What is unprecedented about their meteoric take-over is the sheer magnitude of their triumph. The teen sensations’ popularity has escalated to levels of such enormity that they’ve made history in America, scorched sales charts worldwide and been dubbed as the new Beatles.

The future for 1D is bright – these boys are at the top – and that is where they’re set to stay. Meet the world’s newest teen idols, as you’ve never known them before. This is their remarkable story. An absolute must-see for any 1D fan, this documentary is jam-packed with explosive behind-the-scenes footage and back stage interviews.

BECKER FILM GROUP Presents LAST DANCE (TBC)

BECKER FILM GROUP

Presents

LAST DANCE (TBC)

Starring 

Julia Blake (Innocence) & Firass Dirani (Underbelly)

* LAST DANCE will have its World premiere at 2012 Melbourne International Film Festival*

The Melbourne International Film Festival 2012 will World premiere this taut story torn from today’s headlines but touching on themes as old as the human condition itself: faith, freedom, love, loss and hope.

Holocaust survivor Ulah Lippmann (Julia Blake) hears of a terrorist attack on a local synagogue in her Melbourne neighbourhood. She has no idea she’ll soon find herself held hostage by a Muslim radical, Sadiq Mohammad (Firass Dirana), who's on the run after surviving the bombing. Desperately wounded, Sadiq sees Ulah’s flat as a place to hide while he plans his next move. And so begins a terrifying ordeal that will force Ulah and Sadiq to confront their own pasts - at times driven by mutual need; at times by unexpected revelations; at times by events outside the room. Fear and hatred turn to sympathy as Ulah takes control, not turning Sadiq in, but nursing him until she discovers his shocking secret...

Starring the multi award-winning acting talent team of Julia Blake (Innocence; Human Touch; The Boys Are Back; Bed of Roses) & Firass Dirani (Underbelly; East West 101) and made by first time feature film director David Pulbrook (known as an AFI Award-winning editor on films including The Cup and Hotel Sorrento), LAST DANCE doesn't take sides, or a politics stance, instead presenting a very human story.

Justin Bieber:
Of course!  I love performing, doing tours and having a new crowd every night that’s something I’ve always loved…  It’s weird I can perform for a lot of people but as you can probably see in my acceptance speeches, I kind of freeze up and I don’t really know how to speak in front of a lot of people.

SWEDISH CINEMA BRINGS NORTHERN LIGHT TO THE SCREENS OF THE 2012 MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

The Swedish Film Institute and The Melbourne International Film Festival will co-present a special programming strand of Swedish cinema at MIFF 2012 in August, with Melbourne set to welcome four acclaimed feature directors from Sweden for the event.

Facing North: Swedish Cinema in Focus showcases an exciting array of new Swedish films and filmmakers from our Nordic neighbours and includes the retrospective Criminal Record: Swedish Crime Cinema which screens five Swedish crime classics from different eras that have taken the crime scene to the screen.

Project Manager at the Swedish Film Institute, Petter Mattsson said of the programme ‘Australia has a special place in the hearts and minds of all Swedes. Not only for the way you embraced ABBA in the 70's and 80's and as a wonderful place to visit but also for the success of As It Is In Heaven a few years ago. We are really happy that MIFF has chosen Sweden as this year's country in focus and look forward to a wonderful festival!’

MIFF Programmer Al Cossar says of the Sweden country focus this year ‘"Sweden continues to go from strength to strength in the stories and storytellers emerging on the world stage from those fascinating northern climes. MIFF is delighted to be presenting to Melbourne audiences a wonderful array of Swedish directors this year - not just in the program, but in-person, too; and we're not just looking forward, but back as well - with our Criminal Record retrospective we investigate anew the underpinnings of that world-dominating Scandi-zeitgeist - the Swedish crime film. So bring on the saunas. Bring on the buffets. Bring on the Bergman (take your pick, we've got Ingmar or Ingrid) - the Swedish are coming!’

FACING NORTH: SWEDISH CINEMA IN FOCUS is a highly acclaimed programme of 16 features and a short film programme, and includes winners from Toronto, Venice, Sundance and Gothenburg International Film Festivals, multiple winners of the Guldbagge Awards (Swedish Oscars) and this year’s Swedish submission to the Oscars®.

Festival guests presenting their films at the festival are:

- A highlight of the festival’s opening weekend is AVALON, with director Axel Petersén attending as a guest of the festival. Variety called Avalon a ‘splendid debut feature’, and it has already collected the FIPRESCI Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival and been selected for both the Berlinale Forum, and as the Opening Night film of the Gothenburg Film Festival, Sweden’s leading international film festival and one of the biggest film events in Europe. Part thriller, part character study, with a nice line in repulsive hilarity, Avalon follows a former 80s party boy preparing to open a nightclub in a Swedish summer resort, where he and his fellow adult teenagers refuse to grow up or leave their hedonistic 80s lifestyles behind…

  

- Oscar nominated director Patrik Eklund brings to the festival his feature debut FLICKER, a deadpan comedy about phone towers, online dating, the odd tarantula and a militant group of people allergic to electricity. A hotly anticipated film that releases in Sweden this September, Flicker is also set for a US release that is already generating buzz, with Twitch film calling Eklund ‘an absolute genius. His short film work shows a remarkable ability to fuse genuine heart - and often tragedy - with deliciously dry and absurd comedy. He'll get - and deserve - his share of Coen Brothers comparisons but Eklund's voice is entirely his own.’

- Award winning director, journalist and former foreign correspondent in Africa, Latin America, Asia and around Europe, Fredrik Gertten brings to the festival his documentary feature BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!*. A true story about a Swedish filmmaker, a banana corporation, and the price of free speech, the film chronicles Gertten’s fight for his last film Bananas!* (MIFF 2010) which recounts the lawsuit that 12 Nicaraguan plantation workers brought against the fruit giant Dole Food Company. When the film was withdrawn mysteriously from the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Dole Food Company came at him with a lawsuit, Gertten knew he had a fight on his hands, and Big Boys Gone Bananas!* lets us in on that eye-opening battle.

- Director and festival guest Malik Bendjelloul’s first feature documentary, SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN was the winner of both the Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival (World Cinema – Documentary). In this film about hope, inspiration and the power of music, a Detroit musician whose soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics look set to make him the greatest recording artist of his generation, but he disappears into obscurity amid rumours of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording finds its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it becomes a phenomenon, completely unbeknownst to him, the artist known as Sixto Rodriguez. Prior to his acclaimed feature debut, Malik Bendjelloul made a number of short documentaries about musical artists including Bjork, Kraftwerk, Sting, Madonna and Elton John. Searching for Sugar Man is from the Oscar and BAFTA winning producer of Man on Wire and Project Nim.

Currently garnering international attention for their performances, Swedish actresses Noomi Rapace (The Millennium Trilogy, Prometheus) and Alicia Vikander (The Royal Affair, the upcoming Anna Karenina) both appear in the programme. Noomi Rapace stars in the powerful drama BEYOND, winner of the International Critics’ Week Award at the Venice Film Festival, Sweden’s submission to the 2012 Oscars® and winner of the 2011 Nordic Council Film Prize, the highest cinematic honour in Scandinavia. PURE, directed by Lisa Langseth, stars Alicia Vikander as a former prostitute determined to enter the closed world of classical music, in her breakthrough performance which Variety hailed as ’riveting’.

Other films include the darkly magical animation for adults METROPIA, one of Sweden’s most expensive and visually impressive animated films ever with voices by Vincent Gallo, Juliette Lewis, Alexander and Stellan Skarsgård and Udo Kier, INVOLUNTARY, HAPPY END, CERTAIN PEOPLE and FALKENBERG FAREWELL.

CRIMINAL RECORD: SWEDISH CRIME CINEMA is the retrospective section of Facing North. Co-curated with Swedish film critic and writer Michael Tapper, it features five Swedish crime classics from different eras that have taken the crime scene to the screen.

In the past two years, Swedish crime cinema has grossed a staggering thirteen million dollars at the Australian Box Office from just three films (The Millennium Trilogy), a phenomenal amount for foreign language cinema from a single country. Now undeniably the world leader in the genre of contemporary crime cinema, this special sidebar is a thrilling exploration of Swedish crime cinema from a period spanning more than 70 years and including some of the biggest names, awards and praise in the business.

Expert in the genre, film critic and former editor-in-chief of Film International Michael Tapper has co-curated this programme which features stories from best-selling fiction, controversial real events and includes Ingrid Berman in one of the best roles of her career, providing an insight into what has made the genre the international sensation it is today and revealing why it has been earning international acclaim for many decades.

Films screening are A WOMAN’S FACE (1938) starring Ingrid Bergman, WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS (1950) – arguably one of the best Swedish films of the late 40s/early 50s which also marked a turning point in Swedish representations of crime; THE MAN ON THE ROOF (1976) – this smart and stylish crime novel adaptation was dubbed as ‘ a first-rate thriller with an almost unbearably tense climax’ by The Hollywood Reporter; IL CAPITANO (1991) controversially brought a triple murder tale straight from the newspaper headlines to the screen only three years after the events occurred in 1988 and won three time Oscar® nominated director Jan Troell (Everlasting Moments) the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 1992 Berlinale; and EASY MONEY (2010) is a shocking and sexy morality tale in contemporary Stockholm that had Martin Scorsese ‘deeply impressed by the harsh, elemental style…a film to be reckoned with’.

FESTIVAL GUESTS -

Patrik Eklund – director of FLICKER

Axel Petersén – director of AVALON

Malik Bendjelloul – director of SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN

Fredrik Gertten – director of BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!*

THE BEASTS ARE COMING! AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR VENTURES DOWNUNDER TO WELCOME US TO THE BATHTUB

Acclaimed Director Benh Zeitlin is confirmed to attend this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival in August in support of his debut feature, the Cannes and Sundance award winning BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. Zeitlin will also travel to Sydney to promote the film’s release in cinemas across Australia on September 13.

The critically acclaimed BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD has not only garnered top honours on the festival circuit this year, winning the Grand Jury Prize (US Dramatic) at Sundance and the Camera d’Or and FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes – but it has also enjoyed enormous success in the US, including an opening week screen average of $55,228.

Zeitlin’s credits on the film not only include Director, but also Co-Writer and Composer. Zeitlin has created a truly original story and wondrous world, one which Rolling Stone has called “A spellbinding movie not to be missed... BEASTS is some kind of miracle.”

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD tells the story of Hushpuppy, a six-year-old girl living at the edge of the world, who faced with her father's fading health and environmental changes that signal the unravelling of the universe, goes in search of her lost mother, and is forced to comprehend her place in the mysterious world around her.

Featuring amazing performances from non-actors, Quvenzhané Wallis (as Hushpuppy) and Dwight Henry (as Wink), Icon Film Distribution will release BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD in cinemas nationally on September 13.

Lennard Promotions & CMC Present Emmylou Harris and her Red Dirt Boys Australian Tour November 2012

Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other artists’ songs, 12-time Grammy Award winner Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, gained admiration as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. On Hard Bargain, her third Nonesuch disc, she offers 11 original songs—three of them co-written with Grammy– and Oscar–winning composer Will Jennings—that touch on the autobiographical while reaching for the universal. 

Few in pop or country music have achieved such honesty or revealed such maturity in their writing. Forty years into her career, Harris shares the hard-earned wisdom that—hopefully if not inevitably—comes with getting older, though she’s never stopped looking ahead. 

Harris called her album and tour Hard Bargain because it just seemed to tie everything together. “The people in your life, and the joy of life, will always bring you back no matter what, and I think that’s echoed in every song in a way. I may be stretching things a little bit but if you had to, ‘Hard Bargain’ would sum up this particular song cycle.”

 The overarching message of Hard Bargain is that music, like life, will go on.

 A 12-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris’ contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008.

Audi launches cars and a catwalk; Audi Expands Targets with Campaign Launch for New Model

Renowned for sharp design and premium quality, the Audi Centre in Sydney is set to launch the new Audi A1 Sportback - a small car that's progressive and beautifully functional, as well as the comprehensive revitalised A4 model range, with new engines and a high level of standard features.

As a fitting suit for the new A1 Sportback and A4 range, local Sydney fashion house, Herringbone, will preview its new men's Summer 2012 collection, which reflects the trend of item dressing with highlight colours in pastels and brights.

Bianca Spender will also unveil her new Spring 2012 'Chrysalid' Collection of beautifully drapes dresses, elongated silhouettes and unique tailoring all inspired by nature.

News Release...

Audi Expands Targets with Campaign Launch for New Model...

Audi Australia has launched a major national marketing campaign for its new five-door A1 Sportback, via TV, print, online and social media channels.

ZETLAND, AUSTRALIA – July 9, 2012: Prompted by the success of the recently launched three-door model - which has already overtaken Mini as the leader in the compact luxury category - the new campaign sees Audi focus on a slightly younger target market.

Alongside eye-catching and sleek national TV, cinema and print executions, the campaign includes online advertising, with a category-exclusive sponsorship of the hugely popular and fast-growing Spotify music streaming service.

Audi’s inituitive Bluetooth streaming allows drivers to connect their telephone to the car’s radio to play music, making a partnership with Spotify the ideal way to select and play the perfect driving tracks.

“This campaign perfectly mirrors the combination of innovation and sophistication that is the Audi brand while targeting a new audience for us. The A1 is Audi’s most-accessible model, and the new Sportback (5 door) model adds versatility to the already-popular compact A1.

This car is proof that luxury does come in small packages and that Audi’s DNA runs through our entire range,” said Audi’s General Manager of Marketing, Janet Markus.

“Audi doesn’t rest on its laurels and not only does the new model reflect that, so too does our approach.”

Since 2004, Audi has enjoyed year-on-year of growth in Australia due to a combination of exceptional new product, clear investment in it’s national dealer network, integrated marketing campaigns and a focus on building a sustainable growth strategy in Australia.

The campaign will run for 3 months. Creative agency: Rapp Collins.
