DAGEN Merrill’s Australian film Broken Hill, starring Timothy Hutton and Rhys Wakefield, won the audience choice award on Sunday at the TriMedia Film Festival in Colorado. And seven Australian films have been selected to screen at the influential Pusan International Film Festival. The South Korean event will screen Claire McCarthy’s The Waiting City, Granaz Moussavi’s My Tehran for Sale, Last Ride, Balibo, Jane Campion’s Bright Star and Mary and Max in its world section. The feature film debut from director Rupert Glasson, Coffin Rock, will screen as part of Midnight Passion, the sidebar dedicated to genre films. Heaven knows what South Koreans will make of that diverse lot.
