• REVIEW: BUY A TICKET TAKE THE RIDE

  26 Jul 2007

• AND SO IT BEGINS - MIFF IS HERE

  26 Jul 2007

  Last night the 56th Melbourne International Film Festival launched with a bang at the Regent Theatre and the Australian premiere of Mike Moore's new polemic, Sicko.

• 'THE SHINING PATH' EXHIBITION AND LAUNCH PARTY

  24 Jul 2007

  To coincide with the screenings of Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo and The Holy Mountain at the Melbourne International Film Festival we are putting on a very special exhibition of local artists at the Carlton Club & Studios.

  Presented by Siren Visual, Neon Parc and ThreeThousand, The Shining Path is a unique collection of psychedelic, abstract, and free-form works. Chosen for their synergy and sympathy with the bizarre world of Jodorowsky this group showing draws the viewer into a world where sensuality and absurdity are one and the same.

• SAMURAI SERIES - AN END WITHOUT A CLIMAX

  20 Jul 2007

  Here’s the deal. For the last 8 months we have been in negotiation with our Japanese counterpart to license the final 3 series of the original Samurai TV show, and despite our best efforts, the demands made are completely unreasonable, and do not constitute what we see as an ‘agreement’ of any kind. As it stands Series 1-6 will be available to purchase until the end of October, and then unfortunately….this is where Shintaro’s story will end for his fans....
