- He was one of the greatest Polar explorers. He was also a world-class photographer. For the first time, the photos and films of South Australian, Sir George Hubert Wilkins are being brought together in this new documentary by Peter Maddern. From under the North Pole ice and deep among the front lines of the Western Front in the Great War, from sailing high above the earth in the Graf Zeppelin to riding the roiling seas on Shackleton's Quest, Wilkins kept his cameras going. His photographic record of the 30 years from 1910 to the Second World War is like no other. If you haven't heard of this great man, this is a time to sit back and be amazed at what he achieved, at what he witnessed and at how he isn't better known in his home town.

- INTERLUDE "A film you can explain in words is not a real film." -- Michelangelo Antonioni The imagery of a film and the music of a soundtrack convey something that mere words cannot. While I may not always agree with Antonioni's quote, my primary aspiration for Interlude is that the film is evocative. It can mean different things to different people but I hope it conveys the stunning beauty and fragility of life, the new overtaking the old, and embracing the wonder of the moment. Katherine Terrell toured the world as a professional opera singer. She is also a cancer survivor. After losing my parents and other friends in recent years, mortality has been a constant element not only in my life but in the lives of so many others. This is one of the inspirations for Interlude, as was the timeless classic, Alice in Wonderland. My film is yet another trip down the rabbit hole of life and Kathy's performances are part of the cavalcade of imagery of Interlude, as life rushes by like a dream.
