HOT ALERT: Week of 3 August
Starting this week I’m going to trial a different type of post – an alert as to what I think will be HOT in the coming week. Please let me know your thoughts about these weekly posts! For the week of 3 August, some events in my diary: MIFF continues – I’ll be seeing a [...]
HOT: Tales from the Golden Age, Greater Union, 131 Russell St, Melb
MIFF #5: One of the more memorable trips that RM and I took during our time in London was our long weekend in Bucharest and Transylvania. Our experience of Romania was a bizarre combination of wild boar meatballs, razed old towns, desolate bus stations and massage parlour tourist maps – and so we have a [...]
HOT: Land of Madness, Forum Theatre, 154 Flinders Street, Melbourne
MIFF #4: The filmmaker Luc Moullet hails from the Southern Alps of France and he has noticed a bizarre habit in the inhabitants of the region. Land of Madness is his quirky investigation as to why a ‘pentagon of insanity’ exists in this remote area of France and Moullet delivers his narration with deadpan drollness [...]
HOT: Humpday, Greater Union, 131 Russell St, Melbourne

Do you become [...]
HOT: Rough Aunties, Greater Union, 131 Russell St, Melbourne
MIFF #2: Our second MIFF film was another hard-hitting African documentary, this time set in South Africa. Rough Aunties is an inspirational film about a group of strong, feisty women who help and protect the abused children of Durban. The suffering of the little victims are horrendous, from beatings to molestation to rape to incest, [...]
HOT: My Neighbor, My Killer, Greater Union, 131 Russell St, Melbourne
Australia’s largest film festival is held every year in Melbourne in the depths of winter. Despite the icy chill of August, the Melbourne International Film Festival is one of my favourite times to be in town. I love seeing the snaking queues of black-clad cinephiles and feeling the palpable buzz of anticipation all around the [...]
