‘After We Collided.’
Five new mainstream titles entered the market last weekend – but none could beat the third frame of Warner Bros’ Tenet, which is benefiting from repeat business.
Product-starved exhibitors welcomed the influx and were pleasantly surprised by the turnout for Roadshow’s After We Collided but disappointed with Madman Entertainment’s Bill & Ted Face the Music.
A home entertainment release in the US, Paramount’s Paw Patrol: Jet to the Rescue drew a reasonable number of kids and families while fans of Korean boy band BTS flocked to Trafalgar Releasing’s Break the Silence: The Movie.
Released by Universal, Slim & I, Kriv Stenders’ biopic on country music star Joy McKean and her determination to be recognised as a performer and songwriter in her own right, resonated in regional locations.
Numero reported the top 20 titles generated $4.2 million, nearly 30 per cent up on the previous frame. “We have what I...

‘Babyteeth.’
As cinemas around the country prepare to open their doors in July, Universal Pictures has set release dates for Shannon Murphy’s Babyteeth and Kriv Stenders’ Slim & I.
A bittersweet comedy starring Ben Mendelsohn, Essie Davis, Eliza Scanlen and Toby Wallace, Babyteeth will premiere on July 23, counter-programmed against Disney’s Mulan and one week after Warner Bros opens Chris Nolan’s time-travel thriller Tenet.
Universal will be hoping to cash in on the critical buzz for Babyteeth since its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Produced by Alex White and based on Rita Kalnejais’ play, the drama stars Mendelsohn and Davis as a couple who discover their seriously ill teenage daughter Milla (Scanlen) has fallen in love with drug dealer Moses (Wallace).
It’s her protective parents’ worst nightmare but Milla teaches those in her orbit how to live like there is nothing to lose.

Kriv Stenders on the set of ‘Slim & I.’
Amid the Covid-19 crisis filmmaker Kriv Stenders alternates between feeling terrified, depressed and positive – but, on balance, he is extremely optimistic.
The writer-director believes the Australian screen industry will be forever changed by the pandemic – mostly for the better.
In a webinar today with Screen Producers Australia CEO Matt Deaner, Stenders said he was “future-proofing” his development slate even before the virus erupted because he expected the industry to re-set.
That includes a ‘four quadrant’ film designed for wide cinema release, a genre feature and two documentaries, one of which can be filmed remotely.
This crisis will “galvanise all of us us; it’s a battle call,” says the director of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan, Doctor Doctor, Jack Irish and The Pacific: In the Wake of Captain Cook with Sam Neill.
“It will completely change the way I make films on every level.

The Screen Industry Gala Awards.
Despite the event itself being cancelled, Gold Coast Film Festival soldiered on with its annual Screen Industry Gala Awards last night – albeit online.
Winner of the Best Australian Film was director Kriv Stenders’ documentary on Slim Dusty’s wife Joy McKean, Slim & I. Produced by Chris Brown and Aline Jacques, the film sees McKean tell the story of her career, marriage, and her determination to be recognised as a performer and songwriter in her own right.
Indie doco Morgana, co-directed by Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard, took home the Blackmagic Design Best Australian Independent Film Award, winning a Blackmagic Pocket Camera 6K. The film follows Morgana Muses, who in her 40s was an unhappy housewife in Albury. By 50, she was a feminist pornography icon.

Rosemary Kariuki of ‘Rosemary’s Way’.
Screen Australia has announced the final round of documentary funding for the 2018-19 financial year, which sees $3.8 million spread across 18 projects – five under the commissioned program and 13 under the producer program.
The announcement comes as Screen Australia prepares to seek industry feedback on proposed updates to its documentary funding programs; the agency will release an issues paper in late September.
“The last time our documentary programs were revised was in 2014-15, and since that time there has been substantial change in screen business models, content creation and audience viewing habits,” said Screen Australia head of documentary Bernadine Lim.
“We will be looking to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, and how Screen Australia can best support quality, culture and innovation in the documentary industry.”
