Three of the Australia’s most insightful filmmakers – Alena Lodkina, Goran Stolevski and Thomas M. Wright – discuss their Gala and Competition Films.
Jason Di Rosso (The Screen Show, ABC Radio National) leads a conversation with three of the brightest and most exciting filmmakers from this year’s festival. Featuring Alena Lodkina (Strange Colours, MIFF 2018; Lightning Ridge: The Land of Black Opals, MIFF 2017; There Is No Such Thing as a Jellyfish, MIFF 2014), whose latest film Petrol screens in our Bright Horizons Competition following its world premiere at Locarno; Goran Stolevski (Would You Look at Her, MIFF 2018; You Deserve Everything, MIFF 2016), whose Of an Age was chosen as this year’s Opening Night Gala, and whose Sundance-premiering You Won’t Be Alone also screens; and Thomas M. Wright (Acute Misfortune, MIFF Premiere Fund 2018), discussing his already internationally acclaimed Bright Horizons Competition nominee The Stranger, which recently premiered at Cannes.
