Trailer for Vca Film and Television's Digital Archive Project.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary this weekend, Victorian College of the Arts. Film and Television School is releasing a digital archive of never-before-seen student films from throughout its history. Australia.s oldest film school, which boasts a host of illustrious alumni such as Gillian Armstrong, Justin Kurzel, Emma Freeman and Richard Lowenstein, began at Swinburne Institute of Technology in 1966 and moved on to its present home at Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne in 1992. To mark its 50th year, Vca Film and Television has begun releasing 50 unseen student films from over the past five decades. The school.s head Nicolette Freeman compiled the films and said they provided an insight into how Australian society, culture and filmmaking have changed over the years. The release forms part of an ongoing project to eventually make the school.s entire back catalogue publicly available. Freeman told If that given many of Vca.s students were relatively young, their films often depicted stories of childhood or adolescence.
However, over the last 20 or so years, she.s noted a particular increase in stories about first-generation migrant children. .Stories told from the children's point of view, or they're the stories that parents have told them from their home country or about their time in Australia before they started a family. .A really interesting example of that recently is Ariel Kleiman's graduation film, Deeper than Yesterday, that's set on a Russian submarine; a story inspired by stories his father told him about when he was in Russia,. Freeman said. . .Also, interestingly, stories about fractured families and single parent families are something that has developed more over the last ten to fifteen years.. Freeman said she also saw an interesting tendency for students to sometimes make .safer. films in their graduation year, as they think of it as their calling card to the industry. .We do as much as we can to keep that freshness and authenticity and energy going into the graduation year, but you.re also fighting the fact that, at that point, the students are investing more of their own money into the production; they think it.s their last chance,. she said. Despite the expectation that it would be older postgraduate students who'd make more self-assured, confident or adventurous work, Freeman said that wasn.t always the case. . .Sometimes it.s the undergraduate students, like Ariel Kleiman or Jonathan auf der Heide, who are more brazen. They don.t have baggage about proving themselves. They think the world.s their oyster and so they can sometimes be more confident in their audaciousness,. she said.

Title: Partisan Director: Ariel Kleiman Starring: Vincent Cassel, Niger Barber, Jeremy Chabriel, Florence Mezzara. A Partisan usually evokes the heroes of World War II opposing the Nazis, although the exact definition of the word would be “A fervent, sometimes militant supporter or proponent of a party, cause, faction, person, or idea.” This is exactly what Australian director, Ariel Kleiman, portrays in his debut feature film. The director who gained great attention and praise in Cannes, with his short film ‘Deeper Than Yesterday’, chooses to tell the story of a community – accessible through padlocked hidden entrances and concrete passageways – founded by a Messianic figure, Grigori, who believes he can [ Read More ]

Following in the path of former Sundance premiered, Australian stamped films such as Animal Kingdom, Top of the Lake and last year’s The Babadook, Ariel Kleiman’s feature debut is a high profile project that received the Sundance Institute/Mahindra Global Filmmaking Award back in ’12 and was part of the 2012 June Directors and Screenwriters Labs. Production on Partisan began in late 2013 and actually shot for a spurt in Georgia, and originally had Oscar Isaac in the lead before being replaced by Vincent Cassel. It was reported that Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker, French artist Sebastian Tellier and UK group Metronomy have each composed a karaoke song especially for the flick. Prior to this, Kleiman built an especially great rapport with the festival, his 2010 short Young Love won an Honorable Mention in Short Filmmaking, and his following short Deeper Than Yesterday (watch here) won the Kodak Discovery Award for Best Short Film...

Three features promised production investment from Screen Australia are to be partly filmed outside of the country.
The films include Ariel Kleiman’s directorial debut Partisan and Robert Connolly’s “big family film” Paper Planes, which were promised production investment from Screen Australia this week.
Australian filmmakers are increasingly looking outward and these two films continue that trend.
So too does Ruin, the third film backed this time around by Screen Australia. Formerly known as Om Tuk, the drama has already been filmed in Cambodia by writer/directors Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Michael Cody.
Anna McLeish, who is producing with her business partner Sarah Shaw, told ScreeenDaily that Partisan, starring Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis), is expected to go into production in late September and will be filmed in Georgia, Europe and in Warp Films Australia’s home state of Victoria.

When I was writing about Nash Edgerton and Spencer Susser's epic short film The Captain yesterday, I was interested to see that Susser had also directed another short in 2012 called Eugene - produced by Ben Gilovitz who also produced The Captain and Ariel Kleiman's short masterpiece Deeper Than Yesterday. So I knew I had to track this baby down. Then when I was trying to navigate YouTube's atrocious new layout today, I realised that Blue Tongue Films had uploaded Susser's new film in late November, and I've included it below for your viewing pleasure. It seems that Eugene is part of a branded content series for Intel's Ultrabook, and in Susser's style is a sweet little comedy that involves sudden violence.Check out the short below,...

The Independent Film Festival of Boston [1] recently released their full line-up and it's a doozy. Sundance favorites such as The Future [2] and Submarine [3] will be there, along with awesome documentaries like Being Elmo [4] (With Elmo In Attendance!!!) and Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times [5]. I'm looking forward to films I wasn't able to catch at Sundance and SXSW, such as the legal documentary Hot Coffee, the heartbreaking How to Die in Oregon, and the new fascinating Conan O'Brien film. Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins [6] also looks like it will rock the house. The full line-up is below. The festival is April 27th through May 4th, and it's one of my favorite movie events of the year.

Tim Blake Nelson hosted the awards ceremony tonight for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Taking the top prize was Drake Doremus‘ Like Crazy, with Winter’s Bone winning grand jury prize (dramatic) last year. We weren’t too hot on the film, and surprised something great like Sean Durkin‘s Martha Marcy May Marlene or Mike Nichols‘ Take Shelter didn’t grab it.

The first screening I attended at this years Sundance film festival was Shorts Program 1, where I was privy to witness a grab bag of both excellent and sub-par short films. Short film programs are always a tricky beast, because when they are good they are great but when they’re not, they usually are painful to watch. Luckily, the good ones are what will stick with me after the fest and they showcased the talent of future filmmakers that audiences will definitely want to keep an eye out for. So without further ado here is a breakdown of what we saw, followed by our video reaction:
The Strange Ones (dir: Lauren Wolkstein and Christopher Radcliff) This was the first film to play and was definitely a grade above the rest. Reminiscent of the restrained ambiguous style displayed by one of the most buzzed features at the fest, Sean Durkin‘s Martha Marcy May Marlene,...

It's a birthday present any aspiring director would kill for; a phone call informing you that your short film has been selected to compete at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. Well, for Australian Brian Lye, that's exactly what happened. "They called me at home actually," he informs Filmink, "right on the morning of my thirtieth birthday." Lye was informed that his short film, Love Birds, had been selected to play at Sundance next year. Entered as a Czech Republic film, it will compete alongside previously announced Australian short film Deeper Than Yesterday (directed by Ariel Kleiman) in the International Narrative Shorts category.

It was a big night for David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom and Jane Campion’s Bright Star at the 2010 Samsung Mobile AFI Industry Awards last night, with three statues each. Glenn Dunks reports.
The first of the AFI Awards ceremonies rewarded the technical crafts and behind-the-scenes players in a gala hosted by actor Shane Jacobson.
Opening with speeches by AFI Chief Executive Officer Damian Trewhalla and the Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne Susan Riley as well as a musical performance by Claire Bowditch, the night was also filled with some great material from Jacobson.
Animal Kingdom took out the night’s big prize of the Member’s Choice Award and is the odds on favourite to reap far bigger rewards at tonight’s major ceremony. Bright Star could pose a threat, however, after it’s big haul including two for Janet Patterson (Best Production Design, Best Costume Design),who wasn’t at the ceremony.

Remember that one year (2001) when the list-happy AFI (American Film Institute) decided to compete with the Globes and the Oscars in year end prizes? No, that didn't last long. But there's another AFI, The Australian Film Institute, that has been around for a long time and is in no such danger of being a one-off. This year, they're all about the amazing family crime drama Animal Kingdom which they awarded with a record breaking 18 nominations. Sure, the film is in danger of being way overhyped for people who are coming to it late (which is just about everyone given the sorry state of international distribution for dramas of virtually any kind) but for those who can slough off the "omg" raves, I guarantee you'll think it at least an insinuating and well executed crime drama.

What essentially began as a final year project for Melbourne Vca Film & Television School student, Ariel Kleiman, turned out to be a hit when the short film he wrote and directed took out two prizes at the prestigious Cannes Critics' Week. "Cannes was a very overwhelming experience," the young filmmaker tells Filmink before adding with a grin, "I usually spend my Saturday nights in my underwear watching videos so the constant commitments, functions and parties were quite intense." Titled Deeper Than Yesterday, the film was shot on a real submarine anchored in the water off Victoria and explores the claustrophobic world of Russian submariners after three months underwater.

Well, after about two weeks, the Cannes Film Festival has just come to a close, and the jury has come in with what they think are the best of the best from this year’s festival.
Jury head Tim Burton and company have come in, and it appears as though they’ve picked some interesting choices. The Palme d’Or went to Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s film Uncle Boonme Who Can Recall His Past Lives. The film beat out Xavier Beauvois’ Of God And Men, with the latter garnering the most buzz as a possible Best Foreign Film Oscar contender this year. Big names have taken home the top acting prizes, with Javier Bardem and Juliette Binoche taking home best actor and actress for Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s polarizing Biutiful and Abbas Kiarostami’s beloved Certified Copy respectfully. The final big award was also quite a shocking pick, as Best Director...

While this year's Cannes Film Festival might be bookended by Aussie talent, it be fair to assess this year's representation of Australia's Film industry as "short" in stature. A trio of films have been selected for the festival, and of the three we find a pair of short films. Muscles, written and directed by Edward Housden follows the story of boy and his sister who wants to be a bodybuilder, and will screen in Official Competition. Deeper Than Yesterday, (see trailer) written and directed by Ariel Kleiman (who received an Honourable Mention in Short Filmmaking at Sundance) tells the story of Oleg, who emerges after 3 months underwater and fears that losing perspective may mean losing himself. - While this year's Cannes Film Festival might be bookended by Aussie talent, it be fair to assess this year's representation of Australia's Film industry as "short" in stature.
