METRO SCREEN INVITES YOU TO TWO FREE NIGHTS OF SCREENINGS Short productions made through the Multicultural Mentorship Scheme [MMS] funded by NSW Film and Television Office [NSW FTO] and Raw Nerve funded by the AFC will have their premiere screening at the Chauvel Cinema May 16 and 17. Multicultural Mentorship Scheme screening, Tuesday May 16 at 6pm. Productions screening include: Patti Tsarouhis’s drama Timoleon, George Barbakadze’s drama Black Rain, Alia Alexandra Eva Hassim’s animation The Green Grass of Home and Alina Gozin’a’s drama Closing Stages. These films are a bitter sweet array of stories dealing with loss, the distance between old and new home lands, Chernobyl 20 years on, sacrifice, tradition and the beauty of finding humour in any situation. These films reveal the migrant experience, cultural discrimination and conflicting value systems. Raw Nerve screening, Wednesday May 17 at 6pm. Productions screening include: Luc Anthony’s experimental drama Composure, Tresa Ponnor’s drama Brown Trash, Michelle Bleicher’s experimental drama The Hat, Maree-Louise Evans’s documenatry Squeegeeing, and Sam Phelps’s drama Falling for Grace. These films deal with dark comedy, sex, adventurous hats and the age old notion that a kiss is not just a kiss. See unlikely circumstances producing romance, introverts on a winter’s day and discover an absurd rollercaoster of uncharted sexual awakening. Metro Screen runs these schemes in partnership with the NSW FTO. These schemes provide culturally diverse and first time filmmakers the opportunity to produce short drama’s, documentaries and animations. Each of the nine filmmakers showcased over the two nights has access to equipment, facilities hire, stock, post production facilities, and a $2,000 budget. In addition, each filmmaker was mentored through the process by an industry professional. These schemes run annually. Metro Screen invites the public to these complimentary screenings to acknowledge the work and success of these new independent filmmakers and to experience new stories and ideas produced by young Australians. Venue: Chauvel Cinema, Paddington Town Hall Cnr Oatley Rd & Oxford St Time: 6pm to 7pm, arrive at 5.45pm Fee: complimentary, reservations not required.
