ST KILDA FILM FESTIVAL
AS PART OF ITS AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL TOUR
ST KILDA FILM FESTIVAL HITS SOUTH AUSTRALIA
ON JULY 24 2010
Prizewinning films and stand out favourites from this year's St Kilda Film Festival's Top 100 Australian shorts will this month embark on a national tour visiting 37 destinations.
On Saturday 24 July the tour hits Noarlunga before heading to Port Pirie (7 Aug), Adelaide (12 Aug), Renmark (13 Aug), McLaren Vale (13 Aug), Keith (14 Aug), Naracoorte (15 Aug) and Mt Gambier (16 Aug), then caps off the South Australian leg in Whyalla (19 Aug).
With two jam-packed sessions, these are just some of the film's you will be able to see:
Straight from scooping the Festival's top prize for Best short Film is Tomorrow, directed by Simon Portus, produced by David Curzon and staring Leah Purcell. The film tells a compelling story about the meeting of a country town teenager and a businesswoman on her way to Brisbane. Simon Portus also picked up the Best Director gong for the film, but the accolades didn't stop there - lead actress, Laura Davies walked away with the Best Actor award.
Audiences Australia wide will also get the chance to see the Best Animation winner, Ink. Directed and animated by Justine Wallace, the stylised animation follows the search for a lost toy, a stolen childhood and a girl spray-painting the streets. The program also features Australian talent known to local audiences; Gemma Lee's The Wake which stars Angus Sampson and Pippa Black recently took the Best of the Fest Audience Favourite awards at Palm Springs.
Meanwhile Abe Forsythe brings another favourite to the slate - the one minute short Tomorrow (GPS) staring Emma Lung and Henry Nixon.
Angus Sampson makes his second appearance in the hilarious Audience Award winning short Celestial Avenue which tells the story of a woman, Kath, who has been looking for love in all the wrong places. Then, she finds herself in Chinatown. This 20 minute short film is unlike anything you've even seen Sampson in - funnier that a Thank God You're Here sketch - Angus plays a Chinese man, the recipient of Kath's love.
