IndiVision Screenings NSW 11-14 Feb at the Palace Cinemas, Leichhardt

WHEN 11 - 14 February
WHERE Palace Norton Street Cinemas, Leichhardt

"A selection of the best indie feature films from around the world, many of which have never had a theatrical release in Australia, will screen in Sydney next weekend (11­14 February) as part of the Australian Film Commission’s (AFC) IndiVision Screenings.

From Europe, the UK, Middle East and the USA, the selected films are all multi-award winners that have attracted critical acclaim at festivals and screenings around the world.

Most of the films selected have not been widely seen in Australia, despite their outstanding success at major international festivals from Cannes to Sundance.

The IndiVision Screenings will give keen film-goers the opportunity to see these filmic gems on the big screen.

The program also offers film buffs the opportunity to listen to American producer Joshua Zeman at an audience discussion session after the screening of The Station Agent (USA), the film he co-produced with Mary Jane Skalski. The Station Agent is a low-budget miracle that was made for less than AUD$700,000 but grossed over AUD$15 million internationally. Zeman will be joined at the IndiVision Screenings by great Danish filmmaker Rumle Hammerich, one of the men behind the controversial and successful Dogme films.

The program will start its run in Sydney from Friday 11 to Monday 14 February, and in Melbourne from Friday 18 to Monday 21 February, and will then roll out to other capital cities. Sydney and Melbourne programs include a free screening and panel discussion on low-budget filmmaking presented by Popcorn Taxi, where the top line-up of international speakers includes Zeman, Hammerich, and Fortissimo Film’s Ashley Luke."
