	Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of approximately 3.6 million (2001 census) in the Melbourne metropolitan area and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area).
		Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Montreal, Osaka, and Prague.
		Melbourne continued to expand steadily throughout the first half of the 20th century, particularly with the post-World War II influx of immigrants and the prestige of hosting the Olympic Games in 1956.

	Cinescapade - Melbourne 2001
		Curiously, not many people bring up Melbourne's International Film Festival (or MIFF as it is known Down Under), even though it is the oldest established film festival in the Southern Hemisphere.
		Although the film centers on Uberoi's mother, an Australian woman who left everything to follow her Indian husband, the real narrative thread is the director's past identity issues.
		MIFF might be far from the party frenzy of star-studded film festivals, but for a great selection of off-the-beaten-track movies, an opportunity to discuss films with filmmakers, or a chance to learn more about Aussie cinema, this is the best place to be.

		Melbourne cinema screens will be working overtime between July 23 and August 11, when the 51st Melbourne International Film Festival hits town.

		A much appreciated aspect of the festival this year (for me, at least) was the Chang Cheh retrospective, which offered a rare chance to catch a handful of the legendary director's Shaw Bros. works the coolest way imaginable.
		A film as intelligent, well-made/acted and unnerving as this should be considered essential viewing for all horror fans.

	A Report on the 53rd Melbourne International Film Festival
		In part, film festivals shape their identities through the kind of associations they form with individual filmmakers, and the continuities they maintain in their programming from year to year.
		This selection of films was itself a subdivision of a larger spotlight program titled Homelands: The Middle East in Focus that incorporated the further categories New Fiction and Documentaries, Emergence: New Woman Filmmakers from the Middle East, and a section devoted to the distinctive essay/diary films of Elia Suleiman.
		One of the effects of seeing so many films in a concentrated period of time is that they begin to set in play a dialogue amongst themselves, with the spectator as a kind of moderator, or, a conduit that facilitates their communication.

		And just as with the other Chang films of the fest, the quality of the presentation is so good these films might as well have been made yesterday.
		I've watched most of Asano Tadanobu's films and have yet to see anything less than perfection from him, the very definition of versatile, and there's one scene in particular revolving around his character which is one of the most poignant moments I've ever witnessed.
		I love 'em and all are excellent (and it has to be the best film Emily has worked on to date), as is the story they're working from, a cold and downbeat drama which comes together through shifting timeframes (a personal favourite storytelling device).

	50th Melbourne International Film Festival, 2001
		A wonderful festival, slightly left-field of Sandra Sdraulig's (read: less American commercial films), with perhaps only the Ishii retrospective misfiring (his films are interesting, but not really worth spotlighting).
		A film of terror, and the loss of the soul, but also of tenderness and understanding.
		And I was pleased with the projectionists too — the festival has been marred by bad focusing and sound problems in recent years, but all 40 sessions I attended went smoothly (mistakes being spotted and corrected quickly).

	Melbourne International Film Festival \|
		Once again the Melbourne International Film Festival is screening a very nice and special programme of films you can´t see at the big screen usually.
		To be honest: this film and all the characters and relations between them and all the happenings which are either shown or just mentioned confused me too much.
		The sex scenes (one of them is 7 minutes without a cut) and one arguing scene go very far so the audience feels uncomfortable in their seats, watching what is going on.

	A Report on the 13th Brisbane International Film Festival
		Herz's film is a cheerfully morbid exposition of the most brutally misapplied forms of “waste management” and ergonomic efficiency, the narrative proceeding on increasingly precipitous inversions of rational logic as the eponymous cremator extemporises his murderous reveries.
		The real male star of the film is the war.” Franju's unflinching eye is as cruel as it is innocently enchanting, but his vision is always lucid in its depiction of the absurdity and waste of modern warfare.
		Despite his international profile – including a tour of Australia in 1974, introducing screenings of The Traitors – Gleyzer was disappeared by the neo-nazi death squads of the 1976 military junta, and tortured to death.

	Brisbane International Film Festival 2005
		It is not a film festival but rather a forum where filmmakers and enthusiasts meet to appreciate and discuss the craft of filmmaking.
		The film is now playing in approximately 75 markets in the typical metropolitan circuits and far-flung corners of Louisiana and Montana and is shaping up to become one of the bigger crossover hits of the year, drawing children and families, adolescents, senior citizens, and the Latino community.
		The film’s awards were predicted by Indian movie portal Galatta.com who describe the film as ‘a classic’.

		Attendances were at record levels, and for good reason, as the festival has capitalised on past innovations such as the wide distribution of a free catalogue, the use of major media partners and government promotional support, as well as 4 good theatres close together in the CBD.
		Overall, the festival gave solid expression to the importance of screen culture to the city.
		The film continues the thread of Chinese filmmaking, which includes Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien, in which long takes and distant framing are combined with innovative staging to discover new ways of manipulating space.

		I went to see this movie as I had seen the original on SBS TV in Australia (along with a documentary by Melvin about what led up to it) and I wanted to see how his son interpreted the role.
		The original movie was interesting as it has three generations of the same family playing roles in the film.
		It was especially good to see the young Mario and how he reacted to his Dad making the movie and the sacrifices they had to make to follow his vision.

	Looking Both Ways: The 54th Melbourne International Film Festival
		In her report on the 52nd Melbourne International Film Festival two years back, Michelle Carey suggested that, for the future, MIFF “needs to trim the fat and truly think about curating a program and subsections with meaning rather than merely filling in the template”.
		His new film Shijie (The World) (2004) is disappointing however: its form verges on the conventional, and it also betrays a bizarre desire to “entertain”, especially with its animation sequences.
		As MIFF now begins to plan its 2006 incarnation, we hope it continues to, at the least, look both ways when programming its material: to the crowd-pleasers, but also to the difficult films.

		Films include Arna’s Children, a documentary on children in the Jenin refugee camp in Palestine, and Wall which, as the title suggests, focuses on the wall being built by Israel to keep out the Palestinians.
		The festival organisers hope that a focus on the Middle East will help to demystify this region and present its inhabitants as human beings who share some of the same hopes, despairs and aspirations as all of us.
