathead. This fiction-documentary hybrid film follows Cass Cumerford, a bloke near the end of his days who returns to Bundaberg, the region he grew up. Swaying into the town, he finds consolation and support with various religious sects that have sprung up in the land before he flows into the life of Andrew, a Chinese-Australian fish and chip shop owner who is dealing with his own understanding of mortality.Flathead follows these real figures as they're nudged along a partly-fictional narrative, and as the film plays with a sublime black and white presentation, it sways into a dreamlike state, providing a highly affecting story about modern Australia.It's that notion of what a modern Australia is that drives the following conversation with Jaydon, who took four years to make the film and had to leave Australia to realise what it was that he needed to make. Flitting into some of the scenes, and delivering a closing duet with Cass, is fellow filmmaker Brodie Poole, a documentarian in his own right who has also essayed what modern Australia looks like on screen with his documentary General Hercules. Both Brodie and Jaydon are engaging in an essential conversation right now about Australian identity and culture, and in doing so, they're also reasserting the notion of who gets to tell stories on screen in this place we call Australia.Flathead is an experience like no other, and my words here barely scrape the thematic text of the film, nor do they do justice to what Jaydon is putting forward as a filmmaker. As a nation, there is a shortage of filmmakers who operate in the realm of social realism, and I'm hoping beyond hope that Jaydon continues down this path. If so, then we will be richly rewarded as his body of work builds over the years.For now, do what you can to see Flathead. It's one of the finest Australian films of the year.It screens on 12 June and 15 June at the Sydney Film Festival. For tickets, visit sff.org.au. Hosted on Acast.
