Well I can't keep up! It seems every week there is a different film festival on in Melbourne and here is but a few of them..
At the moment we have the Russian Film Festival, "Russian Resurrection" showing at Palace Cinema Como unitl September 5th.
With only one day to go the choices are smaller but there is a mixture of romance, thriller and action films left, to meet all tastes.
In a couple of weeks the Environmental Film Festival begins, 16th September - 19th September.
Watch out for the double feature, "Dive", (for those of you who would like to more about what cafe's and the like do with their excess food supplies) and the film "What's Organic about Organic", for those who are intrested in the debate about traditional Agriculture V's Organic.
After the Italian Film Festival (which I have spoken about in a past post) the Greek Film Festival runs from 13th October - 31st October and showing exclusively at Palace Cinema Como.
Watch out for "Bang Bang Wedding", which stars Alex Dimitriades and "Dogtooth" which was selected to screen at the Cannes Film Festival, 2010.
Over in Carlton at Cinema Nova we have The 2010 Mobile Samsung AFI Award Films screening from August 24th - September 16th.
Featuring, "Bran Nue Dae", "Animal Kingdom", "Accidents Happen", "Beneath Hill 60" and other Australian films released over the 2009 -2010 period.
Reel Anime 2010 also begins on September 2nd showcasing anime feature films from Japan. I am not known for my love of anime, however I am going to give it another shot by hopefully catching "Summer Wars", with its premise of the Worlds fate at stake, and in the hands of a young "Computer Nerd".
The Singapore Film Festival screens on September 7th and 8th at both Cinema Nova and Greater Union Russel Street.
"Singapore Dreaming" is one of the films featuring in the program about a family living on a small Island and what happens once they win the lottery.
This film was regarded on its release in "07", as “...one of Singapore’s best films ever.”
