- From myth to legend Rowland Howard appeared on the early Melbourne punk scene like a phantom out of Kafkaesque Prague or Bram Stoker's Dracula. A beautifully gaunt and gothic aristocrat, the unique distinctive fury of his guitar style shot him directly into the imagination of a generation. He was impeccable, the austerity of his artistry embodied in his finely wrought form, his obscure tastes and his intelligently wry wit. He radiated a searing personal integrity that never seemed to tarnish. Despite the trials and tribulations of his career, in an age of makeover and reinvention, Rowland Howard never 'sold out'. With recent and moving interviews, archival interviews and other fascinating and original footage, AUTOLUMINESCENT traces the life of Rowland S Howard. Capturing moments with the man himself and intimate missives from those who knew him behind closed doors; words and images etch light into what has always been the mysterious dark.

- In 1945-46 Indonesians, Indians, Chinese and Australian trade unions blockaded Dutch shipping in Australia to defend the newly declared Republic of Indonesia. Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens resigned as Film Commissioner for the Netherlands East Indies and made 'Indonesia Calling', a film documenting the trade union's actions. This new, feature documentary revisits Australia's early relationship to it's northern neighbor, Indonesia, and the impact of Joris Ivens' small film on an emerging Australian film culture. Made with passionate commitment, 'Indonesia Calling' provoked a covert response from the state, while helping to create a fertile ground for independent documentary in Australia.
- From his very first film role in Nicolas Roeg's landmark 1971 film Walkabout, the on-screen charisma of David Gulpilil was undeniable. Just 16 years old at the time, Gulpilil had the kind of presence - as both an actor and dancer - that held viewers entranced. Walkabout made the Yolngu man a star and in the decades since his debut, he's become a regular (and often scene-stealing) performer in some of Australia's best-loved films, including Storm Boy, Crocodile Dundee, Ten Canoes, Rabbit Proof Fence, The Proposition and Australia. Following last year's performance in Charlie's Country, directed by Rolf de Heer, he netted a Best Actor (Un Certain Regard) at Cannes - proving Gulpilil is an artist at the height of his powers. His latest project is the documentary Another Country, directed by Molly Reynolds, the third part of the critically acclaimed Country suite (following Charlie's Country, and Reynolds' Still Our Country - Reflections on a Culture). Narrated and guided by Gulpilil himself, Another Country is an attempt to make sense of how modern Indigenous voices can exist between cultures. If there's any other David in the Australian film industry who should appear alongside Margaret Pomeranz - it's this David. The illustrious pair talk about Gulpilil's past, present and future in this celebration of his ongoing contribution to Australian film.
