I 100% don’t mind the cinemas prices and still intend to buy popcorn, drinks and snacks but I am going to watch the odyssey which is super long and at dinner time. Can I sneak in some maccas? This is for Hoyt’s chadstone.

I would buy burgers from Hoyts too but they are SO bad!

For the Aussies: She played “Mary” in Gallipoli. Anyone know what happened to her? (American Australian Film Renaissance fan here.)

For those who like their lo-fi Aussie comedies black 🖤

After half a year of weekends, late nights, and a lot of problem-solving, we're excited to finally share the trailer for our first horror feature film, WE SLEEP TOGETHER.

The film was made independently in Perth, WA for under $3,000 with a core crew of just 3–4 people. It's been an incredible learning experience and hopefully shows what's possible when you stop waiting for permission and just start making films. We are deep in post production now and can't wait to share the finished product.

We'd love to hear what you think of the trailer, and we're happy to answer any questions about the production. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Bunch of Aussie films at the festival. Get along and catch some great stuff.

Thought this would be a cool event for anyone in Melbourne that’s interested!

Hey Aussies

Hey Aussies,

I'm a South Australian filmmaker, Trav Akbar, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support for a local feature film.

Our team is currently raising funds for THE ROLE, a psychological horror feature film being produced in South Australia by a team of short filmmakers trying to reach the next level!

Indy films don't happen without community support. Every dollar raised helps employ local cast and crew, hire equipment, secure locations, and bring another Australian story to the screen, and the best thing about our campaign is that donations over $2 through the Australian Cultural Fund are tax-deductible for Australian taxpayers.

If you've ever wanted to support local arts, Australian filmmaking, or emerging Australian talent, or just give a big get fuck, you to the tax man, we'd be incredibly grateful for your support, and it's the perfect opportunity to do it without actually losing any money!

Even if you can't donate, sharing the campaign helps enormously.

Thank you for supporting Australian creatives.

So i'm taking a politics class and have recently found out this movie exists. I need to watch this movie with friends at 2am in the morning, but I refuse to give Pauline money.

The Australian film Sky Pirates was released in 1986 and was inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film was directed by Colin Eggleston, written by John D Lamond, with the music composed by Brian May (who composed Mad Max 1979). Sky Pirates was actually an enjoyable romp of a film, and the director sent a VHS copy to Steven Spielberg.

Umbrella Entertainment released a remastered Blu-ray of Sky Pirates with only 1200 copies available
