As the Festival gets closer, more success
stories are flooding in regarding our Top 100 films. Excitement!
The
Palace is Picture Perfect
Another win for Australian-Cypriot
co-production of The Palace (the film
won several awards at the South Australian Screen Awards), Nick Matthews has been
awarded Best Cinematography in the short film category.
A tense and stark film, set during the
political and social unrest in 70’s Cyprus, The
Palace has been widely acclaimed since its release last year.

VCA

latter of which will be screening at SKFF. Originally from North Carlton,
Kavanagh will be travelling to Los Angeles and receive mentorship from
Australian-born director Robert Luketic (of Legally
Blonde fame) on Hollywood film sets.

thriller, with a darkly humorous twist, screens at SKFF in Session 13 of the
Top 100 program, Sunday May 27th 2pm – 3.30pm
