Their two other films selected for St Kilda are The Wilding and Golden Girl.
The Wilding is a must-see. It premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival this year, where it was nominated for a Teddy Award. It also won the City of Melbourne Emerging Filmmaker Award for Best Australian Short Film, as well as the Audience Choice Best Australian Short, at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival 2012.
Golden Girl is based on a short story by Janette Turner Hospital about a teenager who struggles to cope with her new life in the aftermath of a fire that has left her face and body scarred.
Here is a behind-the-scenes slide show of the Golden Girl shoot, featuring music by Groove Quantize, stills by Brent Lukey and the voice of Marny Kennedy performing ‘The Lady of Shalott’ by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
If you’re coming to St Kilda, you might also want to check out The Palace, directed by Anthony Maras, and Corrie Chen‘s comedy, Bruce Lee Played Badminton Too.
Hope to see you there!
I’d love to go Julie, but the 26 hour round trip is a bit off putting. I’ll send lots of best wishes and love instead.
Oh but I was counting on you to come, Samantha! Haha, thanks for the love and best wishes.
This is all kinds of rad.
Come hang out with us after the EWF conference!
