SILVER SCREEN STREAMING

Sydney Film Festival returns as an entirely online event PAGE 1-2

67TH SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL GOES VIRTUAL BY MARK MORELLINI any film festivals around the world have unfortunately been cancelled owing to the COVID-19 lockdowns, but the 67th Sydney Film Festival returns as a virtual event screening a concise program of 33 films. There will be seven feature films, 13 documentaries, and 13 shorts collectively in four sections, which will all be competing for the prestigious awards. Festival director Nashen Moodley explained that it was traumatic having to cancel the in-cinema festival, but he was determined to do something to support the Australian and international film industries.

“We wanted to maintain the connection with our audience but initially we had no idea how we’d go about that because a virtual film festival had never been done before. We had to do a lot of research and find the right platform. It was a lot of work even though we were screening approximately 10% of what we normally screen. It’s not about the number of films but about the different ways of finding and working the system and the negotiations with the filmmakers.” Moodley said there is the possibility that the virtual edition of this film festival may attract a whole new audience who had previously never attended the cinematic festival.

“What this virtual festival has enabled is that the festival is nationwide rather than just Sydney based, so people, wherever they are in Australia, can access the virtual edition. That’s a fantastic thing and a chance to expand our audience this year to people who may have wanted to come to this film festival but were never able. They can get a small taste of the territorial style and atmosphere of the festival.” This year for obvious reasons there won’t be an opening or closing night, or any red-carpet premieres but there will be a virtual awards ceremony where the prize-winners in the four sections will be announced.

Can film festival enthusiasts expect the Sydney Film Festival back in cinemas next year? “I really hope so but of course before we go back into cinemas it needs to be safe to do so and hopefully people will have the enthusiasm to return to cinemas.”

THERE ARE FILMS FOR ALL TASTES AND THE FOLLOWING ARE THREE FILMS WHICH SHOULD PROVE QUITE POPULAR:

possibilities after an elderly woman leaves her aggressive and womanising husband of 45 years in a loveless and abusive marriage. An elegant lady who believes that refined dressing and makeup are essential for all women questions the validity of sacred marriage vows ‘for better or for worse’, proclaiming she has suffered long and hard because of these words. The camera follows her around as she contemplates a better life, taking singing and dancing lessons and meeting new people as she discusses divorcing her husband and embarking on a new relationship.

Morgana Muses divorced her husband and at the age of 47 became a middle-aged porn star. She was disowned by her European family in Albury who expected her to get married, have children, and live a conservative life to the respectable codes of society. This documentary explores Morgana’s journey into the feminist porn movement. Re-inventing herself, she believed that life was not over at the age of 50. Her award-winning films, which have screened at festivals all around the world, have inspired audiences of all ages and her notoriety has led her to the Berlin Porn Film Festival. Engaging interviews with authors, sex educators, and porn stars give credence to Morgana’s ideology that women should not have an expiry date and should not have to adhere to society’s expectations. Morgana said “she’ll keep the pleasure going” but it’s up to audiences to decide whether she’s ridiculous or fabulous. WWW

The harder he tries the more obstacles he encounters and the lower he sinks. A failed boxer on the verge of desperation, he ultimately enters an amateur boxing tournament, hoping to win the €5000 prize money. Raw and gritty this boxing drama should appeal to all audiences, especially boxing enthusiasts, as there are many harrowing scenes in the boxing ring. Themes of love and hope for a better future filter through the morbid reality of this man’s existence. Real characters and situations transpire a relatable film with powerful performances from a fine cast. This is one of the film festival’s must-see films which audiences won’t soon forget! WWWW

This is a documentary without narrations or interviews but is uniquely intertwined with conversational, dramatic, and soapy elements as in mainstream feature films. Audiences will be left pondering whether the dialogue is adlibbed or scripted and most importantly whether the people portrayed in this film are real or fictional. Lessons Of Love is engaging and perfectly contrasts a woman’s old and new life ultimately questioning, are there second chances in happiness and love? WWW1/2

But commuters west of Bankstown station could be worse off as a result of the Metro, having to catch up to three trains to get to the city. With the NSW Government refusing to release the full business case there are growing calls for Metro’s Sydenham to Bankstown line conversion to be cancelled. The deadline for NSW Govt to provide a formal response to all nine Parliamentary recommendations is due October.

BY ALEC SMART allies in support of Black Lives Matter on 6 June attracted tens of thousands across Australia to commemorate George Floyd, a black man who was suffocated to death by a Minneapolis police officer in the USA. Most of the demonstrators followed

R

health authority guidelines to wear masks to limit possible spread of Covid-19 infection. The rallies, in capital cities as well as regional towns, also called for investigations into deaths in custody of Australian Aboriginals and Torres Strait islanders and inquiries into alleged systemic police violence when dealing

with Indigenous communities. Despite comprising 2% of the population, Indigenous people make up 28% of Australia’s prison population. Although a Royal Commission into black deaths in custody in 1991 issued 339 recommendations to remedy the situation, there have been 432 Indigenous deaths in custody since, several attributable to police violence. The Sydney rally defied a NSW Supreme Court ruling banning the protest, instigated by NSW Police, implemented the day before under Covid-19 restrictions. On the day of the rally, organisers lodged an urgent legal challenge in the NSW Court of Appeal. The challenge was successful, overturning the ban just 15 minutes before the rally began at 3pm, by which time there were around 20,000 protestors gathered. After the Sydney rally, a small group of demonstrators were herded into Central Station by police. Officers used pepper spray in what legal observers filmed and alleged was an unprovoked attack. One arrest was made. CITY HUB 11 JUNE 2020

Blackwattle Bay scenarios unacceptable

Infrastructure NSW offer 3 scenarios for Blackwattle Bay Precinct, including 45-storey towers, but opponents claim they limit community space. Photo: Alec Smart

BY DR HANNAH MIDDLETON nfrastructure NSW has issued a brochure with three “scenarios” for the development of the Blackwattle Bay Precinct. Hands off Glebe Inc argues that none of the options is acceptable. The proposed huge residential blocks of up to 45 storeys with

5 to 10 percent for affordable housing are simply unacceptable, additionally since any Aboriginal social housing that may be included will be part of the affordable component. By comparison the Anzac Bridge pylons and the UTS tower block are about 40 storeys or 120 metres. Hands off

Tears for Bondi Road

Glebe Inc believes that any residential development in Blackwattle Bay Precinct must include at least 50% public housing. We do not want a rich man’s ghetto. Infrastructure NSW claims that its plan includes more than 30,000 square metres of new open space. While this is welcome, it includes small parks, roads and pathways. Where is the open space for football, cricket and similar exercise? We do not want our bay and its foreshores surrounded by high rise buildings created for profit rather than to meet the housing, recreational, social and aesthetic needs of the people of Sydney. We want low rise homes that are a mix of public, affordable and private housing, reflecting the current rich diversity in the inner west.

strip. Hundreds walk to it. Many drive or use busses.
 There is a clearway in the mornings heading into the city and again in the evenings heading home to Bondi. We who love this area dread the thought of a permanent clearway ’transit zone’. It would see the end of this area as we know and love it. Just look at the horror of Parramatta Rd - where

shops are closed and dusty and the street dirty - to see what a clearway brings. 
 The Villages DCP (Development Control Plan) is being reassessed. Write to local council planner Jaime Hogan and two local MPs, Gabrielle Upton and Marjorie O’Neill, and tell them to please protect our very successful shopping strip on Bondi Rd.

CANNED, CUTOUT & CRAZY

f you said to somebody a few months ago that they’d spot Britain’s worst serial killer Howard Shipman in the crowd at an NRL match they probably would have called for your psychiatric certification. For starters the notorious GP, who is said to be responsible for the deaths of some 250 people, died in 2004. Nevertheless when TV broadcasts of the Rugby League restarted a few weeks ago, there was Howard – albeit a cardboard cutout sitting alongside a few hundred other cardboard cutouts. With crowds banned at the stadiums, the NRL had introduced a unique promotion where diehard fans could have a cutout of themselves positioned in the front rows of the stands for the princely sum of $22. Some prankster had obviously slipped the horrendously evil Howard in for a bit of a laugh. The one dimensional fans have been vocalised with canned crowd noises which have certainly added to the excitement of the game. It’s just one way media in the COVID-19 world have tried to recreate the old normalcy. As restrictions are gradually lifted 4

and limited crowds allowed back into sporting and cultural events, this virtual reinforcement will no doubt dissipate. However, there is a lot to be learnt from this type of innovation that could well be incorporated into the uncertain future that awaits us all. Comedy clubs and festivals always feature lots of hearty laughter, gaping mouths and nasty droplets of saliva firing in all directions. With a new regime of hygiene in place punters could be encouraged to keep their traps shut and

activate their level of mirth on an easily downloadable smartphone app. The app would generate appropriate levels of canned digital laughter through the central PA system. It would of course be susceptible to manipulation from comedians, those not very funny to begin with, who could easily create a cacophony of hilarity with some really shithouse jokes. These days it’s not so easy to entice TV viewers to become part of a studio audience on various panel and light

entertainment shows. Nobody is giving every member of the audience a car like Oprah once did and who wants to sit through an endless stream of boring infomercials. Cardboard cut outs would not work, but holygrams would. Tune into the ABC’s Q&A in six months time and half the audience could be laser beam extras, even programmed to ask a carefully rehearsed question. Holygrams could be a high tech solution but I would hate to see the company making the old style cardboard cutouts go out of business. A lot of sporting events never sell out and there are always fans in remote areas who can’t travel to the actual ground. Having a symbolic one dimensional presence is certainly a show of support for your much lovde team. The NRL for example just needs to adopt a screening process with a list of undesirables that they don’t want mingling with the family friendly crowd. Howard Shipman is naturally banned for life along with Hitler, Pol Pot. Attila The Hun, Rolf Harris, Ted Bundy, Gary Glitter, Charles Manson, Stalin, the Kray Twins, Roger Rogerson, John Wayne Gacy, Jack The Ripper, Nicolae Ceausescu – the list goes on forever!

ussie theatre initiative Streamed Shakespeare presents a creative way of uniting people in isolation through creating streaming adaptations of The Bard’s most loved plays. Inspired by the COVID-19 crisis, cast and crews have expanded to an international scale as it was initially drawing on only Sydney based talent. The upcoming play Two Noble Kinsmen directed by Eleni Cassimatis will be taking viewers back in time to examine love in all its fluid and complex forms with its virtual sets, costumes and original music. Artistic Director Holly Champion told City Hub, “it’s one of the few companies that offer performance work, bringing

T together creatives in these challenging times for the arts.” With each show continually finding innovative ways to improve its performance, the young Aussie theatre company has expanded to an international audience to create a much needed sense of community. More than online performances from its creative team, the shows have new additional improvements such as pre-recorded video, sound effects and backdrops to present their audience a full live theatre experience. Don’t miss out on seeing Shakespeare’s tragicomedy The Two Noble Kinsmen. (KC) For more info: www. streamedshakespeare.com

CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY OP SHOP TO CLOSE AFTER 40+ YEARS

C

OVID-19 is set to claim yet another victim by the end of this month when the Cat Protection Society Op Shop on Enmore Road closes its doors for good. “This decision was heartbreaking,” said Cat Protection Society CEO Kristina Vesak. “The Cat Protection’s Op Shop volunteers, customers and donors have made a profound and positive impact on feline welfare in NSW, and Sydney in particular. Their contribution is highly valued and appreciated.” For more than four decades the Op Shop has been central to the Cat Protection Society’s fundraising and community presence. However, due to COVID-19 and the requisite social distancing measures there is a need to utilise the space previously reserved for the op-shop to house feline welfare staff and other retail products for cats.

“Our mission is to care for homeless cats and find loving responsible families for them. We will continue to do that and maintain COVID-safe operations by changing our processes and ensuring more space per person.” “Our shelter will be focused on adoptions (by appointment only) and 85 Enmore Road will become our retail store and welfare office.” The Op-Shop commenced it’s closing down sale on June 11 but will remain open for the remainder of the month. So head in now and grab some goodies, while also helping contribute to the long term welfare of cats in care. 85 Enmore Rd, Newtown. Ph: 9516 2072 or E-mail: opshop@catprotection.org.au

JULIAN TAYLOR - THE RIDGE

SAVANNAH CLARKE - NOW UNITED BY JAMIE APPS t a time when the world has been driven apart by COVID-19 but then drawn together in the fight for justice and an to racism, the global music group Now United is perhaps more poignant than ever. For Australian music lovers the group has gained even greater significance recently with the addition of Sydneysider Savannah Clarke. Now United is a youth pop group consisting of 15 singers, each of a different nationality. Clarke joined the group in February of this year becoming Now United’s first Australian and the youngest member of the group at just 16 years old. When speaking to City Hub Clarke explained that the process of joining the group took place at break neck pace. “It all happened so fast. The week before I was chosen I was starting back at school. Then the next week I was travelling to Brazil for a promo tour. It was crazy!” Even learning about the group’s existence happened incredibly fast for Clarke. “I didn’t know anything about Now United until I got DM’d through Instagram,” she

A

explained. “After I got that message I started researching them and quickly realised how special it was to be contacted by them.” To be contacted by the group was so special because of the man behind the group. The brainchild of Simon Fuller, the creator of the Idol television franchise and manager of stars such as Annie Lennox, the Spice Girls, Amy Winehouse, and Jennifer Lopez. The entire process of meeting Fuller,

being chosen for Now United and then officially joining the group by meeting the other members was a “dream come true” for Clarke. However, it all took place so quickly that Clarke said it was hard to believe at times because her “life literally changed forever at that moment.” Now that Clarke is an official member and has had a chance to take it all in she says she is “honoured” to represent Australia and is looking forward to spreading the group’s message. “We want to be able to travel to every country to show them that everyone from every country can unite and stand together.” In the meantime the group have continued to make content, music and connect with each other. “We’re all spread out in our own different countries at the moment but we’ve all setup our own home recording studios,” said Clarke. “We’re all trying to make lots of positive content to keep sending out positive vibes to everyone who needs it right now.” Follow Savannah Clarke on Instagram at @savannah.clarke and Now United at @nowunited
