One Direction mania! ONE DIRECTION: ALL FOR ONE on blu-ray and DVD October 10

So your audience can't get enough of One Direction? Then give them what they want! On October 10 Transmission Home Entertainment will be releasing ONE DIRECTION: ALL FOR ONE on blu-ray, DVD and digital download.

To describe One Direction as the hottest boy-band on the planet is an understatement. ON FIRE is closer to the mark. Their story is quite remarkable – from X Factor losers to global pop domination – in less than a year. Handsome, harmony-singing and choreographed with military precision, the fab five have taken the music world by storm. 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.

Featuring:

• Official interviews with One Direction band members
• Live performances in London and New York
• An early unseen performance of Harry Styles, 1D lead singer, when he was a vocalist with White Eskimos
• Celebrity interviews with boy-bands Big Time Rush, Mindless Behaviour and Westlife, plus Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and more
• Interviews with close friends and family
• Footage of the boys in Australia, the USA and across Europe

Available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download October 10.

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.
