BigPond adelaide film festival update
FREE FORUMS THIS WEEKEND
Bruce Beresford & Aden Young In Conversation: Black Robe
10:45am Saturday 28 February
Palace Cinema 6
Bruce Beresford is one of Australia’s best known international directors who is currently completing Mao’s Last Dancer. Aden Young is the star of Lucky Country, which will have its world premiere at the festival. They worked together on Black Robe, an Australian-Canadian co-production, which won awards in both of its countries of origin. One of the most remarkable aspects of the film was the naturalism of its performances. Following this free screening, Bruce and Aden will discuss the actor/director relationship as a central part of the filmmaking process. What models are available for developing performance in relation to the other design elements in a film? How did actor and director adapt to the specific conditions under which this film was made?
